Product Information
Full details
The Staub La Cocotte 17 cm oval cocotte is designed for home cooks who appreciate culinary craftsmanship and aesthetic charm. It is an ideal vessel for searing meats and slow-cooking smaller portions of fish or vegetables, offering the benefit of superior heat retention and a unique pig-shaped lid that serves as a conversation piece. A potential caveat for prospective buyers is its 1-litre capacity, which limits its utility to individual servings or side dishes rather than large family meals.

FAQs
Is the Staub La Cocotte dishwasher safe?
While technically dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish and longevity of the enamel.
Can I use this on an induction cooktop?
Yes, the cast iron base is fully compatible with induction hobs.
Does the pig-shaped handle get hot?
Yes, as the lid is made of cast iron, the handle will become hot during cooking. Always use oven mitts.
Does the interior need to be seasoned?
No, the matt black enamel interior does not require seasoning like traditional cast iron.
What is the maximum oven temperature?
Staub cocottes are typically oven-safe up to 250°C (482°F).
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the bottom
Ensure the cocotte is properly preheated before adding ingredients and use a small amount of oil or fat.
Discoloration on the enamel
Use a mixture of water and baking soda to gently scrub the affected area or use a dedicated enamel cleaner.
Stubborn burnt-on food
Soak the cocotte in warm soapy water for several hours before gently scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, wash the cocotte in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. It is compatible with all heat sources, including gas, electric, glass-ceramic, and induction hobs. While the cocotte is oven-safe at high temperatures, ensure the heat is increased gradually to prevent thermal shock. When cooking, always use wooden or silicone utensils to avoid scratching the enamel surface. After cooking, let the vessel cool down naturally before washing. Hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the enamel coating, and it should be dried immediately to prevent any moisture buildup.
