Staub - 4QT La-Mer Round Cocotte

The cocotte originated in France, where this casserole dish was designed to cook chicken dishes: in fact, the word "cocotte" itself is the French word for "little hen". This particular cocotte is grey, adding a hint of elegance when presenting food at the table. As well as being aesthetically pleasing, cast-iron is an excellent heat retainer and is good at distributing heat equally, characteristics which are enforced by Staub's special matte black enamel. The durable bottom of the enameled cast-iron Dutch oven can serve as a pan for searing food before slow cooking or adding to the oven, making this an incredibly versatile model. This enamel also helps preserve a food's unique flavor. Since a cocotte retains heat well, meat and vegetables can be cooked gently whilst preserving both flavor and nutritional content. It is therefore perfect for cooking healthy meals. Its specially designed lid also releases condensation at regular intervals, keeping meat wonderfully succulent. Staub is known worldwide for making the best Dutch ovens. With the Staub cocotte, you can treat yourself and your guests to beautifully tender meat and delicious-tasting vegetables at any time.
