The Staub Ceramic Tomato Cocotte was created following the resounding success of the Staub Pumpkin (Cannot be used on stovetops, including electric stoves). Please note that this item is a baking dish and cannot be used on stovetop, the cocotte will be broken if used on stovetop.

It is both a festive and functional addition to your stoneware collection. Its porcelain finish and exceptional quality make it the perfect vessel for preparing a wide variety of casseroles, and baked dishes, and makes an elegant and memorable serving piece.
