Staub - 3.8 L (4 QT) Sage Round Cast Iron Cocotte

The cocotte originated in France, where this casserole dish was originally designed for cooking chicken—the word "cocotte" itself means "little hen" in French. Over time, it has become a versatile piece used for a wide variety of dishes, including soups, stews, ragouts, gratins, and even delicate soufflés. Whether in the hands of beginners exploring oven-baked recipes or professional chefs crafting refined French cuisine, the cocotte is a trusted tool. Made from cast iron, it not only looks beautiful but excels at retaining and evenly distributing heat, enhanced by Staub’s special matte black enamel that helps preserve each dish’s unique flavor. Its excellent heat retention allows meat and vegetables to cook gently, preserving both taste and nutritional value, making it ideal for healthy meals. The cocotte’s specially designed lid releases condensation at regular intervals, keeping meat tender and juicy. With the Staub cocotte, you can create deliciously flavorful dishes and treat your guests to perfectly cooked meals.
