A cocotte (pronounced /kôˇkôt/) is the French word for a Dutch oven—a heavy-duty cast-iron pot perfect for braising, roasting, baking, one-pot meals, and more. STAUB cocottes have been handcrafted in France since 1974, engineered for long-lasting performance and durability. Because everything tastes better when it’s cooked—and served—in STAUB!
