The grenadine color is something you have to see in person to appreciate. The way Staub creates a depth of color in their pieces is incredible. This has really rich dark red that will go well with any kitchen. It’s really something that you want to take from the oven to the table. I’d recommend getting the magnetic wooden trivets to add with this. They stick to the pot, so you never have to worry about buring your table or counters.
Small but Mighty! I live alone so this size is just perfect for me for more dishes than I can count. I use it for small pots of chili, stew for one, macaroni and cheese, i have even baked a small loaf of bread for myself. All the benefits of the larger cocottes but for a smaller household.
I must say I have used a lot of different cast iron cookware before. The most impressive of them is Staub. The performance alone will always keep me coming back for more. The cosmetic beauty it conveys is just a bonus, as I keep one on my range at all times. The Staub 4qt I use mostly for preparing sides for my family of 4. They are great for baked beans, corn, green beans, soups, sauces. You should always hand wash and clean as soon as you can behind using or you are going to be exerting some elbow grease literally into getting it clean. The built in self basting spikes allow for the rainfall effect and for the moisture to distribute evenly while cooking. Although I love using for sides, the seasoning of meat can be done best in a Staub 4qt. We make sausage and eggs for breakfast and to get the best taste, only use Staub and the 4qt to get the meat seasoned perfectly. I always have one handy by my range to put to good use. LOVE the Staub 4qt!
This pan is so versatile. The interior of the cocotte is coated with Staub's famous black matte finish that allows for perfect searing. The inside of the lid has self basting spikes which capture all condensation and return it to pan so no flavor is lost. The heat capability of this cocotte is amazing, it can go up to 500F in the oven. I have even put it on the BBQ for an additional cooking surface and works perfectly. You can cook anything in this pan!
the most beautiful dutch oven Ive owned!@ I love this grenadine color, remind me of a great red wine, something I love to cook with! The size is perfect for 2 with some leftovers. Food cooked in cast iron makes the best leftovers of all! Staub lids fid snugly, and the basting spikes keep the surface evenly moist. The shape and size of this vessel makes Staub my favorite of all my different cast iron pieces.
Not only do I love this color, but I love this piece. The 4 qt is perfect for a small family. We love to slow cook meats, whole chicken, pot roast, etc. The self basting lid keeps your meat so juicy and tender. It's like nothing I have ever seen.
I do adore grenadine color, it blends in well on any kitchen furnace. It is perfect a decent size of delicious dish you have in mind. It does make a difference food taste wise, efficiency-saves gas and you can serve your delicious dish straight to your table without the need to use another dish. I also bought a staub cast iron trivet to protect my table from direct heat.
