The Staub 0.5-qt Round Cocotte is a small enameled cast iron pot for single servings, sides and small batches. Its matte black enamel interior browns meat without seasoning and resists staining, and the spiked lid drips condensation back onto food for self-basting. It is the smallest cocotte in Staub's line, so it suits one or two people, baked sides, sauces or a personal pot pie rather than family stews. Against larger Dutch ovens it trades capacity for quick heating and easy table service.

Owners rate it highly, praising its small size for sides and single servings and its even browning. Some find it smaller than expected and note the weight and care cast iron requires.
The Staub Cast Iron Round Cocotte holds 0.5 quart and comes in Graphite Grey. It is made of enameled cast iron, which retains heat and heats the pot evenly throughout. It is used for slow-cooking meats and vegetables and for simmering stews and soups.
The lid has tiny spikes on the inside. They continually release condensed liquid back onto the food, so the lid is self-basting. The interior has a matte black enamel finish for browning and braising.
The enamel exterior lets the cocotte go from the kitchen to the table for serving.
