Preferred by some of the world's greatest chefs, French-made Staub cookware is renowned for its superior heat retention and oven-to-table good looks. Made of enameled cast iron, this round covered pot cooks evenly and efficiently and has an attractive enamel coating in basil green that resists chipping. Its signature matte-black enamel interior excels at braising, roasting and caramelizing, and is scratch resistant and easy to clean. The round cocotte is ideal for cooking fish, braising and browning meats and preparing soups and stews. To ensure moist and flavorful results, the spiked lid is designed to create a rain-forest effect that returns juices back on the food, providing continuous, natural basting. View all Staub products.
