Marmite (cooking dish)

A marmite, c. 1625–1650, found during the excavations of the Louvre Palace

A marmite (pronounced [maʁˈmit]) is a traditional crockery casserole vessel found in France. It is famed for its "pot-belly" shape.[citation needed]

According to the French culinary reference work Le Répertoire de la Cuisine, a marmite can be either a stock pot or "a French pot with lid similar to a casserole with two finger-grips on each side."

It lends its name to Marmite, a British savoury spread and to marmitako, a Basque tuna dish.
