Description
Staub La Cocotte Essential French Oven with Lily Lid and Trivet 2-Piece Cast Iron is a showpiece for your kitchen and table, combining Staub's legendary cast iron performance with an innovative new lid design. The star of this set is the Chistera drop-structure lid, inspired by the wicker basket chistera used by Basque pelota players to scoop and hurl balls with precision. Unlike conventional domed lids where condensation falls only to the sides, the Chistera lid's curved drop-structure gathers moisture from the entire surface and showers it continuously and evenly back onto the food below. The result is exceptionally moist, flavourful roast chicken, braised short ribs, and slow-cooked dishes that surpass anything a standard lid can achieve. The set includes a 23 cm cast iron trivet, allowing you to bring the cocotte directly to the table in style. The black matte enamel interior delivers exceptional browning without ever needing seasoning, while cast iron's outstanding heat retention ensures even, gentle cooking. 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.
