Our take on the Staub Cast Iron 3-pc Cocotte and Fry Pan Set

This Staub set pairs a 5.5-quart enameled cast iron cocotte with a 10-inch cast iron fry pan and a lid. Both pieces work on gas, electric, halogen and induction, and the cocotte goes into the oven up to 900°F without its lid. Staub's black matte enamel interior needs no seasoning and its self-basting spikes on the lid return moisture to the food. The set is a strong value against buying the two pieces separately, though cast iron is heavy and the cocotte alone weighs over 11 pounds.

Pros
  • Enameled interior needs no seasoning and resists staining
  • Works on induction, gas, electric and halogen
  • Oven safe to 900°F without the lid
  • Lid spikes redistribute moisture during braising
  • Dishwasher safe, unlike bare cast iron
  • Two core pieces cover searing, frying and slow cooking
Cons
  • Heavy: the 5.5-quart cocotte alone is over 11 pounds
  • Black interior makes it harder to judge browning than white enamel
  • Cast iron heats slowly and needs a long preheat
  • Dishwasher cycles dull the enamel over time; hand washing is safer
  • Fry pan has no lid of its own

Questions and answers

Is this set worth it over buying the pieces separately?
Usually yes. A 5.5-quart Staub cocotte alone often costs close to the set price, so the fry pan comes nearly free. Compare against the current best price before deciding.
Does the cocotte work on induction?
Yes. Staub's enameled cast iron base is induction ready and also works on gas, electric and halogen.
Can I put the cocotte in the oven?
Yes, up to 900°F without the lid. The lid and its metal knob have a lower limit, so check the knob rating before high-heat baking.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Staub lists it as dishwasher safe, but repeated cycles dull the enamel. Most owners hand wash and use a little baking soda for stains.
What is in the box?
A 5.5-quart cocotte with lid and a 10-inch fry pan. The fry pan does not come with its own lid.
When is the price lowest?
Staub sets tend to drop during fall and holiday sales and around Black Friday. Watch the price history rather than buying at full list.
