Description
Staub La Cocotte 12 l Cast Iron Oval Cocotte is Staub's largest and most impressive oval Dutch oven, designed for serious entertaining, large family gatherings, and spectacular centrepiece roasts. With a generous 12L capacity and 41 cm width, this cocotte is ideal for searing and slow-cooking large roasts, whole chickens, and impressive cuts that demand a vessel of exceptional scale. The oval shape is purpose-built to accommodate the natural form of whole poultry, large legs of lamb, or whole fish, allowing for more efficient use of oven space and more even cooking than a round cocotte would allow. The special drop-structure lid continuously releases condensed liquid back onto the food, keeping meat dishes exceptionally juicy and tender throughout the cooking process. The black matte enamel interior is ideal for searing and is particularly durable, delivering outstanding browning without ever needing seasoning. Cast iron's exceptional heat retention keeps food warmer for longer once cooked. Ergonomic side handles allow safe and elegant transfer from oven to table. Compatible with all stovetops including induction, and oven safe, it transitions beautifully from stovetop to oven to table. Rooted in French culinary heritage, this heirloom piece is built to last a lifetime and designed to be passed from generation to generation.
