The clever designers at Staub have combined some of their favourite pieces in this ingenious stackable set.
Starting with the original cocotte they have added a smooth-surface frypan and a deep braiser plus a 24cm universal lid. This is a true heritage collection to use for a lifetime and then pass onto the next generation of cooks.
The special lids lock in moisture, ensuring that the food is basted evenly and continuously to create the most delicious dishes. During cooking, these nodules collect moisture that drips back evenly into the food, giving a deliciously, succulent result, intensifying flavours and retaining the aromas and vitamins within the food. The Staub self-basting system in the lid is 9 times more effective than conventional lids.Â
The STAUB cocotte combines traditional craftsmanship with modern functionality for unique enjoyment.
Thanks to its material – cast iron which is ideal for low-heat cooking,  – the Cocotte – Dutch oven retains heat or cold for a very long time and offers an equal heat distribution eliminating hot spots. The smooth bottom is suitable for use on any cooking surface, (including induction) without scratching the surface of your cooktop. Staub is perfect for cooking professionals, cordon bleu chefs and the curious home cook who wants to discover the benefits of healthy and tasty cooking. Â
All Staub pieces are suitable for use from oven to table, making a lovely presentation showpiece to impress family and friends. Staub Cast Iron cookware is made in France using a sand mould that is destroyed after each piece is made, meaning every Staub piece is totally unique.
