Staub La Cocotte Round Cast-Iron Cocotte 20 cm (Truffle White)

Description

Two people, 2.2 litres: the Staub round cocotte, 20 cm, has just the right capacity for cooking as a couple: a jointed chicken in wine, some beef cheeks, a mushroom ragù or a pumpkin soup.

What sets it apart from an ordinary casserole is the lid. On the inside there are small raised spikes: the steam that rises as you cook condenses on them and falls back in droplets spread over the food. This continuous basting keeps meat juicy and means you don’t have to lift the lid to add stock. Because the lid fits snugly and is heavy, hardly any moisture escapes, so long-simmered dishes need less liquid and develop more flavour.

For two, it is also the most manageable size: it moves easily around the kitchen and fits in any cupboard. It comes from a French foundry, in enamelled cast iron.

It is suitable for induction and all other hobs, the oven and the dishwasher.

Dimensions: 20 cm diameter, 2.2 litres, 9.5 cm high without the lid and 14.2 cm with the lid, 16.1 cm base and 26.3 cm long including the handles.
