Cocotte 24 cm, Rond(e) bordeaux STAUB

I use my 4qt cocotte for making small quanitiy recipes of soups, stews and chili. I especially like to use this size for baking artisan or self rising bread. Since the cocotte can tolerate high heat and and distributes heat so well the bread is always crusty on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. Made in France, Staub cast iron is surrounded by 3 layers on enamel on the interior and 3 layers of a beautiful glaze on the exterior. No need to season these pots and they can even go in the dishwasher if necessary. Interior is slightly textured for a perfect brown or sear and easy release. The lids have continuous basting beads for a consistently moist environment during cooking. No wonder restaurants prefer to cook in Staub. This pot will not disappoint.

Perfect size to make soups and stews and they always come out so flavorful mainly because of the great heat retention and the well sealed lid. The Cranberry Staub color is so pretty and a nice change from traditional colors for a kitchen. Cooks so evenly and well made in France.

I love using this 4qt cocotte for side dishes. Seems like we always have some kind of potato cooking in it for dinner. The pan has exceptional heat capability, heats quickly and evenly. There are self-basting spikes on the interior of the lid which collect and return all moisture back into dish so you don't lose any flavor through condensation. The black matte finish on the inside of the pan will crust anything you make beautifully.

This 4 qt. Cocotte is a great size dutch oven and is a perfect size for individual to medium portion size recipes. I love how versatile of a piece this is, and I use it for so many things: soups, casseroles, bread, etc. I love how the lid helps keep in the moisture in the cocotte for even cooking and helps prevent your food from drying out. The Cranberry color is unique and brings a nice pop of color to any kitchen.

Love Staub! The cast iron body heats up evenly. The black textured interior browns and caramelizes beautifully. The under side of the lids have self basting spikes which circulate the moisture to keep food full of moisture and flavor. The beautiful colors and the heat retention make a perfect presentation on the table.

Black matte enameled interior makes for perfect browning and braising. Continuous self- basting spikes found on the underside of lid produce moist, tender, flavorful recipes. Heat retention properties allow for stunning oven to table serving. Available in an array of enameled colors.
