This beautiful graphite grey 0.5 qt cocotte has so many wonderful uses. Great for single serve dishes, or a side for two. Even use it as a serving dish for dips! It is a piece that will keep your hot stuff hot and cold stuff cold with its' awesome heat rentention.
These 16-oz cocottes are a good for everyone. Make ahead meals can be portioned out and heated as needed, so everyone in the family gets a hot meal.
The best thing - whether they are big or small, they all roast, boil, bake, fry, braise and simmer to the highest possible standards. The workmanship and the quality of the cast iron ensure that the heat is directed to the food. The fine enamel finish - inside and out - make for attractive presentation at the table, and easy clean up afterwards.
I seem to grab these little cocottes for everything. Our latest favorite is individual lobster mac and cheeses. The heat capability of the pan is amazing - heats up quickly and evenly holds heat for hours. I love the crust the black matte finish creates on anything we cook.
I live alone so this is the perfect size for making smaller casserole portions. Cooks beautifully in oven and food always comes out perfectly. I have several Staub cookware pieces and this is one of my favorites. Also good for warming up leftovers in oven
It's a mini but not the other mini. .5 quarts vs. .25 quarts. Still works for individual serving such as french onion soup. Good for a hot dip since the cast iron retains it's heat or can be chilled and used for a cold dip. Either way it looks classy!
This Staub cast iron .5qt. cocotte is wonderful, fun and exciting. This size is great for single-serve soup, gratin, cake, bread, pot pie, and great for strawberry dipping, salsa and I love spinach artichoke cheese dip. This cast iron cocotte size is perfect, possesses exceptional heat-retaining qualities, so the pot heats evenly throughout, and it is light for being small. The innovative lid features tiny spikes on the interior that continually release condensed liquid back onto the food, yielding moist, flavorful results. It is dishwasher safe and oven safe. Smooth enamel bottom works on all stovetops, including gas, electric, glass, ceramic, induction, and halogen. These heirloom pieces can be passed from generation to generation. Handwashing is recommended.
