Description
Staub La Cocotte 8 l Cast Iron Oval Cocotte is the ultimate large-format Dutch oven for entertaining, family feasts, and impressive centrepiece roasts. With a generous 8L capacity and 37 cm width, this cocotte is ideal for preparing meals for 6 to 8 people. The oval shape is purpose-built to accommodate the natural form of a whole chicken, large leg of lamb, whole fish, or an impressive roast, allowing for more efficient use of oven space and more even cooking than a round cocotte would allow. The innovative self-basting drop-structure lid continuously releases condensed liquid back onto the food, keeping meat dishes succulent and tender throughout the cooking process. The black matte enamel interior, predominantly composed of glass, is exceptional at retaining and distributing heat evenly and slowly throughout the food, delivering outstanding browning without ever needing seasoning. 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. Its exceptional heat-retaining properties also make it ideal for cold dishes and desserts straight from the fridge. Rooted in French culinary heritage, this heirloom piece is built to last a lifetime and designed to be passed from generation to generation.
