The cocotte is a braising pot that is not only suitable for preparing dishes from French cuisine but also for soups, roasts, and baked dishes from around the world. The heat-retaining properties of cast iron, combined with Staub's innovative enamel coating, ensure gentle and healthy cooking that preserves the flavors and nutrients of the food. The cocotte is oval and dark blue, a stylish cookware that, with a width of 375 millimeters and a height of 118 millimeters without the lid, is also suitable for serving at the dining table at home or in a restaurant. Since cast iron retains heat well, the dishes stay warm for a long time and can be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. The matte black enamel also ensures that the original flavor of the food is very well preserved, and this ability even strengthens over time. Whether gratin or soufflé, with Staub's cocotte, even beginners and home cooks can venture into the delicious dishes of French cuisine. Soups, roasts, ragouts, and stews also benefit from the effective absorption and release of heat. Thanks to a novel lid design, condensation is evenly distributed over the food while cooking. With Staub's cocotte, which has a capacity of 5.5 liters, meat becomes beautifully juicy, and vegetables wonderfully tender.
