Staub Ceramique 5qt High Round Cocotte 40501-485* Staub

Like all STAUB Cocottes, the High Cocotte is made of enamelled cast iron, combining the advantages of cast-iron cookware with the benefits of high-quality enamel glaze: They are extremely durable and offer very even heat distribution. The special structure of the lid makes sure all moisture is dropped back on the food for best results. The High Cocotte is 3cm higher than the classic Cocotte, resulting in an added volume of 1 litre. This means you can cook larger quantities on a small burner, making sure all the surface of your Cocotte has contact with the hob for optimum energy efficiency. The slim form makes it easier to store in an average-size kitchen cupboard. With its added height, this Cocotte is especially well suited for deep-frying or searing food, protecting the cook and the kitchen from splattering hot oil. To make full use of the advantages of this Cocotte, try it for this kind of usages: • recipes that require additional space, such as meat with bones like a roast crown of lamb, or stuffed bell pepper. • Prepare first your sauce, add your pasta al dente and serve warm for a long time • Frying avoiding splattering oil all around on your cooking desk
