"Cocotte" in French means "casserole," but there are a multitude
of dishes that emerge delectably from Staub's signature French
oven. This attractive 8-quart cocotte, available in an array of
rich colors, is an ideal choice for slow-cooked stews and soups,
casseroles, and roasted meats, as well as many other one-pot
meals. Measuring 12-1/2 inches in diameter, the cocotte is
constructed of durable cast iron with a black matte enameled
interior and an enameled ceramic finish that extends to the pot
and lid edges to prevent chipping and rusting. And with its
decorative design, it serves as beautifully as it cooks.
Designed for oven or stovetop use, the cocotte features a
smooth, heavy earthenware base that will never warp and can
handle any cooking surface, including glass, induction, and
convection. Like the pot itself, the handles and lid are cast
iron for durability and even heat distribution and retention
(handles and brass or stainless steel lid knobs do get hot, so
use caution). The lid features innovative self-basting spikes to
continually redistribute juices back to the ingredients as they
cook. The black-matte enameled interior doesn't need seasoning
and, as cooking oils seep into the pores over time, will become a
self-seasoned, non-stick surface. Oven-safe to 500 degrees F,
Staub's French oven doesn't need high heat and so should be used
on low to medium settings. For best care, use with silicone or
wooden utensils and wash by hand with non-abrasive cleaners. The
cocotte comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Made in France.
