Staub Enameled Cast Iron Pumpkin Cocotte, 3.5-Qt

Summary

Celebrate the fall harvest with a collectible kitchen-to-table cocotte in the natural shape of a pumpkin. Cast iron's unparalleled ability to retain heat makes this piece a great choice for slow-cooking the season's signature soups, stews, pot roasts and braises. As practical as it is beautiful, the cocotte features Staub's innovative enamel coating for superior performance, style and durability.

• Glossy multicoat enameling ensures strength and heat resistance – and creates a vibrantly colored "majolique" finish.
• Enamel coating resists rust, chipping and cracking and requires no additional seasoning.
• Black matte interior enamel contains traces of quartz to provide additional heat resistance and a textured surface that improves browning.
