Super, unique soup or stew pot. The picture on site doesn't do it justice. It' fairly big at 3 quarts and is constructed like all other Staub pieces-tough and durable. Basil colour is a nice deep green.
One word, collectables! The artichoke is stunning IRL, the colors and the shine are unparalleled. I have the tomato, pumpkin and now the articoke and they all love on open shelving in my kitchen. So beautiful and they go from the oven to table beautifully. I am so glad I started my collection and can't wait to add to it.
I love this like artichoke cocotte! I mainly use this for dips (spinach and artichoke dip in particular), but it really can do anything. It can go on your stove or inside your oven, make stews, or rice, whatever you want it to do! Very unique piece, there is nothing like it out there.
The artichoke design is meticulous from the perfect green color, lid design, curves in the base, down to the cute little handles.
Don't be misled by the cute design; this little guy can be a work horse. It has amazing Staub features like the beautiful, chip resistant enameling on the outside. It also has the black interior that doesn't require seasoning, browns beautifully and cleans up easily.
My first thought would be serving a party dip. Perfect because it holds its heat so well. But its 3 qt size would also be ideal for soups, stews or even baking bread.
This is one of those pots that goes from stove/oven to table so nicely! It's definitely a conversation piece plus it has all the qualities you'd expect from a Staub cocotte. The black matte interior never needs seasoning and has superior browning and clean up qualities. The majolique glazing provides depth of color like no other. This is so pretty you'll want to leave it on your stove top all the time!
You will love everything about this stunning Staub artichoke! One of the most beautiful presentation pieces I have seen! Serve soups, casseroles, rice dishes, pasta dishes or add meats. Literally for anything and everything! It will be the topic of conversation at the table!
