A small fireproof dish is a type of cookware that is designed to withstand high temperatures and is often used for baking, roasting, and other cooking techniques. The two most common types of small fireproof dishes are cocottes and ramekins. Cocottes are round, lidded dishes with handles, while ramekins are small, shallow dishes without lids. Both are typically made from ceramic or metal and can be used in the oven, on the stovetop, or even in the microwave.
