[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color is really gorgeous and the size is suitable. I think I can make rice for 3-4person. Highly recommended :)
Adorable little cocotte is perfect for side dishes. The pan has impressive heating capability. Heats quickly, evenly and stays hot for hours. It has self-basting spikes on the interior of the lid which collect and return all moisture back into dish so you meal doesn't dry out, even while waiting for dinner to be served.
This is an awesome smaller round cocotte. It is great for two person meals, soups, chilis, etc. The white truffle color is really pretty and goes well with any occasion.
These round cocottes come in a variety of sizes, all of which roast, boil, bake, fry, braise and simmer to the highest possible standards. Cast iron cooking has been around for millennia and there is a reason. It is the ultimate for low slow cooking. Put the pot on the fire come back hours later and the food is done.
So if you like cast iron comforting reliability of cast iron cooking then why not have a pot in every side. Cooking for 1, or 2, or 3 or 20, its all so easy in Staub's beautifully crafted pots. 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. Enjoy each size as you use them. I do.
