Cast Iron Diamond Casserole

Made in France, the Staub casserole (Cocotte or Dutch oven) is unsurpassed for slow-cooking stews and soups, braising large cuts of meats, roasting, baking, and even making bread, then it goes straight to the table to serve all the deliciousness in style. Meat and fish stay juicy, vegetables become particularly tender and all the aromas are retained in the flavourful sauce. Cast iron possesses the best cooking characteristics and the innovative lid collects the condensed liquid and evenly releases it back onto the food, yielding moist, mouthwatering results.   Shaped like a diamond, with a sparkly knob that repeats the design, it is a real eye-catcher on the dining table. Textured black matte enamel interior requires no seasoning and ensures exceptional browning, heat retention and distribution. Heavy weight, tight-fitting lid retains moisture, spikes on the lid create a rain-forest effect evenly returning juices back onto food. Suitable for all types of hobs, including induction, and oven-safe up to 240°C. Serves 2-4 people.
