A 23cm cast iron pot made in France, the black LA COCOTTE. - Brand: STAUB - Model Name: LA COCOTTE - Size: 23cm - Country of Manufacture: France - Material: Cast iron - Color: Black Used a few times. STAUB's La Cocotte Oval is made of cast iron, which provides excellent heat conductivity and allows for even heating. It's perfect for bringing out the flavor of your dishes. This size is very convenient for cooking whole chickens or making large quantities of food. The oval shape saves space during storage, and unlike round pots, it's stable when the lid is removed. Due to changes in my living situation, I'm passing it on to someone who enjoys cooking. There are some stains on the handles, but the inside is clean, so I think it's a great deal for those who don't mind!
