Product Overview
The STAUB 3.5-quart Pumpkin Cocotte is an enameled cast-iron Dutch oven formed in the shape of a pumpkin. This configuration uses a black exterior finish and a stainless-steel stem-style knob on the fitted lid. The vessel combines decorative seasonal styling with the cooking characteristics of heavy cast iron, including heat retention and even heat distribution.
The interior uses STAUB’s textured matte-black enamel cooking surface. The 3.5-quart capacity supports tasks such as braising, simmering soups, baking bread, preparing vegetables, and serving cooked dishes directly from the vessel. The cocotte can be used on common stovetop types, including induction, and is suitable for oven use. The cast-iron construction gives the piece substantial weight compared with stoneware or aluminum cookware. This specific black configuration is associated with product number 1024272 and UPC 872078036461. Color and capacity should be confirmed when identifying the product because STAUB produces Pumpkin Cocottes in several finishes, capacities, and seasonal variations.
