Artichoke cast iron cocotte Staub

With the Staub cast iron artichoke cocotte, you will not only cook wonderfully, it will also become the centre of attention. It is made from enamelled cast iron, a material that works really well for slow cooking, stews, casseroles and gentle browning, and its black enamelled interior provides an ideal surface for searing food and keeping in all its flavour. You will notice it in the results!

Like all Staub cast iron pieces, it distributes heat very efficiently, holds it for longer and helps dishes turn out juicy, aromatic and really tasty.

The matt black vitreous enamel interior is highly valued for how well it performs in slow, gentle cooking and at high temperatures too. This finish helps brown food, is extremely durable, highly resistant to stains and scratches, and makes cleaning and maintenance easy.

But this beautiful 22 cm cast iron cocotte, handcrafted, stands out for its naturalistic artichoke-shaped design, with a very natural, elegant basil green finish.

What’s more, the relief pattern inside its lid helps steam condense and drip back onto the food, helping to better preserve flavours and juiciness. It is a cocotte designed for cooking slowly and very efficiently, thanks to its excellent heat retention, and one you will love showing off at the table thanks to its charming design.

What the Staub cast iron cocotte is ideal for

With a Staub cast iron cocotte, you can cook as many recipes as you can imagine. Its greater thickness is a wonderful ally, as it retains temperature extraordinarily well. That helps you cook very efficiently. The cocotte is ideal for:

• Making stews and casseroles. It is perfect for slow-cooked dishes such as stews, casseroles and soups. Cast iron distributes heat evenly, cooking ingredients over a low heat and bringing out their flavours.
• Oven roasts, both vegetables and meat. Because moisture is retained, aromas and flavours are not lost and the results are really tasty and tender.
• Slow-cooked meat: Make slow-cooked meat dishes such as ragù, pulled meat or even ribs. The steady, gentle heat ensures tender meat full of flavour.
• For soups and creamy soups with deep flavour and a really pleasant texture.
• Pulses and vegetables: All kinds of pulses and vegetables. From boiling them to making your stews, you can cook hearty one-pot dishes and meals full of vitamins, iron and goodness.
• Rice dishes: from simply boiling rice to making risottos or rice dishes your way.
• Fish: stewed or roasted, it turns out fabulous.
• Pasta dishes: From lasagne to macaroni cheese, cocottes are perfect for baked pasta dishes. They allow even cooking and hold the heat to keep dishes hot. They are tall pots with a good capacity, so you can boil all kinds of pasta in them. And if you want to brown it in the oven at the end, you can do it in the same cocotte.
• Vegetarian or vegetable dishes: Steamed, gratinéed or sautéed. Cocottes preserve nutrients and bring out the natural flavours of vegetables.
• Breads and sponge cakes: Their heat retention makes cocottes ideal for baking bread, buns and sponge cakes. The flat lid with constant condensation lets you place ice cubes on top, boosting the moist atmosphere inside, as in a steam oven, and helping to form a crisp crust and a soft crumb. You do not need to add moisture to the oven as you do with other bread-making methods, thanks to its lid with a continuous condensation system.
• Sauces and reductions: The even heat distribution helps you create perfect sauces and reductions. From pasta sauces to glazes for meat, the cocotte is excellent for slow cooking.
• Hot drinks, jams , and so many other desserts. With the cocotte, you have a piece that spreads heat from the base to the sides very efficiently. It also has a good capacity, so it is ideal for cooking everything from hot drinks and punches to jams, rice pudding, custards and any other desserts and preparations you can imagine.
• It is also perfect for keeping prepared food at the right temperature, whether hot or cold.
