I'm interested in how it's a kind of casserole, if you can expand on that (en anglaise svp!)?
English Wikipedia cocotte disambiguation suggests French oven, which redirects to Dutch oven, which is just what Americans call a casserole.
Is it the enamelling, which Wikipedia suggests is sometimes used as a distinguishing feature between 'Dutch' and 'French' ovens? (I've (British) never heard of the latter before.)
Apparently a cocotte is also an 'elegant prostitute'/courtesan, meaning 'small child' before that. So is a cocotte a small casserole, peut être?
