Description
Staub La Cocotte 5.25 l Cast Iron Round Cocotte is a timeless and iconic French Dutch oven, rooted in centuries of culinary tradition. The word "cocotte" itself is the French word for "little hen", reflecting the vessel's origins as the definitive dish for cooking chicken in France. Since then, the cocotte has become the cornerstone of French culinary tradition, beloved by home cooks and professional chefs alike for soups, stews, ragouts, gratins, and delicate soufflés. With a generous 5.25L capacity and 26 cm diameter, this cocotte is ideal for preparing meals for 4 to 6 people. The tight-fitting lid with interior spikes creates a rain-forest effect that continuously returns juices onto food, keeping meat wonderfully succulent and vegetables full of flavour. The black matte enamel interior delivers exceptional browning without ever needing seasoning, while cast iron's outstanding heat retention ensures even, gentle cooking that preserves both flavour and nutritional content. 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.
