Hrniec na dusenie Staub Cocotte 5,5 L modrý

The Staub Cocotte 5.5 L in blue is an oval cast-iron Dutch oven designed for slow cooking, roasting and baking. Its enamelled interior and heavy cast-iron construction retain and distribute heat evenly, helping preserve aromas, flavours and nutrients. With a width of 37.5 cm including handles and a height of 11.8 cm without the lid, this cocotte is suitable for serving directly from oven to table and keeps dishes warm for longer.

Advantages

The thick cast-iron body and enamel coating provide reliable heat retention and even cooking, while the matt black enamel interior helps preserve the natural flavours of food. The oval shape accommodates larger cuts of meat or casseroles, and the lid features a condensation-distribution design that returns juices to the dish, helping to keep meat tender and vegetables moist.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This heavy cast-iron cocotte is less suitable for very small portions or quick high-heat stir-fry methods that require fast temperature changes. It is also not ideal if you need a lightweight or highly portable pan for frequent transport.

Key specifications

How to use

Preheat the cocotte gradually on a low to medium heat to take advantage of the even heat distribution. Use it for browning meat, then add liquids and aromatics for slow braising or stewing. The cocotte can be used on most heat sources and finished in the oven; check your stove and oven specifications before use. After cooking, allow the dish to cool slightly before cleaning to protect the enamel surface.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use wooden or silicone utensils to protect the enamel interior, clean with warm soapy water and avoid sudden temperature shocks to prolong the life of the cast-iron cocotte.
