How to use

To use the Staub Mini Cocotte, place it on your stovetop or inside an oven to cook your ingredients. Ensure the heat is adjusted gradually to prevent thermal shock, especially when using induction cooktops. After cooking, use heat-resistant gloves to handle the pot, as the cast iron will become very hot. The pot can be placed directly on a serving plate or trivet for an elegant presentation.
