Juliens or French omelets are served today in restaurants in small saucepans with fancy lids. These kitchen utensils, which are more than three hundred years old, are originally from France. It is called a cocotte.
A cocotte pot is a small metal saucepan with a long handle. The historical homeland of the cocotte maker is France. Translated from French, a cocotte maker is a chicken, since for the first time this unpretentious object was used to make an omelet. The cocotte maker was extremely convenient and because of its small enough size, designed for just one chicken egg and a small amount of cream, cooked in a saucepan with additions in the form of cheese, herbs, vegetables or ham.
Julienne saucepan
Cocotte makers are made of stainless steel or ceramics. Each material has its own specific merits. For example, steel cocotte makers are characterized by increased strength and resistance to high temperatures. This saucepan will last for more than one year, as stainless steel is highly durable.
Ceramic cocotte makers are more expensive than steel ones, despite their low reliability. But due to the fact that such a cocotte maker is evenly heated, it will fully preserve the taste and all the useful properties of the cooked dish. Another important advantage of the cocotte maker is that it does not need to be oiled, as nothing sticks to it.
The capacity of such a saucepan is 100 to 400 ml. This piece of kitchen utensils can be bought at any store that sells utensils, as well as ordered online.
