Staub La Cocotte Cast Iron Round Casserole Basil Green, 26cm

Made in France, the STAUB La Cocotte Round Cast Iron Casserole lets you cook and serve in one pot. Brown a roast on the stovetop, finish it in the oven, and bring it straight to the table. It’s equally suited to slow-cooked stews, hearty soups, and crusty homemade bread.

• The 26 cm round cocotte has a 5.25 L capacity, making it ideal for meals for 4–6 people.
• Enameled cast iron distributes heat evenly and retains it well for steady simmering.
• The textured matte enamel interior promotes browning, resists scratches, and requires no seasoning.
• The tight-fitting, self-basting lid helps retain moisture during cooking.
• The smooth enameled base works on all stovetops, including induction, and the cocotte is oven-safe up to 260°C.

The benefits of enameled cast iron
Cast iron holds heat well, so you can maintain a gentle simmer over low heat and keep food warm longer at the table. It also retains cold, so you can chill the cocotte before serving cold dishes to help keep them cool.

How the self-basting lid works
As steam condenses on the underside of the lid, small spikes guide the droplets back over the food. This continuous basting helps keep meat juicy and vegetables tender as they cook.

Use Directions:

• Before using the casserole for the first time, rinse it with hot water and let it dry.
• Brush a little vegetable oil over the inside surfaces, heat it for one minute, and then remove the excess oil with kitchen paper.
• Although cast iron is known to sustain very high temperatures, we recommend you gradually increase the heat from low to medium to high to avoid thermal shocks and damage to the surface of the cast iron.
• Select a stovetop that appropriately corresponds to the base size of your casserole.
• When using induction stovetops and glass-ceramic surfaces, always lift your casserole rather than pushing it to avoid damage to the cooking surface.
• Use silicone or wooden cooking utensils to avoid scratching the casserole's enamel surface.
• The casserole can be used as ovenware up to 260°C.
• The casserole is not suitable for microwave use.
• Never put a hot casserole on an unprotected surface.
• Suitable for all types of hobs, including induction.

Care Tips:

• Allow the casserole to cool before rinsing it with water.
• If food residues have stuck to the casserole, do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents, scouring powder, or steel sponges to remove them. Instead, soak the casserole in warm water and then remove the residues with a wash-up liquid and non-scouring sponge.
• Dry the casserole thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel and only store it away when it is completely dry.
• Though the casserole can be washed in a dishwasher, it is recommended that you clean it by hand for long-lasting and durable use.
