Single pan Staub Cocotte 40509-471

The Staub Cocotte Single Pan (model 40509-471) is a compact cast-iron cookware item designed for versatile use in home and professional kitchens. With a 12 cm diameter, durable enamelled black finish and 1.2 kg weight, it provides excellent heat retention and even cooking across all heat sources, including induction.

Advantages

The pan’s cast‑iron construction ensures long-lasting heat retention and uniform temperature distribution. Its self-basting lid with internal spikes collects condensation and returns evenly distributed moisture to the food, preserving flavours and nutrients. The enamelled black exterior resists wear and is easy to maintain while fitting a range of cooking styles such as sautéing, frying and simmering.

Suitable for

• Sautéing small portions
• Frying single servings
• Simmering sauces and reductions
• Finishing dishes on induction and gas hobs

How to use

Preheat the pan gradually on the chosen heat source to allow the cast iron to warm evenly. Use a small amount of oil or fat for sautéing or frying and moderate heat for simmering. Place the lid to benefit from the self-basting effect: condensation collects on the lid spikes and drips evenly back onto the food to maintain moisture and concentrate flavour. Avoid rapid temperature shocks to protect the enamel.

Recommendations

For best results, avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the enamel surface and clean the pan with warm water and a soft brush or sponge. Dry thoroughly before storage. The cocotte is suitable for oven use—observe manufacturer temperature limits—and works well for small braises, reductions and single-portion preparations.
