Staub - Cast Iron 13.25-qt Round Cocotte - Black Matte

Feed a crowd with the 13.25 Qt. cocotte! I love this size and I love this shape especially for roasting chickens or baking a boule of sourdough bread. You have enough room to add your vegetables in with the chicken, which is a huge plus. For baking bread the cast iron is perfect because it conducts heat so well, and retains the heat. The spikes under the lid collect moisture and self-baste whatever dish you are baking or roasting in the oven, all while it is cooking, so almost like you have an extra hand! You get to take all the credit though! Bread does come out perfect when baked in a staub and your chickens will come out juicy and golden brown.

We pull this out for big cooking! The heat capability of the pan is amazing - heats up quickly and evenly, also stays hot for hours. It has self-basting spikes on the interior of the lid which collect and return all moisture back into dish - nothing dries out and the food stays moist. You can use this as a fry pan too. The searing capability of the pan is amazing. Also, the high walls prevent grease from getting on the stove top.

This pot will be able to cook enough for a large crowd in one go! I love making a large pot of chili in this pot during the Superbowl and it is great that as soon as you heat it up, it will stay hot for a long time due to the cast iron. Clean up is easy too because the enameled cast iron doesn't require special care like normal cast iron.

Bougtht this as a special serving "bowl" for big groups. I ended up making a great pot of chili for Bunco last year in the pan and next thing I knew everyone wanted to borrow it! I sent everyone the link so they could pick a color other than my Graphite grey!

Huge size for feeding large amounts of people! This awesome holiday time piece can fit all you need serve multiple people. No more worrying about needing to do the same recipe twice in two separate dishes! This cocotte will cooks beautifully while the self basting lid will keep your food nice and juicy!
