Preferred by some of the world's greatest chefs, Staub cookware is renowned for its superior heat retention and oven-to-table good looks. Made of cast iron, this cocotte cooks evenly and efficiently and has an attractive white enamel coating that resists chipping. Its signature matte-black enamel interior excels at braising, roasting and caramelizing, and is scratch-resistant and easy to clean. The round Dutch oven is ideal for braising and browning meats or preparing soups and stews. The flat glass lid returns juices back to the food, providing continuous, natural basting while allowing you to keep an eye on dinner's progress.
