Staub Enameled Cast Iron Pumpkin Cocotte, 3 1/2-Qt

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. Sculptural base and lid replicate pumpkin shape, complete with "stem" handle crafted of solid brass. 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. 4" high, 6" high with lid.

Ideal for use on any cooktop, including induction; not recommended for glass stove tops. Extra-heavy lid seals in moisture for tender, flavorful results.

Oven and broiler safe up to 500°F. For best results use low to medium heat. When using high heat, bring pans slowly to a high temperature. Use plastic, wood or nylon utensils only; metal utensils may damage the enamel.

Enamel may chip or crack if banged against a hard surface. Handles and knobs can become very hot. Allow to cool before washing. Stubborn stains can be removed by soaking pot for a few minutes in hot, soapy water.

Completely dry pan before storing. Avoid using steel wool, steel scouring pads, harsh detergents, bleach or abrasive cleaners. UPS is unable to deliver to P. At Williams Sonoma, we take great pride in the quality and craftsmanship of our products.

Staub traces its origin to the Alsace region of France, where founder Francis Staub designed his first enameled pot while working in an old French artillery factory in 1974. With the goal of creating the perfect pot for cooking the region's traditional hearty soups, stews and braises, he combined cast iron, the most popular material of the time, with the latest enameling technology available.

Today, Staub still makes its cookware at a traditional atelier in France, casting each pot in an individual sand mold, which is heated to 800°F and destroyed after use. The exterior enamel coating is made with glass powder and mineral pigments, applied in two or three coats to generate brilliant glossy colors.
