La Cocotte from STAUB
Cast iron cookware has been used for many centuries, among other reasons, for its excellent energy efficiency. The material is known for its even heat conduction and retention, which means that fried dishes develop many roasting aromas. Chilled food also benefits from the temperature retention properties, as it stays cool for several hours and can be served without any problem at garden parties.

ULTIMATE SLOW COOKER
Made in France, STAUB enameled cast iron cocottes are perfect for braising and browning meats, cooking fish, and preparing soups and stews.

ENAMELED CAST IRON
Textured black matte enameled cast iron possesses exceptional heat-retaining qualities, so the pot heats evenly throughout.

TIGHT-FITTING LID
The innovative self-basting lid features tiny bumps on the interior that continually release condensed liquid back onto food, resulting in moist, flavourful results.

STOVE, OVEN, TABLE
It is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, and oven safe to 500°F. Serve right to the table in the dish you cook in.

OVERSIZED HANDLES
Easy-to-grip double handles offer easy maneuverability and efficient oven-to-table transport while wearing oven mitts.

EASY CARE
Unlike traditional cast iron, STAUB enameled cast iron does not require seasoning and can be cleaned with soap and water by hand or in the dishwasher.
