Staub low cast iron cocotte casserole

A robust construction and a lid with a unique design are what make this Staub low cast iron cocotte casserole a piece you’ll cook wonderfully with for many, many years. Dishes full of flavour and with results as tender and juicy as those from the finest restaurant, making cooking a delight and enjoying your meals something truly extraordinary. You won’t want another one!

Made in France, this low cocotte made from vitreous enamelled cast iron stands out for its exceptional durability, excellent heat retention and distribution, and versatility.

But what really sets this low cocotte casserole apart is its condensation lid with “Chistera Drop” structure. This structure collects condensation and redistributes it evenly over the food. The results are much more tender, juicy and full of flavour.

The interior enamel of the Staub cocotte is matt black. Highly resistant and appreciated for how well it performs in slow and gentle cooking as well as at high temperatures. This finish enhances the browning of food, offers great durability, is highly resistant to stains and scratches, and makes cleaning and maintaining your cocotte easier.

Enamelled cast iron is simply a magnificent material for cooking. Free from non-stick coatings, it offers completely natural and healthy cooking. It retains heat exceptionally well and distributes it evenly, from the base to the rim and the lid, which also heats up. Its wide handles allow for easy and comfortable handling, so you can enjoy cooking with it and bring it straight to the table to serve your recipes.

What the Staub low cast iron cocotte casserole is ideal for

With this low cast iron casserole you can cook as many recipes as you can imagine. Its greater thickness and condensation lid are wonderful allies, as they retain temperature, aroma and flavour extraordinarily well. This helps cooking become very efficient. The low cocotte is ideal for:

• Preparing stews and casseroles. Perfect for slow-cooked dishes such as stews, casseroles and soups. The cast iron distributes heat evenly, cooking ingredients gently and bringing out their flavours.
• Oven roasts, both vegetables and meats. By retaining moisture, aromas and flavours are not lost, resulting in deliciously tender dishes.
• Slow-cooked meats: Prepare slowly cooked meat dishes such as ragù, pulled meat or even ribs. The constant gentle heat ensures tender and flavourful meat.
• Legumes and vegetables: All types of legumes and vegetables. From boiling them to preparing hearty stews, you can cook nourishing dishes packed with vitamins, iron and goodness.
• Rice dishes: from simply boiling rice to making risottos or rice dishes your own way.
• Fish: stewed or roasted, it turns out wonderfully.
• Pasta dishes: From lasagne to macaroni cheese, cocottes are perfect for baked pasta dishes. They allow even cooking and retain heat to keep dishes warm. Their generous capacity means you can boil all kinds of pasta in them. And if you want to finish with a gratin in the oven, you can do so in the very same cocotte.
• Vegetarian dishes: steamed, gratinated or sautéed. Cocottes preserve nutrients and enhance the natural flavours of vegetables.
• Breads and cakes: Heat retention makes cocottes ideal for baking bread, buns and cakes. The flat condensation lid allows you to place ice cubes on top, enhancing the humid environment inside like a steam oven and encouraging the formation of a crispy crust and soft crumb. There’s no need to moisten the oven as with other bread-making methods, thanks to its continuous condensation lid system.
• Sauces and reductions: The even heat distribution helps create perfect sauces and reductions. From pasta sauces to meat glazes, the cocotte is excellent for slow simmering.
• Creams, jams, and many other desserts. With the cocotte you have a piece that distributes heat very efficiently from the base up the sides. It also has a good capacity, making it ideal for cooking everything from sweet creams to jams, rice pudding and many other desserts and preparations you can imagine.
• It is also perfect for keeping prepared food at the right temperature, both hot and cold.
