I love this size and I love this shape especially for roasting chickens. You have enough room to add your vegetables in with the chicken, which is a huge plus. The spikes under the lid collect moisture and self-baste the dish all while it is cooking, so almost like you have an extra hand! You get to take all the credit though!
Great size for everything. Braise on nearly 11" bottom, saute and of course stews. has nobs inside lid...a Staub trademark, that keeps moisture where it should be. Colour gradually lightens from top to bottom. Easily cleanable
I love the size on this dutch oven, for my needs 4 qt is too small and the 7 is for bigger events. this has become a good size for weekly meals with some leftovers for lunches. It has a good height, deep enough that the lid doesn't touch the food so you get good use of those basting spikes.
This is perfect family size pot. You can get a whole chicken it it for roasting or make a batch of soup with left overs. I fry burgers and steaks in the pot all the time - because of the high walls there is not splattering of grease. The interior black matte finish produces a perfect sear on meats.
It is perfect for my small family. It does make a difference food taste wise, efficiency-saves gas and you can serve your delicious dish straight to your table without the need to use another dish. I also bought a staub cast iron trivet to protect my table from direct heat.
This cocotte is the perfect addition to any kitchen; the superiority and quality Staub offers is next to none... love the basting rivets under the lid.
The graphite grey color from Staub is one that goes well in any kitchen. I use this 5.5qt cocotte almost on a daily basis for a variety of recipes when making food for my boyfriend and I. This provides us with plenty of food for dinner and lots of leftovers.
