Editorial Review:
Amazon.com ReviewAn inspired fusion of old and new, function and style, Staub's La Cocotte French ovens are destined to be lifelong members of any kitchen. Guests will certainly relish the treasures they find simmering inside this showpiece 6-quart bouillabaisse pot. The vessel's deep marine glow and swimming fish finial are a befitting presentation for the traditional seafood treat--or any fish course from Thai curry shrimp soup to New Orleans crawfish gumbo. Simply serve with regional bread or rice and ooh la la! Crafted of enameled cast iron for uniform warming and superior heat retention, the heavyweight cocotte performs best at low to medium temperatures over longer time periods so flavors intensify and foods stay scrumptiously moist. The interior features a black matte finish that is almost indestructible and doesn't need seasoning; rather, the oils produced in cooking seep into the surface pores to create an organic nonstick coating. The rougher matte also browns, braises, and reduces better than a shiny polished glaze.
In a clever use of modern technology, the cocotte's tight-fitting lid is studded with computer-designed spikes that catch and release steam to self-baste the entire surface of the meal throughout cooking. The solid stainless-steel finial holds a secret, too-not only is it surprisingly easy to lift and hold, it is oven-safe to 600 degrees F so it's just as hardworking as it is handsome. Cast in a single-use sand mold, every cocotte has its own subtle variations to make it truly unique, and the Staub name is molded into the slim side handles to supply a fun rustic touch. The double-coated enamel resists chips and rust, and the smooth bottom is suitable for any cooking or dining surface. The cocotte goes safely into the dishwasher, though hand washing is recommended for heavy use, and it's backed by a lifetime limited warranty. --Kara Karll
