Mua Staub Cast Iron Cocotte với núm gà trống

The oval shape actually fits a whole chicken better than my old round pot, and the basil enamel is gorgeous on the table. That little rooster knob makes me smile every time I lift the lid.

I've been braising short ribs in this for a few weeks now and the heat distribution is remarkably even, no scorching on the bottom at all. The oval shape actually fits a whole chicken better than my old round pot, and cleanup has been easier than I expected for cast iron.

The rooster knob is such a fun touch, and it's easy to grab even with oven mitts on. I've done coq au vin and a whole roasted chicken in it, and the oval shape handles a bird way better than my old round pot.
