Product Information

Full details

The Staub La Cocotte is a premium 6.7-liter round cast iron oven designed for home cooks who prioritize durability and flavor retention in slow-cooked meals. Its standout feature is the unique self-basting lid that ensures consistent moisture distribution, making it ideal for roasts, stews, and braises. While its heavy-duty cast iron construction provides exceptional heat retention, it is a substantial piece of equipment that requires deliberate handling due to its significant weight.

FAQs

Do I need to season the Staub La Cocotte?

No. Unlike raw cast iron, the Staub La Cocotte features an enamel coating that does not require seasoning.

Is this cocotte safe for induction cooktops?

Yes, the cast iron base is fully compatible with induction hobs.

Can I put the lid in the oven?

Yes, the entire unit, including the lid, is oven safe.

Is the pot dishwasher safe?

While it is technically dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to maintain the appearance and life of the enamel.

Why are there bumps on the underside of the lid?

These are the basting spikes, designed to collect moisture and drip it back onto your food to keep it moist.

What is the maximum temperature limit for the oven?

The cocotte is generally safe for high oven temperatures, but avoid thermal shock by not moving it directly from a very cold environment to a very hot one.

Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the bottom

Ensure the cocotte is properly preheated on low to medium heat with a small amount of oil before adding food.

Discoloration on the enamel interior

Use a mixture of baking soda and water to gently scrub the affected area, or boil water with a small amount of vinegar.

Pot is difficult to clean after burning food

Fill the cocotte with warm water and a drop of dish soap, bring to a gentle simmer on the stove, then allow it to cool before cleaning with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before first use, wash the cocotte in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Although the cocotte is dishwasher safe, hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the exterior finish and longevity of the enamel. Avoid using metal utensils, as they can scratch the enamel; silicone, wood, or heat-resistant plastic tools are preferred. When cooking on glass or ceramic hobs, always lift the cocotte rather than sliding it to avoid scratching your stovetop. If food becomes stuck to the interior, soak the pot in warm water before gently scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge.
