Ronde gietijzeren kasserol Staub La Cocotte 6,7 l, 28 cm diameter

This round cast-iron cocotte in grenadine from Staub's La Cocotte range is a 28 cm diameter, 18 cm high casserole with a capacity of 6.7 litres designed for slow, even cooking. The heavy cast-iron construction and matt black enamel interior support consistent heat distribution and excellent braising, preserving moisture and enhancing natural flavours. The pot is suitable for use on all cooktops and in the oven, and its enamelled surface becomes easier to use over time while offering durable, low-maintenance performance.

Advantages

The Staub La Cocotte combines heavy cast-iron heat retention with a matt black enamel interior that promotes even cooking and superior braising results. The tight-fitting lid helps preserve moisture and aroma, and the enamel finish provides consistent heat delivery across the cooking surface. The cocotte is compatible with all stove types and oven use, and its durable construction is easy to clean and becomes more effective with regular use.

Suitable for

• Slow-cooked stews, braises and casseroles
• Roasting meats and poultry
• Simmering soups and sauces
• Baking dishes in the oven and stovetop-to-oven recipes

When it may not be suitable

Due to its large size and weight, the cocotte may be less convenient for small households or for users who prefer lightweight cookware. It is not designed for single-portion cooking or for frequent transport when full.

How to use

Use the cocotte for slow braising, simmering and baking by preheating gently and maintaining moderate temperatures for even cooking.

Allow the pot to cool before cleaning and avoid rapid temperature changes to protect the enamel finish.

• Consider the weight of cast iron for handling and storage
• Verify compatibility with your cooktop and oven dimensions

Recommendations

For best results, preheat the cocotte gradually, use moderate heat settings, sear ingredients first to develop flavour, and cook covered to benefit from the pot's braising and moisture-retention properties. Hand wash gently and dry thoroughly to maintain the enamel surface.
