Staub Enameled Cast Iron Pumpkin Cocotte
You can bake bread, cook stews, roast meat and more in Staub’s 3.5-quart pumpkin-shaped cocotte (aka a Dutch oven). The dish and lid are made from cast iron, so the cocotte retains heat well, the brand says. The exterior is coated in glossy enamel (you can choose either orange or white), while the interior is coated in black matte enamel, a textured surface that helps food to brown, according to Staub. The cocotte is compatible with all cooktops and is oven-safe and broiler-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit as well as dishwasher-safe, Staub says.
Select senior editor Morgan Greenwald received this cocotte as a gift for her Halloween wedding and noted that it’s great for making dishes like mac and cheese and sweet potato casserole for Thanksgiving, all while adding some festivity to the tablescape. “Just don’t expect to travel with it — it weighs around 10 pounds,” she said.
Le Creuset Pumpkin Cocotte
Le Creuset’s pumpkin-shaped cocotte resembles Staub’s, but Le Creuset’s is a bit bigger at 4 quarts, and its interior is coated in a light-colored, smooth enamel.

It’s available in Sea Salt, Meringue and Persimmon colors.
