Cast Iron French Oven

Made in France, the Staub cast iron French oven (Cocotte or casserole) is unsurpassed for slow-cooking stews and soups, braising cuts of meats, roasting, baking, and even making bread. Meat and fish stay juicy, vegetables become particularly tender, and all the aromas get retained in the flavourful sauce. Cast iron possesses the best cooking characteristics, and the domed Chistera lid boasts drop-shaped spikes that collect moisture to provide continuous basting for succulent results.   Cast iron provides perfect heat retention and distribution and keeps the food hot or cold for a long time. The textured black matte enamel coating requires no seasoning and develops delightful roasting aromas, infusing dishes with a concentrated sauce. Tight-fitting domed Chistera lid promotes continual self-basting for tender, flavourful results. Multicoat enameling creates a glossy "majolica" finish that resembles fine ceramics & enables seamless oven-to-table presentation. Suitable for all types of hobs, including induction.
