Fall is officially here, and this Staub Pumpkin Cocotte is the perfect way to celebrate
Fall is officially here, and to celebrate its arrival, it’s time to pull out the pumpkins. That means carving pumpkins for your porch, drinking pumpkin spice lattes, baking pumpkin bread, cooking pumpkin soup and going all out with the pumpkin decorations. To that end, this festive Staub Pumpkin-Shaped Cocotte is the perfect addition to your kitchen this fall.
A cocotte is very similar to a dutch oven, but it’s a little smaller in size. Not only can these pots be used for roasting meat, but you can also pull them out for cooking soup, ramen, chili, pasta or even baking bread. So, if you’re looking to invest in a new fall-themed kitchen piece, here’s why we love this pumpkin-shaped cocotte.
Staub Pumpkin-Shaped Cocotte, $186.94
Resembling one of fall’s most iconic items, this pumpkin-shaped pot has gone viral on TikTok. Its 3.5-quart capacity means it’s small enough to cook for one but large enough to feed multiple people. It’s available in multiple colors; we love the vibrant orange color, but you can also choose between a darker burnt orange or white color. Plus, the elegant pumpkin design makes it a great statement piece for your kitchen no matter which color you choose.
Made of enameled cast iron, this oval-shaped pot has a stainless steel lid handle and grooves all around to mimic the shape of a pumpkin. At 11.3 inches in width, 5.7 inches in height and 12.32 pounds in weight, this pot is heavy and sturdy. The lid retains moisture, so your food will never be served dry, and the textured black enamel on the inside of the pot requires no seasoning and makes browning food easy.
Even with its pumpkin shape, this pot distributes heat evenly for a superior cooking experience. It’s great for cooking fall soups like lasagna soup and pumpkin soup, or for baking a pumpkin-shaped loaf of sourdough bread. You can also use it to make dishes like pot roast, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. This pot is oven safe up to 500°F, and it has easy-to-grip handles for easy transportation in and out of the oven. When it’s time for cleanup, the pot can either be hand-washed with soap and water or placed in the dishwasher.
The Staub pumpkin-shaped cast iron cocotte has hundreds of five-star ratings on Amazon, and it’s currently the “it” kitchen item according to TikTok. One Amazon reviewer describes it as “the best cookware item I’ve ever purchased, and it’s beautiful,” while another says, “I almost don’t want to cook with it because it’s just too beautiful! But alas, I believe some fall chili will be made in it.”
So, whether you’re a cooking connoisseur or a baking beginner, the Staub pumpkin cocotte is the perfect vessel for whipping up all your favorite fall recipes. And while this pot is normally priced around $230, it’s on sale for 19% off right now, so get it before the season ends!
