Vitamines — Staub

The Vitamines collection by Staub brings together enamelled cast-iron cocottes in vivid colours — cherry red, basil green, grenadine red. A family of cocottes made in France according to the historic know-how of the Alsace-based house.

The specificity of the Vitamines collection

Vitamines takes Staub's iconic cocottes and applies a palette of vivid shades drawn from the food world (fruits, herbs, vegetables). Production follows the traditional Staub process: enamelled cast iron made in France, from a high-carbon iron alloy.

• Enamelled cast iron made in France according to the traditional Staub process
• Signature colours of the range: cherry red, basil green, grenadine red
• Coordinated formats: 26 and 30 cm round cocotte, 31 cm oval cocotte

Choosing within the Vitamines collection

Why is the Vitamines collection distinctive?

It is one of Staub's emblematic colour ranges: the brand's iconic cocottes in a "fruits and vegetables" palette. Staub enamelled cast iron is recognised for the spikes inside the lid, which encourage condensation and continuous self-basting of food during cooking.

Which format to choose for how many guests?

The 26 cm round cocotte is the reference format for 4-5 people: it covers most everyday simmered recipes. The 30 cm is dedicated to families of 5-7 people and large sharing dishes. The 31 cm oval cocotte is designed for long pieces to roast or braise: whole poultry, leg of lamb, beef roast, whole fish.

Round or oval: what is the difference in use?

The round cocotte is versatile and covers most simmered dishes (bourguignon, blanquette, stews). The oval cocotte, longer than wide, is designed to fit the shape of whole meats and fish: it avoids interrupting cooking by folding the piece and maintains even basting.

How to care for an enamelled cast-iron Staub cocotte?

Staub enamel cleans with lukewarm water and a mild product. Avoid thermal shock (cold water on a hot cocotte) and sharp metal utensils inside. The dishwasher is technically supported, but Staub recommends hand washing to preserve the enamel's shine over time.
