STAUB’s new Cherry Blossom colourway is available now online in STAUB’s most popular 24cm size, perfect for all kinds of dishes from hearty casseroles and stews to mouth-watering crumbles and bakes. A 10cm mini version and 20cm, 26cm and 28cm diameter Cocottes will also be available online in the coming weeks. The five round sizes ensure that all tastes are catered for, with a mini Cocotte for individual portions or side dishes alongside small, medium and large Cocottes for midweek family meals to weekend suppers and special occasions. The Cocottes are made from enamelled cast iron so they are exceptionally durable and hardwearing and can be taken straight from oven or hob to table, creating a beautiful table setting that looks as good as the food tastes. STAUB’s premium cookware lasts a lifetime, making it a great investment as well as an ideal gift for Christmas and for those setting up home or getting married.
For only about ten to fourteen days each year, the cherry blossom tree blooms in a magnificent shade of pink. STAUB’s new Cherry Blossom colourway means this beautiful rosé hue can be enjoyed all year round to add a pop of pastel to kitchens and dining tables. Pastels are big news in interiors right now and they are especially favoured as they complement all kinds of existing colour schemes and kitchen décors, from classic to contemporary. It’s a palette that sits well in neutral settings as well as wood and white for a Scandi or “Japandi” (a hybrid of Scandinavian and Japanese trends) look and feel. The new colourway also works in harmony with STAUB’s new Sage and White Truffle cast iron and ceramic cookware and tableware, allowing cooks to mix and match to create a beautiful tablescape this winter and beyond. These stunning colourways are also ideal for displaying on open shelving or in a glass-fronted dresser for maximum impact.
STAUB’s cast iron Cocottes are a must-have for budding home chefs and frequent dinner party hosts thanks to their unique flat-shaped lid, which features a teardrop structure on the underside. This allows food to be constantly moistened during cooking, as ‘aroma rain’ is created thanks to the condensation created. Flavours are intensified while meals remain succulent and tender. There are no unexpected hot spots and a dish can be transferred from oven or hob to table without any loss of heat. Perfect for everything from slow-cooked suppers to vitamin-packed casseroles, soups and stews, these Cocottes can also be used to cook bread, desserts and so much more. They can be used as a casserole, a roasting pan, baking dish and cooking pot all in one and can be used on all heat sources and fuel types, including induction hobs. What’s more, the Cocottes are heat-resistant up to 240°C and can be used in the freezer, as they’re resistant to -20°C.
The very first cast iron Cocotte designed by Francis Staub was made in the Alsace region in 1974 and the company has since gone on to become the cookware brand of choice for professional cooks and celebrity chefs alike, with culinary giants such as Claude Bosi opting for the unique features that the STAUB name can offer. Its cookware is used by almost half of all Michelin starred chefs in France so it’s easy to see why STAUB is so highly sought after, in both the professional kitchen and at home.
