Staub Mini .25 Quart Round Cocotte, Graphite Grey



Staub mini cocotte - love it.
These cute little cast iron cocottes are portion perfect and completely fabulous. Great for special occasions with a fancy dessert.

Perfect little cocottes
These are great for single servings. They work just expect any Staub product to do. I especially love the way they hold heat and keep the food warm.

tiny but only $5 more than Le Creuset's stoneware ramekin
How's that for a spendthrift rationalization? I'm not purchasing this because of issues with spendthriftiness and hoarding.

I think the brass knob with the yellow is so pretty and cheerful like a little bird. It will really dress up the table and usually I don't care but I love the combination of sturdiness and tininess.

The mini cocottes sold faster than the 2 quart size. I know that some expensive restaurants are using them but I wonder what is most effectively served in them. A truly delectable glutinous rice recipe? Individual pots of melted cheese? Buy one and serve melted peanut butter at breakfast or for children's sandwiches replacing the purchase of a diablo? How about dissolving raspberry jam for a quick thin sauce to pour over aebleskiver?
