Originally used to cook delicious French casserole dishes, this cocotte can also be used to make delicious meat dishes such as beef bourguignon, as well as vegetable stews like ratatouille. The dish cooks all ingredients slowly and gently so that their flavors can fully develop and blend together. The cast iron Staub cocotte features a matte black enameled interior. This enamel enhances the natural flavor of a dish and is extremely robust, scratch-resistant, and easy to care for, just like cast iron. The round Staub cocotte has a diameter of 20 cm (8 in), a height of approximately 14 cm (6 in), and a volume of 2.2 L (2 qt). This casserole dish can be used on any hob, induction hob, or oven to create exquisite food. The enamel also improves with every use, so why not invite your friends around more often to enjoy the delicious casserole dishes you have made in your new cast iron cocotte?
