I've been waiting for the perfect time to purchase this dutch oven, and I'm so glad we were able to get it this holiday season. Very sleek, and amazing quality. We've already used it for holiday meals and some wine-braised ribs. Definitely an amazing centerpiece and highly recommend.
The 4-quart dutch oven is the perfect size for my needs. The matte black color is refined and blends in perfectly with the black stainless steel kitchen decor. Very pleased with this purchase and more manageable than the larger 7-quart variant.
I bought 2 identical 4-qt Dutch ovens to keep at a vacation house. I have been using the same two for about 5 years, solely for bread making, using them once a week. They are the perfect size and high-quality workmanship. Staub does not recommend heating them empty, as most people do for breadmaking. I have always done that, and they have help up perfectly. I wouldn't go from very cold to hot and only from room temperature to cold water. Love these!!
This is the best Dutch oven I have used. It’s made of great quality cast-iron and provides amazing cooking in addition to being stylish. The lid is heavier than other brands I used but it seals in moisture and retains heat perfectly making the meals even so delicious (specially stews).
