I use this pot for cooking all of my grains and cereals. The shape makes it very easy to stir. The design on the underside of the lid distributes moisture evenly for perfect cooking every time. It really does a great job on rice. The enamel layers mean no seasoning and if I do burn something in the pot being able to soak in it is a big plus.
This is a great pot for a small batch of soup, chili, rices and grains, and legumes. Great for 1 or 2 people, or a side dish. Cooks so evenly on the stove or in the oven. The enamel coating means there is no issues with maintenance, no seasoning necessary. Just wash, dry and repeat!
The petite french oven can be used for so many things and that's why we love it! I have cooked rice in it, dips, or stews/. It is just the right size! The lid fits perfect to lock in moisture!
A beauty of a small French oven to use almost daily! I especially love it for morning oatmeal, rice dishes, couscous and warming leftovers! This carries right over to the table for a nice presentation, instead of another bowl, plate or serving dish and then stays hot!
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 is one of my favorite and most used piece of Staub that I own. We eat a lot of brown, black and red rice in our family and I love using this pot for cooking it. I put the rice or grain in the pot, add water and put it in the oven at 350 for an hour. Perfect rice everytime with a little bit of fondant on the bottom and sides. This is also a great oatmeal pot or for those cooking for one.
One day a customer walked in and asked if we carry a rice cooker. I thought this customer was in the wrong store. I then quickly thought of this 1.5qt. petite french oven and to my surprise, that is what that customer is looking for. She said, "she have the smaller one she enjoyed using it, it cooks rice perfectly and great for soup even deep frying small food. Another happy customer, she is so glad we carry this size and bought graphite as well.
