Nothing beats my Staub cookware. Nothing even comes close. I use all of my pieces and they are all equally fabulous when it comes to consistently outstanding results. I use them for everything, including keeping salads fresh in the fridge!
This smaller sized cocotte is perfect for cooking rice, grains, oatmeal, and risotto. The cast iron really allows quick absorption and these items cook to perfection. Also great for heating a serving smaller quantities of soups, stews, pasta, and sauces. Keeps everything nice and hot, and looks great on the table.
I have a few larger Staub pots. I love the enameled cast iron. I love not having to season them and how much easier they clean than traditional cast iron. The heat retention is great. I love this smaller one for sauces. It holds temperature throughout service and is easy to reheat on the stovetop or in the oven.
It's the toughest little cast iron I own. Braises then slowly stews to perfection thanks to tiny spikes that disperse moisture all over. Tight lid...and easy clean.
I love how cute this pot is and I use it for side dishes because I can take it from the oven to the table because the cast iron with keep its heat even after sitting out. I love the handles on the pot because it makes it easy to take in and out of the oven. This pot is also very easy to clean and doesn't need any extra care like regular cast iron.
