The cocotte, a traditional French cooking vessel, has been used and loved by star chefs and gourmets for centuries. It fully meets the demands of modern cooking: vitamins and flavors are preserved, only a little fat is needed, and healthy dishes can be prepared with minimal effort. Like all STAUB cocottes, it is made of cast iron and coated on the inside with a black enamel that not only enhances cooking properties but also makes handling easier. The material distributes heat evenly, keeping energy consumption very low. When the dish is served in the cocotte, it stays hot for an extended period. Let the color inspire you and give your roast chicken an extravagant touch by placing some shaved truffle under the skin before it goes into the oven. Hand washing is recommended.
