Description
Staub La Cocotte 5.5 l Cast Iron Oval Cocotte is the definitive vessel for whole poultry, large roasts, and whole fish. The oval shape is purpose-built to accommodate the natural form of a whole chicken, leg of lamb, or side of salmon, allowing for more efficient use of oven space and more even cooking than a round cocotte would allow. With a generous 5.5L capacity, this cocotte is ideal for main courses for 4 people or generous side dishes for a larger group. The innovative Chistera drop-structure lid delivers Staub's signature Aroma Rain effect: unlike conventional lids where condensation falls only to the sides, the Chistera's curved drop-structure gathers moisture from the entire lid surface and showers it continuously and evenly back onto the food below, guaranteeing delectable roast chicken and braised short ribs every time. The black matte enamel interior delivers exceptional browning without ever needing seasoning, while cast iron's outstanding heat retention ensures even, gentle cooking throughout. 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.
