Sturdy product but knob RUSTS!
on September 8, 2020
Posted by: Anony89404
Despite that Staub is known for the beauty and quality of their products, this product has a couple of cons. First, it's a beautifully made pot, very sturdy, and the style of the lid does indeed allow moisture to drip back to the pot.
However, the handles are very small and gets hot once you take it off the stove. It's hard to grab the handles to pour out the boiled water or hot liquid.
Also, my biggest complaint is I got the one with the stainless steel knob and it RUSTS after 2 months of use (see picture)! I've only handwashed it with a soft sponge and always lay it on the drying mat to fully dry before storing it. Paid full price and I expected better from a brand to claim that their products are one of the best.
You might think that the rust is only on the underside of the knob and no one will see it, but the rust actually SPREADS all the way down the knob and onto the enamel coating of the lid which is how I noticed it and unscrewed the knob to discover what was underneath the knob. The picture shows the rust only after I soaked it in vinegar for a day so it's actually worse than what the picture shows. Staub probably knows this occurs which is why they sell the knobs separately and make you spend more on their already expensive products.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Water can collect in the crevices around the knob and screw. To prevent rusting, we recommend removing the knob every few cleanings and gently scrubbing around and inside it and thoroughly drying before replacing it.

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

The heat distribution is this french oven and Staub in general is unprecedented. My food browns perfectly. You truly do not know what you are missing out on until you have a Staub piece.

Great, Moisturing Baby Cocotte

Nearly 2 quarts, this "rice cooker" does a lot more. Very handy for sauces and bit of seering as well. Has the Staub-exclusive chevrons beneath lid for continual food moisturizing.

I just love this perfect size 1 1/2 qt! Beautiful look at and as designer that is a priority and performance is amazing from risotto to blanching haricot vert. I can not wait to have the grill saute, 2 in 1 that is an exclusive with Food52. I hoping to see it offered on the Zwilling site soon. The service was effortless. Many thanks!
