> 30cm cocotte

Our > 30 cm cocotte section includes large-capacity cast-iron cocottes, designed for generous slow-cooked dishes, whole poultry and serving at large tables. These models suit both home cooks and catering professionals looking for sturdy cast iron that supports slow, even cooking. This size complements the other formats in our Dutch oven range, itself part of the Cookware range.

Choosing a cocotte over 30 cm

Which uses suit this large format?

A cocotte over 30 cm offers a volume suited to dishes for 6 to 8 guests or more: stews, braised beef, blanquette or multi-piece roasts. The large base lets you sear a substantial amount of meat before slow cooking, without overcrowding the cocotte. It is a format built for sharing and for the pace of a service.

What compatibility and care should you expect?

Enamelled cast iron works on all hobs, including induction, and is oven-safe. On this large diameter, make sure your heat source covers enough of the base for an even rise in temperature. Care stays simple: hand washing, careful drying and a cocotte that develops a patina over the years. The models in this section come from Staub.

If this diameter is too large for your needs, explore the 20 to 30 cm or under 20 cm formats, as well as the round and oval versions of our Dutch oven range. Browse all large cast-iron cocottes on AZ Boutique.
