Beautiful Blue Cocotte
on February 10, 2021
Posted by: KitchenQueen007
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 5qt cocotte is the perfect size for making stews, braising, baking rustic breads & frying! I love the blue color as it’s a deep cobalt blue. I also like the black interior as it doesn’t show the wear like light enameled pans. So excited to continue using this multi-functional pot!
Anything you cook in this is awesome! Plus it is absolutely beautiful to look at sitting on my stove. Do not hide in the cupboard. It is a work of art in more ways than one. I highly recommend it.I use it for bread, sauces, stews, braising. Superb quality and great value for the price I paid.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beautiful with a tight-fitting lid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Staub Dutch oven! The depth on this one is great for baking bread. The color is beautiful, and the lid fits so well. The added texture on the inside of the lid for self-basting is also great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cocotte me off guard!

I've used other brands and actually did some research on other brands before purchasing. The fact that other brands boast a light interior is a bit misleading and amateurish in my opinion, one should be able to tell when something is browning or burning. I love this pot and want another one, although the size of my kitchen won't allow it.
I’m getting used to it, it’s well made and heavy for sure. I tried making a pot roast in it and it just didn’t fit well. I guess I’ll have to buy a bigger one now. Lol. I’ll have to wait for another sale.
Love this pot. Great height and width. Can fit a 4-5lb chicken for soup. Gorgeous color.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The easiness of cooking cream-based soups
on October 14, 2022
Posted by: AlexRar
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having searched for non-toxic cook ware that is also durable, I've finally come across this cocotte. The first dish that I've cooked in it is Minnesota Wild Rice and Mushroom soup , and the result was more than I had expected. The cooking quality that stood out was that there was no burning of the ingredients at the very bottom of the pot, which usually happens with milk-based dishes. I used a wooden spoon for mixing as had been instructed in the manual. The heat retention was superb as well, as compared to my experience with other cast iron pans I have. I used noticeably less gas, and the cocotte had to remain in room temperature for some time before I could put it into the fridge. Aesthetically, I look forward to featuring this piece on a dining table when we invite guests. The ultra-marine color looks unique and goes well with other colors, such as shades of black and red. Most importantly, I appreciate the idea of washing fewer dishes as the food does not need to be transferred into new pots to look good while serving. In sum, main features that stand out are: heat retention, size, ability to perform multiple functions (boiling, baking, caramelizing), aesthetic appearance, and longevity. In addition, mainly glass coating over cast iron core is what had sold this product to me.
