Dutch Ovens - The 7-Qt. Staub Wide Oval Cocotte features elegant enameled cast-iron and a self-basting system for restaurant-quality, gourmet entrees and one-pot dishes. Handcrafted in France, the Staub cast-iron cocotte prepares roast beef, pork, poultry, vegetables and more to succulent, flavorful perfection. With its superb heat distribution and retention, the Staub Dutch oven hides its secret under the lid. Rounded spikes collect and release condensation to shower juices continuously over food. The circulation of heat with juices allows ingredient flavors to maintain full intensity, while preserving nutrients. A Staub signature black matte enamel interior is superior for high-heat searing, plus braising and caramelizing. The more you cook with the oval cocotte, the better it performs, seasoning naturally with use, without maintenance. Cast in a single-use mold, the cast-iron cocotte is high-fired at 1,400 F, with 2-3 separate coats of enamel inside and out and is PTFE- and PFOA-free.
