Staub Cookware Collection

Staub Cocottes & Dutch Ovens

Whip up your favorite dishes in a Staub cocotte. Made of cast iron and coated in enamel, this type of French cast iron cookware braises, roasts, simmers and carmelizes—and cleans off easily in the sink or dishwasher. Whether you're trying a new Dutch baby recipe for breakfast or making a hearty stew for dinner, Staub Dutch ovens cook food to perfection. Even better? Thanks to their eye-catching enameled exteriors, Staub cocottes function as serveware, too, so you can bring your dishes from the oven directly to the table. Just be sure to set a trivet down to protect your furniture from the heat.

Types of Staub Dutch Ovens

If you're in the market for a Staub Dutch oven, French oven or cocotte, you may be wondering about the difference between these three terms. While Staub French ovens, or cocottes, look nearly identical to Dutch ovens on the outside, French ovens have an enameled interior while the inside of a Dutch oven leaves the base cast iron exposed. Not sure which size of French oven works best for you? If you're cooking dinners for one or two, go with a 4-quart Staub cocotte. When you're preparing meals for a crowd, a large size like a 7-quart Dutch oven ensures hefty portions. Round Staub cocottes provide even heat distribution on burners for soups and stews, while oval shapes better fit whole chickens and other cuts of meat in the oven. After you've found the right shape and size, find a color that complements your kitchen. French ovens in timeless black or white enamel finishes integrate well with any cookware, while bright colors like reds, blues and greens provide an accent on the stove or tabletop. Cooking for the holidays? Try a pumpkin Staub cocotte for a seasonal touch during Friendsgiving parties, or add a mix of red and green ones to the tablescape during the Christmas feast. For dessert, serve up individual crème brûlées in mini Staub cocottes and garnish with a few fresh berries.
