STAUB Tomato Mini Cocotte 16-oz Petite Ceramic Baking Dish — Cherry, Oven-Safe

The Staub Ceramic 16-oz Petite Tomato Mini Cocotte is a cherry-red oven-to-table stoneware baking dish shaped like an heirloom tomato, ideal for single-serving casseroles and elegant presentation.

Inspired by the Brandywine tomato, this petite cocotte blends decorative charm with practical oven performance. Finished in a glossy glass porcelain, it resists scratches and thermal shock while bringing a festive, sculptural accent to your tabletop. Designed for baking and serving rather than stovetop use, it’s a collectible piece that performs for everyday meals and special occasions.

How does the petite cocotte perform in the oven?

The Staub Tomato Cocotte is built for the oven, safe to use up to 572°F (300°C). Its porcelain finish tolerates high heat and provides even baking for individual gratins, custards, and small casseroles without affecting flavors.

• Oven-safe to 572°F for baking, roasting, and finishing dishes.
• Thermal shock resistant to handle temperature changes from fridge to oven carefully.
• Glass porcelain promotes even heat distribution for uniform cooking.

Can I use it on the stovetop or under a broiler?

This mini cocotte is strictly for oven and table use; it should not be placed on stovetops, including electric ranges. While it withstands high oven temperatures, direct contact with open flame or stovetop heating can damage the porcelain finish.

• Not compatible with gas, induction, or electric stovetops.
• Safe for broiler use only if manufacturer guidelines permit — avoid prolonged direct flame.
• Best used for baking, reheating, and presentation rather than stovetop cooking.

Is it easy to clean and durable enough for regular use?

• Dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
