Overview
Enameled cast iron and a close lid do the work in the Staub La Cocotte de Gohan, a small round pot made for cooking rice on the stove. It goes on induction or gas and into the oven, with a nickel plated steel knob on top.
Stovetop rice in an iron pot is the reason to buy, and it handles small portions well. Capacity suits small households, and the gallon figure in the listing does not match its liter figure.
Who it's for
Cooks who make rice in small batches on a burner fit here, and the pot can move into the oven too. Families cooking large batches should look at a bigger pot.
Pros and cons
- Enameled cast iron body
- Induction, gas and oven use
- Made in France
- Nickel plated steel knob
- Heavy for its small capacity
- Capacity listed in conflicting units
- Small batches only
Performance notes
Cast iron absorbs heat and releases it evenly, which steadies the simmer once the burner is turned down. The enamel covers the iron and forms the cooking surface. The lid holds steam in, which finishes the rice after the water is absorbed.
