[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color of this gorgeous oval coquette allows me to leave it on my stove year round. The detail is a exquisite and will truly be an heirloom to pass down to future generations. Even cooking temperatures, versatility, and sophistication in every meal.
So many dutch ovens are round. I really like the oval design on this one. The black matte interior gives great browning and the braising spikes on the lid keep my food moist. I like doing a whole chicken in here but even more i like to do a nice long braise in pieces. The rooster knob is available seperatly but comes with this model......bonus. The enamel coating is super attractive and is so much easier to clean than regular cast iron.
Staub cast iron is by far superior to all other cast iron cookware. The dark interior browns and sears nicely any meats you cook. The self basting feature on the lid helps keep meats, poultry moist and flavorful while cooking quicker than cooking in a roasting pan or other dish. I like that my dinner can be served right from the piece it is cooked in; this Coq au Vin makes a beautiful serving piece as it goes directly from the oven to the table.
I love my new Dutch Oven! It is the perfect size for making soups, stews, roasts and whole chickens. And it cleans up like a dream! I had a difficult time deciding on a color, but I am very happy I chose Genedine; it’s a deep, rich burgundy looks beautiful.
This oval design allows you to fit longer items in the pot. It’s good for fitting long roasts or whole chickens as well as any other items you would cook in a traditional cocotte. The rooster knob is a fun addition that really makes this pot stand out from others. The lid design really helps in maintaining the moistness of your food without having to lift up the lid and baste continuously.
Never had oval-shaped cocotte before...yet nearly all guests make comment! Heats up quickly/cleans easily and nice deep burgundy-like colour. rooster handle looks neat and doesn't wanna burn ya!
I was looking at a lot of different shapes and sizes when I was in the market for a cast iron pot and I love how this one is an oval shape and it also is a great size for the amount of food I typically need to make. I have made a whole roasted chicken in this pot and it's great! I love this pot!
