Description
xThe STAUB Ceramic 16-oz Petite Pumpkin Cocotte in burnt orange is a single-serving oven-to-table dish shaped like a pumpkin, designed for baking, serving, and presenting soups, gratins, and small casseroles.
Inspired by French cookware tradition, this petite cocotte combines decorative charm with functional ceramic performance. The double-fired porcelain-enamel finish resists scratches and thermal shock so the piece moves comfortably from freezer to oven to table. Its sculpted pumpkin silhouette and warm burnt-orange glaze add seasonal character to any place setting while matching other STAUB collections for a coordinated presentation.
How will this petite pumpkin cocotte perform in the oven and on the table?
The cocotte is engineered for practical use: its glassy porcelain finish tolerates high heat and everyday handling. You can bake, reheat, and serve in the same vessel without transferring contents, reducing cleanup and enhancing presentation.
- Safe for oven use up to 572°F (300°C).
- Double-fired porcelain enamel prevents moisture absorption during baking.
- Highly resistant to scratches, impacts, and thermal shock for reliable durability.
- Glazed interior simplifies cleaning and preserves food appearance.
What portion sizes and dishes are ideal for a 16-ounce cocotte?
The 16-oz capacity fits single servings or small shared plates, making it a versatile choice for individual gratins, soups, custards, or side vegetable dishes. Its size also works well for plated presentations at dinner parties.
- Single-serving soups, stews, or chowders.
- Individual casseroles, gratins, or mac-and-cheese portions.
- Small desserts like bread pudding, crème brûlée, or fruit crumbles.

How does the Staub Ceramic finish affect care and longevity?
Staub’s porcelain enamel is applied and fired twice at high temperatures, creating a dense, non-porous surface that resists staining and prevents moisture penetration. With routine care, the piece retains its luster and functional strength over years of use.
- Non-porous glaze reduces absorption and odor retention.
- Dishwasher use is possible, but handwashing preserves finish longer.
- Highly scratch-resistant surface tolerates regular utensils and serving tools.
- Impact and thermal-shock resistance allow safe transitions from freezer to oven.
