I love my Le Creuset Cocotte. It was my last year’s Christmas present! Such an important piece in the kitchen. I have used it to make soup, curry, briyani rice, congee and many more.

Just a few days ago, I used it to cook fish Chinese Congee. This cast iron piece is so suitable in cooking congee as it retains the heat longer than any other pots. To make the best congee, allows slow cooking time of a least 1.5 hours or more in order achieve the smooth and silky texture. It also depends on the type of rice you use. I usually mix basmati rice with a bit of short grain rice.

Not only I think Le Creuset is one of my best pots in the kitchen, a good size of 26cm in diameter allows me to cook more and keep for the next day.
