Perfect Addition
on January 1, 2025

Beautiful Product! So happy with the way it looks and feels. The Color on the enamel is so pretty and deep. The Glass lid is beautiful and a change of pace to the other cast iron lids. The texture inside is nice and handles are useful. Not too big or small. I really like the weight. We got this as a compliment to our larger 7qt Cocotte so we have something to make small sauces and dishes in for dinner for 2.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worth the money

I love this Brazer. I have had it for about five years. Only thing is I cooked in it one time and it made spots in the bottom. I didn’t use metal utensils. I’m very careful when using my pots and pans. Anyway, I washed it and whatever it is it still came back. Looks like rust but it’s not. It’s just sitting in my cabinet because I’m afraid to use it.

I purchased this braiser approximately a year ago, and it has been worth every penny. I mostly use it for larger one-pot meals, like cassoulet. It heats well and goes from stove to oven. The lid is wonderful for braising. While this is not something I use weekly, I'm always excited when I use it. I plan on having this braiser for decades to come and cooking up memories.

Braise Away in this beauty!
on September 26, 2020
Posted by: msjonimarie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quarantine has led to a collection of staub products for me. The quality is unmatched and the exterior finishes are just breath taking. I have had no issues with chips in the enamel. No issues with cleaning either! I love the beautiful sear from utilizing this pan. Then it’s an easy transition to the oven to finish cooking through. 10/10!!

Beautiful pan - but food sticks to bottom
on September 19, 2019

I have been in love with this beautiful, useful pan for quite a while. Imagine how excited I was to finally purchase it and have it in my home! Right away I wanted to make my husband a beautiful fried egg as he loves them and this pan seemed the ideal pan to create the fried egg of his dreams!
Unfortunately not. I am not a newbie to cooking. I am a seasoned and well trained cook. However, I put olive oil in the pan, heated it to temperature, cracked the eggs in a bowl and poured the eggs into the oil when it reached a medium temperature.
And the eggs stuck to the bottom of the pan like glue. So disappointing. My dream of crisp, perfect fried eggs died a miserable death as I had to scrape the eggs off the pan.
So now, there is no way to go back. Everything sticks to the bottom of the pan.
I am planning to season the pan in the traditional way, but since it's enameled I am not very hopeful to make it non-stick. I would have prefered to pay half the price of this pan and gotten a plain old cast iron pan that I could rely on to become non-stick.
Would love to know if there's a way to fix this!!

Thank you for taking the time to review this product, and we are sorry to hear you had a bad first experience. Please try seasoning and using more oil or a different type of fat with a higher smoke point, like vegetable oil. Sticking will improve over time. If you would like to discuss this further, we are happy to help!

I love cooking with braisers but I especially appreciate the glass lid and being able to keep track of the action going on inside my cast iron pan. The dark blue is such a classic color and goes really well with my kitchen theme. The cast iron creates a perfectly heated surface for so many of my favorite recipes making this braiser one of the most versatile pieces in my cookware collection.

Just the perfect size

I really like the glass lid with this pot. It's a nice change up from my other Staub pots with the solid lids.
The size is perfect for week night meals. I put this pan in a counter top convection oven. Just the right size!Dark blue is gorgeous!! love the Staub colors!
