The cinnamon-coloured cocotte looks equally good in the kitchen as on the table, which is why it is generally to serve as well as cook food. Cocottes are perfect for preparing the most diverse dishes, but above all for slowly stewing meat and vegetables. They are made of cast iron, which retains heat for longer and releases it slowly. The heat is also distributed over the entire surface in cast iron cookware so that all ingredients are evenly and gently cooked, enabling the flavours to fully develop and allowing your food to take on a uniquely good taste. The Staub cocotte is around 15 cm high with a diameter of 22 cm; it holds 2.6 litres and can be used on all types of cooker including induction hobs. The casserole dish can also be popped into the oven for stews and casseroles that need a longer slow cooking time. The special 'spiked' structure in the lid distributes the condensation produced during cooking evenly over your food, ensuring that it does not dry out. The inside of the casserole dish has a matt black enamel coating. Even newcomers to cooking will have success with a range of dishes in this roasting pan from the La Cocotte series.
