The 5.5-quart round cocotte is Staub's everyday size: big enough for a whole chicken or a pot of stew for four to six, compact enough for the stovetop every day. Its textured black matte interior sears and browns beautifully, and the heavy, spiked lid bastes food as it cooks, so braises come out tender and juicy.
Why cooks choose it
Self-basting lid. Small spikes under the heavy, tight-fitting lid drip condensation evenly back onto the food.
Black matte interior. Its textured enamel browns well, needs no seasoning and won't react with acidic foods. With use, cooking oils build a smooth, naturally non-stick surface.
Stovetop to oven to table. It works on every heat source, including induction, goes in the oven to 500°F and serves straight at the table.
Each piece is unique. Every Staub is cast in a single-use sand mold in France, so small variations in the enamel are part of its character, not defects.
