#1 cast iron pot everyone should have
on March 28, 2020
Posted by: bourbonbb
I love my 5.5 qt round! I've had it for at least five years and it still looks new. It is my go-to pot for soups, stews and bread. It browns beautifully, nothing ever sticks, and cooks evenly. When I make a roast, it comes out incredibly moist because of the "dimples" on the lid. All the trapped moisture creates a little rain forrest. I love taking food directly from the stove to the table. I highly recommend the magnetic trivet.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the second white cocotte from Staub I’ve purchased that was missing the white coating on the handles. My friend also had the same issue. I returned. Makes me question the quality checks.

Staub cast iron have variety of colors to choose from, caters individual's color taste. I love grenadine so dearly loved in my kitchen. color will blends in naturally either stainless steel or modern designed. Staub cast iron pots saves you another dish, you can serve your delicious dish straight to your table. I also bought a staub magnetic trivet to protect my table from direct heat, it add another beautiful thing at your dinner parties. The innovative lid features tiny spikes on the interior that continually release condensed liquid back onto the food, yielding moist, flavorful results. It is durability, it is perfect for day-to-day use.

Beautiful Color! Careful Where You Rest It.

Frequency of use:Monthly
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a very generous gift and love it! The color is beautiful, and the enamel looks nice and shiny. The lid—and the cocotte itself— is solid, well-made, and heavy and it seals in moisture very well. The only thing is that the interior of the cocotte and the lid are a matte enamel that rubs against each other when using. My range stove racks are not too kind to the enamel bottom, so be careful when moving your cocotte on the stove top. Try to lift and then turn, instead of drag or spin. Also warning for the interior of the lid: careful where you rest it. I have started keeping towels on the countertop or my wooden cutting board, so it does not get scratched either. The stove racks are again notorious for rubbing away at the matte interior. I might look into getting that fancy lid holder after all!

I have almost every color in the Staub 5.5 cocotte. I ordered this one for the fall holidays and pull it out every year. The heat capability of the pan is amazing - heats up quickly and evenly, also stays hot for hours. It has self-basting spikes on the interior of the lid which collect and return all moisture back into dish - nothing dries out and the food stays moist. I often pan fry burgers in the pan and the searing capability of the pan is amazing. Also, the high walls prevent grease from getting on the stove top. Latest addition to this workhorse is making bread, turns out perfect every time.

I bought this wanting to do the waterless cooking method to retain more nutrients from the ingredients for my baby's solid food. And I love it! It is easy to cook with and everything tastes so much better!

This one is the Perfect Size if you can't decide!
on March 31, 2020

If you are trying to choose your first Staub cocotte I suggest the 5.5 quart round. It's not too big and not too small and you'll enjoy using it for everything from soups, stews and chilis to roasting a full chicken or slow roasting a pork shoulder. The matte black interior provides a superior browning and clean up experience and the color selection is amazing. Staub has a special "Majolique" glazing process that gives the colors dimension yet they are durable and you can easily scrub off baked on foods without worrying about scratches.

A 5.5qt cocotte is probably the most popular size due to its versatility. Great for all your soups, stews and chili but can also hold a whole chicken and a large roast. If you only buy one cast iron pot this one will give you an exceptional cooking experience every time. Staub cast iron is surrounded by 3 layers on enamel on the interior and 3 layers of a beautiful glaze on the exterior. No need to season these pots and they can even go in the dishwasher if necessary. Interior is slightly textured for a perfect brown or sear and easy release. The lids have continuous basting beads for a consistently moist environment during cooking. No wonder restaurants prefer to cook in Staub. This pot will not disappoint.
