I have admired this cocotte for a long time, and was so happy to finally get one. The fall is my favorite season, and I love bringing this out as soon as the leaves start falling off the trees. It's a great size for storing Halloween candy as well as serving up some pumpkin bisque, my family's favorite. I get so many compliments on it, and I am impressed with how well made it is. Doesn't hurt that it is actually made in France.
I love this pot. Well its way more than a pot. It ads a bit of fall flair to my decor. I can cook in it and I can serve in it. It will definitely be on my Thanksgiving table this year. I love Staub and all the benefits of enamel coated cast iron but this piece is a work of art. Every detail is thought of to make it look like a true pumpkin and not a cartoon.
I have this pumpkin cocotte in the burnt orange and I love it. It is a collector's piece that I bring out each Fall and keep on the stove. I bought one for my daughter in white and she leave it out on the stove year round and always looks great in her kitchen. People often ask, well what do you make in it, you make anything in it you would make in a round cocotte! I make jam in this, bread pudding, beans, rice dishes, you name it!
This 3.5 qt cocotte is an heirloom beauty but it's function is equally as impressive. It's perfect for stews, soups, and slow cooking. I love to keep mine on top of my range so I can enjoy the details, down to the brass knob. This is dishwasher safe, but I prefer to hand wash my cocotte.
This has to be the cutest Staub collectable piece, and its fully functional. The interior has the famous Staub black matte finish so you pan fry in it. The cocotte heats up evenly and holds heat for hours. I use it to make soup and stews. And its always on our table in the fall as a decorative piece.
I love bringing this pot out for Halloween parties and my Thanksgiving table! I have made a great butternut squash soup and I have heated up the pot to keep the soup warm while on it's on the table or buffet. The orange is a beautiful puts me right into the fall spirit!
