STAUB Cast Iron 7-Qt. Cocotte Round Dutch Oven, Serves 7-8, Cherry

I waited months before getting this Dutch oven. I was on the fence about whether or not our household truly needed one. And since we live in a New York City apartment, we only had space for one size, so it was a 5.5-quart or 7-quart. We settled on 5.5-quart because it is Staub’s best-selling size, along with being the right size for the space we have. I chose graphite gray because it matches our household aesthetic better and goes well with Staub's silver animal knobs. The color looks great, and the glossy finish throughout the cocotte is smooth without any manufacturing flaws. Using this requires reading through a thick mini instruction manual first—if you want your cocotte to last a lifetime. Basically, preheat it on low heat for five minutes before heating it hotter; you don’t want to go from cold to high heat too quickly. There is also a good Staub video on YouTube explaining the best practices for treating this cocotte to last. Using it has been useful in certain applications. We deep-fry fries and chicken, and this retains the oil temperature a lot better than a non-stick pot. You don’t have to wait as long for oil to heat back up. We also use it for soups and find that soups seem to taste just a little better being cooked in this. Overall, it's a few months later, and I think I made the right decision to get one and to get this size. I customized mine with the Staub lobster knob. We use this at least once a week, and it is a joy to use. There is some anxiety in my head about making sure this stays spotless for all time, but that’s my neurosis. Recommended!

Perfection ! It’s heavy, I’ve used this cocotte multiple times and it has not disappointed! Beautiful and functional!

I had been wanting a new dutch oven for a long time, and I decided to splurge on this one. I've baked bread in it multiple times, and made some really yummy stews. It gets extremely hot, so you need to monitor closely when cooking. You can most definitely see the difference with Staub and Le Creuset cookware. They're sturdy, durable and very well made. With proper care, they will last a lifetime. I have other Staub and Le Creuset cookware, and the quality is great as well. Just be aware that they're very heavy before you even cook anything, so get ready to use some muscle. I'm happy with my purchase, and I would definitely recommend! Happy cooking!

Bought this for my mom for xmas. She loves red and is now in love with dutch oven cooking. Heat retention on this thing is incredible. She uses a gas cooktop and loves this for its ability to be used on almost everything. Very Versatile. WIN!

Oh my God! Came from Japan! No taxes (DE), mo customs fees! All calculated before you place order! This is the flagship model of Staub right in front of my eyes!

Beautiful, large Dutch oven. Bought for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it. Can’t go wrong with Staub. I have one as well and it holds up beautifully.

Is this pricey for a pot? Mmmmnn-hnnnn. BUT. Enameled cast iron is amazing - you can saute in it, brown meat in it, cook bacon in it, etc., to do all the starting bits of a dish, then put in the wet ingredients and make a stew or something else fabulous. And, I've used both Lodge & Le Creuset and I like Staub better for two reasons: 1) The dark surface of the interior is BETTER on a Staub. Le Creuset tends to have stains you can't get out, and browning meat sticks to the inside of a Lodge pot like glue, which ruins the crust on your meat. Staub tends to be much more non-stick and good at browning, also easier to clean. Maybe it does stain, too, but you can't see it. 2) The spikes on the inside of the lid send condensation back into your dish and make your meat come out tenderer. This size is better for me than the 5qt size, because I like to cook for a crowd, and the red color is beautiful!

Great product.

Al precio que la compre en amazon (120eur), una autentica ganga para lo que es: un producto de alta gama que cumple con las espectativas. El envio fue rapido y el paquete llegO en perfectas condiciones. Los guisos salen deliciosos con la carne muy tierna. Es un producto premium, pero te dan por lo que pagas: muy buena calidad de manufactura. Es una olla que te puede durar toda la vida. Aunque tenga un toque retro los detalles estAn cuidados y estudiados. Por ejemplo, la forma por dentro de la tapa hace que el agua que se condensa vuelva a caer repartiendose por toda la superficie y no solo por los costados. El disenyo del asa de la tapa es perfecto para levantarla con un guante entre pulgar y mano sin que se caiga. Luego ya, cada uno tiene sus gustos... pero me parece que esteticamente el disenyo es precioso, y con ese color me gusta incluso dejarla vacia cuando no la uso en un sitio expuesto de mi cocina. El tamanyo de 26cm es el adecuado para poder preparar comodamente un guiso para 5-6 personas. Dudaba entre la de 24cm y la de 26cm, y por la pequenya diferencia de precio merece la pena. Encargue primero la de 24cm y me parecio un poco justa para la cantidad de comensales que tenia en mente. La de 24cm tiene capacidad para 3,8 litros y en la de 26cm caben 5 litros. Esos 2 centimetros enganyan... Felizmente amazon me dejo hacer el cambio sin poner pegas, como siempre muy buen servicio. Conviene decir que al principio la comida se puede pegar. Basta con leer las instrucciones y ver los videos en la pagina de Staub para darse cuenta de que es solo al cabo de un tiempo que se forma en la superficie de abajo una capa de residuo grasiento que hace que no se pegue mas la comida. Es una olla que mejora con el tiempo (como todas las de acero fundido), no como las recubiertas de teflon que empeoran. Por ponerle una pega, dire que pesa mucho. Pero eso es inevitable dado el material y las dimensiones, y sabia lo que me iba a llevar entre manos...

I don’t know why is the colour so dark but is nice overall

perfect as long as you got one with good price....

Tencere 28 cm. çapında olduğu için bir kuzu kolu yalnızca iki parçaya bölerek mühürleyip pişirebilecek ya da bütün bir tavuğu hiç bölmeden soğan, patates vs. ile birlikte pişirebilecek kadar hacim sağlıyor. Fırında kullandığımda içinde ekmek pişirmek de elimdeki daha küçük modeline (24 cm çapındakine) göre kolay oldu. Özellikle hamuru kızgın tencereye koyarken hacminin geniş olması elimi yakmadan hamuru tencereye bırakmama imkan tanıdı. Üründen genel olarak memnun kaldım. Alacak kişinin tencerenin boş halinin bile 8 kilogram civarında olduğunu, içine yemek konduğunda bunun 10 kilograma kadar çıkabildiğini aklında bulundurması gerek. Tencereyi yerinden oynatmak ve hatta yıkamak herkese kolay gelmeyebilir.
