Great size for soup and meat stew
on December 11, 2020
Posted by: SuperRachel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the 3rd staub cast iron in my collections. I wanted to get a small one so no need to wash the 4qt one every time. This is perfect size for a small family use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.
Response from Zwilling.comBy Consumer Relations, September 9, 2020
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.

You will not store this little guy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I agonized between the dark navy blue and the Graphite (to match my 5.5qt Cocotte), only because dark navy blue is my favorite color. I did finally go with the Graphite so that my Cocotte had a matching friend. This is the best petite French oven that you can get and you will find yourself using it for everything. I've made steel cut oats, wheat berries, rice, sauces, soups, pasta, everything in this adorable little French oven. It is petite at 1 3/4qt, but it is deep so that you can fit a lot and easily stir what you are cooking or reheating. I find myself reaching for my petite oven more than I expected, it has become my favorite cookware to use. Also, it is super easy to clean with soap and water at the sink. You will use this over and over throughout the week!

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!

Adorable little French petite oven is perfect for side dishes of any kind. Amazing heat capability - heats quickly, evenly and stays hot for hours. I love to use it to bake desserts in, especially cobblers. My son heats soup in it, really its quite versatile.

The perfect size for rice and many people do use it as their rice cooker. It come out perfectly due to the tight fitting cast iron lid and the Christera drop-structure lid which drops all the moisture back down into the vessel. It is what keeps dishes moist and results in the perfect consistancy.

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.

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.
