The Staub 5 Quart Round Cocotte in Black is a high-quality cast iron cooking pot designed for a variety of culinary applications. This round cocotte measures approximately 33 cm in diameter at the top, about 22 cm in diameter at the bottom, and stands 17 cm tall with the lid on. Without the lid, the height is about 12 cm. Made from durable cast iron with a solid 4 mm thick base, this cocotte offers excellent heat retention and even heat distribution. The interior features a matte black enamel coating that promotes exceptional browning and develops a natural non-stick surface over time. The exterior is finished with glossy black enamel, complemented by a heat-resistant nickel steel knob on the lid. With a capacity of 5.25 liters, this cocotte is ideal for braising, stews, roasting, and baking. The tightly fitting lid helps retain moisture and flavor during cooking. Made in France, this cookware transitions seamlessly from the stovetop to the oven and can withstand temperatures up to 260 °C. The ergonomic side handles provide a secure grip and comfortable handling. This versatile piece serves both as a cooking vessel and as servingware, making it suitable for family meals and social gatherings. The durable enamel coating resists chipping and discoloration with proper care. This cocotte represents the successor to earlier Staub cast iron designs and upholds the brand's reputation for high-quality craftsmanship and reliable performance in both professional and home kitchens.
