The cocotte, a traditional French cooking vessel, has been used and loved by Michelin-starred chefs and gourmets alike for centuries. But it also meets the demands of modern cooking: vitamins and flavors are preserved, very little fat is needed, and healthy dishes can be prepared with minimal effort. Like all STAUB cocottes, it is made of cast iron and coated on the inside with black enamel, which not only improves its cooking performance but also makes it easier to use. The material distributes heat evenly, keeping energy consumption very low. When the dish is served in the cocotte, it stays hot for especially long. Let the color inspire you and give your roast chicken an extravagant touch by slipping a few shavings of truffle under the skin before putting it in the oven. Hand-washing recommended.
