Best pot ever!!! We use this pot all the time for soup, stews and chili. I was nervous about using it in the fire pit but I swear this pot is indestructible and has worked wonderfully in the fire pit.
When I first looked at this pot, I was a little confused because it looked like other cast iron pots that need to be seasoned, which makes it hard to clean and needs to be cared for, but not this! Right out of the box, it was nonstick and the lid with the spikes works great to make sure my meat doesn't dry out in the middle. I love this pot!
My favorite cast iron. Perfect size dutch oven for preparing roast, soup, and stew. Surface is excellent for browning and braising, while self-basting lid design results in moist and flavorful results.
I love how this pan retains heat, you can make soup, turn off the burner and the soup will still be hot 1 hour (at least) later. Also can go from refrigerator to oven.
The 4qt round oven in the simple black matte representation, doesn’t get more classic than this. Chefs can enjoy the amazing benefits of Staub cast iron with this vintage look that will look good in any kitchen. This size is great for feeding 2-4 people and can be used for a myriad of stovetop and oven-baked dishes.
They literally broke the mold when they made these! I love that each piece is unique and not 100% like any other. Sand molds are used to pour the hot cast iron into and then broken when cooled. So you get a unique piece that on one else has. The cocottes are so versatile and can be used for countless meal preps, even baking bread. The matte black is my favorite color of all. I think that it is elegant and can be mixed and matched with other staub pieces of different color easily. These are easy to clean, fabulous at browning, searing, sautéing and frying, and I love the self-basting lids which produce moist results every time.
