Doufeu

A doufeu is a baking or roasting vessel with a concave lid. The shape of the lid allows the cook to place ice on the top of the vessel, cooling the steam inside and condensing it to drip back down on the food being cooked. The term doufeu is derived from the French language meaning gentle heat. Items in a doufeu are GeneRally cooked slowly which, combined with the marinating effect of the condensation, results in moist and flavorful dishes.
