Cast iron cocotte Staub 26 cm round, dark blue

The cast iron cocotte Staub 26 cm round in dark blue is a 26 cm enameled cast-iron Dutch oven designed for slow cooking, braising, roasting and simmering. Its heavy cast-iron body ensures even heat distribution and excellent heat retention, while the durable enamel finish provides a non-reactive cooking surface that simplifies cleaning and resists wear. The cocotte comes in a classic round shape with a fitted lid to trap moisture and develop rich flavors during long cooking processes.

Advantages

The Staub 26 cm cocotte provides consistent temperature control thanks to the dense cast-iron construction that holds heat evenly across the cooking surface. The enamel coating is resistant to staining and prevents interaction with acidic ingredients. The tight-fitting lid reduces moisture loss and helps maintain juiciness in meats and vegetables. The product is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, and is oven-safe, making it versatile for stovetop-to-oven recipes.

How to use

Preheat the cocotte gradually on low to medium heat to avoid thermal shock. Use the cocotte on any stovetop or transfer it to a preheated oven for finishing. For best results when searing, heat the empty cocotte briefly before adding oil and food. When braising, add liquids and a lid to trap steam and circulate moisture. Allow the cocotte to cool before washing; clean with warm water and a soft brush or sponge to protect the enamel. Avoid using metal utensils that could scratch the surface.

Recommendations

To preserve the enamel and maintain performance, avoid rapid temperature changes, use wooden or silicone utensils, and dry the cocotte thoroughly after washing. For recipes that require long, slow cooking, maintain low consistent heat and keep the lid closed most of the time to retain moisture and deepen flavors.
