"Cocotte" in French means "casserole," but there are plenty of dishes that emerge delectably from this cast-iron French oven. Staub celebrates one of the most traditional French recipes - coq au vin, or chicken in wine - with a special version of its classic 6-quart cocotte. Available in an array of rich colors, this piece comes topped by a gracefully sculpted, stainless-steel rooster - the "coq." Although the cocotte cooks up a perfect coq au vin, it's also an ideal choice for slow-cooked stews and soups, casseroles, and roasted chicken, as well as many other one-pot meals. Measuring 15 inches in length, the cocotte is constructed of durable cast iron with a black matte enameled interior and an enameled ceramic finish that extends to the pot and lid edges to prevent chipping. Designed for oven or stovetop use, the cocotte features a smooth, heavy base that will never warp and can handle any cooking surface, including glass, induction, and convection. As with the pot itself, the handles and lid are cast iron for durability. The lid features self-basting spikes to continually redistribute juices back to the ingredients as they cook. The cast-iron cocotte doesn't need seasoning and, as cooking oils seep into the pores over time, will become self-seasoning. Oven-safe to 500°, Staub's Coq au Vin doesn't need high heat and so should be used on low to medium settings. For best care, use with silicone or wooden utensils and wash by hand with non-abrasive cleaners. The cocotte comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Made in France.
