I am a relatively new cook in my home and am just getting into braising, roasting, etc and have been using my Staub 4 qt. braiser. I love it. Its heaviness and quality make me feel good - like a real chef! I have not yet used my new 5.75-qt Coq au Vin Cocotte (I just received it yesterday) but know it will be just as great as my braiser.
I chose Staub over some other brands because it was the highest quality, and by far the most beautiful. I prepared a Coq Au Vin for my first use and not only were our guest impressed with their meal, but all commented on the dutch oven. I can't wait to use it again.
I BOUGHT THIS 6 WEEKS AGO AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! I HAVE MADE STUFFED CABBAGE, STUFFED PEPPERS, CHICKEN SOUP, MEATBALLS/WITH SAUCE AND NOW THIS MORNING I AM MAKING BEAN AND HAM HOCK SOUP............I LOVE STAUB POTS, THEY ARE THE ABSOLUTEL BEST PRODUCT OUT THERE.........I EVEN BOUGHT MY DAUGHTER AND SISTER YOUR PUMPKIN AND TOMOTO STAUB POTS AND THEY LOVE IT!!!!
