A Note About Confit Pots:

Confit is a traditional French method of preserving meat, typically duck or goose, by cooking it in its own fat. These pots were used to store the confit, keeping it submerged in the fat for preservation. Today, these pots are sought-after for their rustic charm and historical significance, adding a touch of French country style to any kitchen.
