Preferred by some of the world's greatest chefs, French-made Staub cookware is renowned for its superior heat retention and oven-to-table good looks. Made of enameled cast iron, this cocotte cooks evenly and efficiently and has a creamy white enamel coating that resists chipping. Its signature black enamel interior excels at braising, roasting and caramelizing, and is scratch resistant and easy to clean. The tall round Dutch oven is ideal for braising and browning meats or preparing chicken korma, asparagus risotto and jambalaya for the whole household. To ensure moist and flavorful results, the spiked lid creates a rain-forest effect that returns juices back on the food, providing continuous, natural basting.Staub's signature cast iron cookware has been crafted in France for over 40 years.
