Staub Cast Iron 7-qt Round Cocotte - Grenadine, Made in France

Bought this for myself as a treat after wanting one for so long, and am so glad I did! Did some research before purchasing a dutch oven and this one came well recommended. Love the color too. I use it for so much stuff now and it's also easy to clean.

When a cooking pot has you looking forward to what you are going to make next using it, I think that is a sign it is a good choice. This is my fourth Staub (different sizes, of course) and I enjoy each of them equally. I enjoy cooking in them. You can serve your food in them. They are easy to clean. And they are lovely to look at on the display shelf when not in use.Also, shipping was speedy and the pot arrived in perfect condition.

After purchasing the Grenadine frying pan, I wanted to add a cast iron dutch oven to my culinary wish list. Right before planning to host a large dinner party I splurged on this beauty and am so glad that I did. I debated the sizing, as I didn't want something too small for making stocks/broths, but not so large that it's too heavy to grab off the stove and bring to the sink or table. Some advice I'd read about the weight -- most of the heft is the lid, so when you want to transport it full of food, removing the lid will really lighten the load. After a couple of months of usage, I feel this size is just right for making soups, broths, stews for a crowd and more than enough for a smaller family. Even if you're cooking for 2 (and want leftovers) this Staub pot will be wonderful for improving the sauteed veggies, or caramelizing onions, roasting in the oven, or anything else that you can think of.

It's awesome. I love it. The Grenadine color is fantastic

We have come to love this 9qt for cooking. It works well, fast and easy to clean. We Recommend it. The color is beautiful.

Great dutch oven. Love the black inside. No staining. Beef stew, Chili, Sauce etc. all cook and taste so good. We cook at home every day. Thought my pots were good. This is better. Buy Staub. Worth the price or watch for a sale. If you cook like we do go for it. Will not regret.

Expensive but worth the money. If properly cared for, this casserole will last a lifetime.

Cooked two very delicious meals in it already, yum. I's lovely to look at and a joy to use. The color is a dark red which I think is beautiful and looks good on my stove. I use lodge cast iron cookware but for enamel ware I wanted French ware and this oven did not disappoint. Even though it's just two of us I bought the 5qt size and am glad that I did , I considered the 4qt but after looking at the size of the of a 4qt pot I have I knew the 5qt would be the right size for us. When I'm cooking I like to have the right utensils for the job at hand, I don't mind improvising the ingredients because its fun to experiment with recipes but give me the right utensils every time.
