Cocotte en Fonte, Ronde noir mat STAUB

Must have for any kitchen.Great for stews, roast and chicken. Cleaned up and maintenance is easy, just follow the directions for cleaning and proper seasoning of the pot.

I bought this mainly to make rice, and honestly… I wish I had bought it sooner. It has quickly become one of my favorite pots in the kitchen.

The heat retention is amazing. Once it heats up, it stays hot and cooks the rice very evenly. When I make Korean-style pot rice, the grains turn out fluffy and moist, and the bottom gets that perfect crispy layer. It seriously makes the rice taste better than a regular rice cooker.

My husband loves rice, and every time I use this pot he says the rice tastes so good 😊 It’s now the pot I reach for most often.

The lid is another thing I love. It keeps moisture inside so the food stays tender and flavorful, which makes it great not only for rice but also for stews and braised dishes.

It’s also beautiful enough to bring straight to the table for serving.

The only downside is the weight—it’s definitely heavy. But once you get used to it, the quality and cooking results make it totally worth it.

The weight, size, and feel are nice. I think it does a good job for the most part but has a tendency to stick and generally won’t let go (even after the meat “cooks long enough.” I struggle cleaning the bottom and think the enamel is wearing after just a year (even with mild use and never exposing to high heat). For thinks like stews or greens, it’s great though so I can complain. I hope I have it and can pass it on to my family.

Amazing! I waited far too long and went through other less expensive brands when I see the value and benefit of a brand that has stood behind their product. No lie the meals I have made for years are better in this. The self basting lid design truly results in more tender and moist meat ...I have actually had to slightly adjust techniques that I was compensating for in my previous cookware. It also is important that I am cooking in non toxic ceramic cookware for my family. Cleanup has been easier as I have learned quickly to adjust my cooking technique to avoid sticking. But even when I had sticking, baking soda did the trick! While I got this on sale which makes it an absolute no brainer good value, it is worth the investment at full price. For reference, I have gone through 3 less expensive brand Dutch ovens in the past 7 years and it feels great knowing this piece will be handed down. I can't wait to get my next Staub piece!

I love Staub cast iron! The quality, the sturdiness, and the fact I don't have to baby it when I cook hard in it is a joy. Gets the job done and looks great while doing it!

I have been eyeing these for years agonizing over the size to get since I am only a family of 3 with a Glass cook top. So glad I got this size... Perfect for the soups and Curries I am looking to make.

Love cooking with my Staub dutch oven, for soups, stews, and bread!

Excellent product! I love the size of this, it's perfect for the two of us.
