This little cocotte is quite useful. I use is to serve side dishes for dinner as well as any sauces we have. The heat capability of the pan is amazing - heats up quickly and evenly, also stays hot for hours, perfect for dinner time. I have also used it to serve hot cheese dips at football parties.
I love this pot and I love it in Matte Black. A million years ago, as a student in France, I was served a cassoulet in something just like this - an adorable black oval cast iron pot. It was a revelation. Mostly because it was so personal; my own meal. Not served family style, not perfectly plated. Just a very hearty stew made of duck and sausage and beans. There is something special about putting an individual pot in front of someone - it makes the meal that much more special. This size is good for sharing for two or cooking for one with leftovers.
And whatever you braise, roast, simmer, boil, bake in a Staub cast iron pan, you can count on to come out beautifully. The quality cast iron insures even heating and consistent cooking.
Nice oval Staub Cocotte for one pot meals or cooking a chicken in. I just add all the spices and let it cook for several hours and it comes out delicious. Also like that it's oven safe up to 500 degrees.
Small but Mighty! I live alone so this size is just perfect for me for more dishes than I can count. I use it for small pots of chili, stew for one, macaroni and cheese, i have even baked a small loaf of bread for myself. All the benefits of the larger cocottes but for a smaller household.
It's hard for a pot to be cute but this one really is. Great for cooking cereals and grains or individual portions this pot can do what ever a larger cocotte can but on a smaller scale. Imagine a small loaf of bread for two or a macaroni and cheese bake...yum!
This cute matte black oval cocotte is the ideal size for individual servings of food no matter how you use it! It will fit on the stove, you can throw it in the oven and the double handles make it easy to bring straight to the table. The natural matte black all over color looks great in any kitchen and you can rely on the cast iron to perfectly cook and brown food.
