Staub Oval Cocotte / Basil

Made in France, Staubcookware is loved byprofessional chefsand home cooks alike. This cocotte is madeof thick cast iron ‘ a hard-wearing material capable of retaining high levels of heat,which allows for excellent browning and steam retention. Cast iron is also very versatile, suitable for all hobs including induction, the oven, and the barbecue.Unlike traditional cast iron pans, which require regular seasoning and maintenance, Staub cast iron cookware is enamelled, meaning no additional care is needed ‘ you can use regular washing-up liquid to clean it.The enamel has been sprayed on in three layers rather than bonded, which makes itmoredurable than other enamelled cast iron pans, and it has a slightly textured finish. Translation: better, moreconsistent browningand easier clean-up.The patented lidhas bumps that collect condensation and make it ‘rain’ back into your food,creating a self-basting effect that retains moisture exceptionally well.Designed to be passed down generations,this cocotte can withstand decades or more of heavy use.The oval shape is ideal forroasting meat or poultry, as well as for baking loaves of bread.
