This pot is very cute, but it also is super functional because the lid has the same "nike swooshes" that the larger Staub pots have so that it is also self-basting to make everything better.
Due to the special chevrons beneath lid, the chistera yields fluffiest, most moist rice I've ever made. Beautiful enameled grenadine goes from stovetop to table. Available magnetic trivet is a good idea as well.
This pot was recommended to me to use for overnight oatmeal. It works perfectly! the oats soak so nicely then just turn on the heat in the morning...ready to go. Something about using cast iron gives the oatmeal so much rich flavor while maintaining the texture. Hubby gets excited every time he sees the pot he expects there is oatmeal coming.
Oatmeal anyone? This perfect little cooker will warm your soups, stews and veggies, and makes rice and couscous very moist from the spikes on the lid! They heat evenly and thoroughly. And the colors are rich and intense w/ a glossy finish!
Received this as a Christmas Gift, probably because we eat lots of grains. I've made Coucous, pilaf and risotto and all come out very moist and delicious. Good gift idea for a vegetarian
This Petite French oven conical bottom shape allows stirring and mixing effortless. It is perfect for cooking small portion soup and sauce. To my surprise, this petite French oven is a perfect rice cooker too and even great deep frying food. A daily pot for casual meals for sumptuous suppers. Slightly shallow but still has a good food space. Compare to cocotte lids features tiny spikes on the interior, this French oven has chistera lid for excellent self-basting properties. Chistera lid performs the same functionality, that continually release condensed liquid back onto the food, yielding moist, flavorful results. It does make a difference in food taste wise, efficiency-saves gas and you can serve your delicious dish straight to your table without the need to use another dish. Compatible with gas, induction, ceran, halogen, and electric cooktops.
This adorable little Staub, is great for making rice. It can be used on the buffet to serve gravy or sauce. The cast iron body retains heat well and it looks beautiful. The only challenge is picking a color.
