Know before you buy
Yes, the 24 cm (approx. 4-quart) round cocotte is the gold standard for most households. It is perfectly sized for cooking stews, braises, or soups for four to six people.
No, the interior is finished with a matte black enamel that does not require seasoning. It is designed to be non-reactive and durable, making it ideal for browning meats and simmering acidic sauces.
Absolutely. The flat, magnetic cast iron base makes it highly efficient on induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic glass ranges.
The spikes are a signature Staub feature designed for self-basting. They collect condensation from the steam during cooking and distribute it evenly back onto the food, keeping your roasts and stews moist.
While it is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish and longevity of the enamel over time.
Staub cocottes are known for being quite substantial due to their thick, high-quality cast iron construction. This weight is intentional, as it provides excellent heat retention and stability on the stovetop.
