The cocotte is a cast-iron cookware item from traditional French cuisine that is now used in fine dining kitchens around the world. Cast iron is ideal for preparing a variety of roasts, ragouts, and stews, as well as soufflés and gratins. The combination of cast iron and an enamel coating is perfect for gently searing and cooking food. This helps preserve the food’s nutrients and flavor. Home cooks and professionals alike can benefit from the durability of this round cocotte, shown here with a base diameter of 29 cm and a capacity of 12.6 L. This is especially advantageous because the enamel develops its flavor-enhancing properties over time. These sturdy Dutch ovens can also be used on all types of stovetops, including induction. They are exceptionally easy to handle, making cooking a breeze, and the easy-care enamel coating means cleanup takes very little effort. The cocotte lids are designed to distribute condensation evenly over the food as it roasts or cooks. This keeps meat deliciously juicy and allows vegetables to develop their flavor further. With Staub’s black Dutch oven, you can prepare delicious dishes from both traditional and modern cuisine with ease and enjoyment.
