STAUB40511-855 Petite Tomato Cocotte, Ceramic, Cherry

Very pretty but did not realise how small it was as the did not put the size when I was placing the order ....is for a portion !

A perfectly sized dish in which to serve salsas or sauces

These are beautiful, darling, perfect for single-serve casseroles. They are ceramic, not enameled cast-iron like the larger Staub tomato cocottes. But they are nicely detailed and just as gorgeous. The stem end is very well done. These come packed just as well as Staub's cast-iron larger pieces.We go through a lot of tomatoes during the summertime, right from our garden. So this purchase was easily justified in our budget. We like a simple casserole of sliced zucchini, yellow squash and tomatoes on a bed of sauteed onion with a bread crumb and cheese topping. These, when not filled to the top, are just right for a large one-person serving. They are a good size for other bowl food, too. Sometimes we do baked beans in one of these, and it serves two.I was surprised to stumble across these on Amazon, and at a great price, too. I usually find my Staub pieces on other online sites. But, hey, look close and you will see it is available with Prime shipping on this product page! And I was worried about how the stem knob would travel, and was happy to rely on Amazon's return policy. But the stem is not fragile and these arrived in perfect shape.I also have the tomato in the larger cast-iron piece and the three sitting together on a shelf are impressive, (even though I have the larger piece in the fabulous grenadine color).

I love Staub cocottes in general. This is an interesting novelty item that looks very festive. The workmanship is great as well, and as it is ceramic, can be used for baking in the oven. I have also bought other cocottes including the artichoke, capsicum and pumpkin. Will repurchase again!

Very cuteIt’s pretty small, so it’s good for serving side dishes for 2-3 people IMOVery adorableYou can stick it in the oven up to 572F or microwave it, but can’t use it on a stove.Dishwasher safe as wellPretty cool!

I bought this to satisfy my need for a cute summer cocotte! Love the tomato design...will use to roast garlic or tomatoes.
