[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for sautéing, baking or even warming up leftover food. I put cacao nibs on top of chocolate brownies and baked them in this pot in a countertop oven. When I took the lid off the pot, flavorful steam came from the brownies and they were moist and delicious. You can also use it to make little side dishes like sautéed green beans, steamed broccoli or a corn on the cob.
I love all the Staub cocottes but this small oval is my new favorite. The natural properties of cast iron heat it evenly and hold the heat. The enamel coating means no seasoning and so much easier to clean. The matte interior gives superior browning and an easy release. The spikes on the underside of the lid redistribute moisture while cooking keeping everything nice and juicy. Its great on the stovetop and in the oven.
Great for side dishes for a crowd, or for smaller servings for one with leftovers. It is a great size for chili, stews, beans, mac 'n cheese, and the leftovers can be stored right in the cocotte in the fridge, then straight to the stove or oven to heat up the leftovers! Compatable with all heat sources as well!
They say good things come in small packages and this is a good example! Perfect for smaller side dishes or for 1-2 people. You can virtually cook anything in these - heat chicken, potatoes, make 1 pot meals, rice and pastas. The moisture stays locked in, due to the spikes or dots on the lids. So nothing is dried out when serving!
I love this oval cocotte! It is great for pastas, braising meats, vegetables, or other single or two serve dishes! Depending on how much you eat. The grey is a beautiful color and something that can be used year round.
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.
Love the shape and size of this cocotte. The 4 cup capacity is perfect for sides and smaller batches of stew. It is everything you would expect from a Staub. The innovative black matte interior will self season over time and will resist food from sticking to the bottom. Heats evenly and stays consistent throughout the cooking process. The tight fitting lid with the dimples aids in continuous flow of moisture.
