When my family grew from 3 to 7 with my remarriage, I realized I needed something a little larger than the 4 qt cocotte I have. Thrilled to find a matching piece in Graphite in this size. Staub can't be beat as a cast iron product. Never has to be seasonsd, the dark interior has several advantages..better for browning, searing and sautéing meats and vegetables. The dark interior also doesn't show stains from foods like lighter interior cast iron. This cast iron is so versatile...I can bake in it, use it to deep fry, and of course all the normal functions of cooking.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for No Knead Bread

Love making no knead bread for my family, but wanted to double the recipe. Decided on this 5.5 cocotte and it is truly the perfect sized pan for doing that. My breads come out perfect. The metal knob on the lid is oven safe in high temperatures, which is perfect for the 500 degree temperature it cooks at with lid on. The lid also fits nice and tight, and creates just the correct amount of steam to produce a hard crust and moist and perfect crumb. Also great for Irish Stew which goes great with the bread.

Best Dutch oven I've ever used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is amazing!!! I use it almost every single day and it conducts heat so perfectly on the stove and in the oven. I have used it for stews, soups, braises, sauces, and have even stir-fried veggies. It is so durable and so useful in the kitchen. It's also very pretty and I don't even put it away I like to just leave it out on my stove top when I'm not using it. Would make a great gift for any loved one or friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cocoette has been the best purchase! I use it all the time and it’s been great using it on our Traeger this summer. We also have the 7.5QT. You won’t regret this purchase!
Exactly what I expected - Staub really makes great quality dutch ovens, and it has worked incredibly well to make multiple dishes so far, including sourdough loaves. The Saffron color is a gorgeous addition to my kitchen as well!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great multifunctional pot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought mainly for use in the over (bread baking), but also love the fact it works equally well on any type of cook top. Multifunctional (less pots needed), seems indeed durable, and is aesthetically pleasing, which is important for my kitchen with open lay-out. Happy.
Good size and good color. This fits my needs to use in the kitchen.

Great Size

Nice 7 quart size is perfect size for my family of 7. Make tons of chili, sauces, stews, stocks and soups. Dark interior perfect for searing, and resists staining especially from tomato based recipes. Induction ready, oven safe up to 500 degrees. Flat lid with little grooves on the underside helps keep roasts extremely moist, and free from basting. Keeps food hot, and works double as a beautiful serving piece.
