Know before you buy
This 7-quart cocotte is ideal for serving 7 to 8 people. It is a generous size that works well for large family meals, batch cooking, or hosting dinner parties.
No, the interior is enameled, so it does not require seasoning. The matte texture is designed to provide superior browning and is naturally resistant to staining and sticking over time.
Yes, the smooth enamel bottom is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and glass ceramic.
Those spikes are a signature Staub feature designed for self-basting. They collect condensation during cooking and distribute it evenly back onto your food, keeping meats and vegetables moist and flavorful.
Yes, the pot itself is oven-safe up to 900°F. However, if you are using the lid, be mindful that the knob material may have a lower temperature rating, so check your specific knob type if you plan on extreme heat cooking.
While it is technically dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand washing. Hand washing preserves the enamel finish and prevents the exterior color from dulling over the years.
