High-quality cast iron casserole with high-gloss enamel and gradient color. Suitable for all types of cooktops, including induction. Cast iron has long been used for braising pots. Staub's special enamel enhances the already existing properties of the material: cast iron absorbs heat from the stovetop very well and retains it for a long time. The heat is then released slowly and steadily. This not only allows for gentle cooking but also keeps the food warm in the Staub cocotte. Another advantage of the enamel is that it enhances the natural flavors of the dishes. Instead of overcooking the vegetables, they remain tasty and aromatic in the Staub cocotte, while meat becomes juicy and tender. Hand washing is recommended.
