Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Staub 5-Quart Round Cocotte, BlueCustomer Review: Inspect on receipt... Summary: 4 Stars
We bought a few of these for gifts for close friends. One of the pots and one of the lids had unacceptable defects in the enamel finish so we ended up making some returns. Not sure how the quality defects managed to make it past the factory door.
The remaining items were in good condition and will be well appreciated by the recipients, I'm sure.
Description of Staub 5-Quart Round Cocotte, BlueThe French oven is a timeless standby for stews, roasts, soups, casseroles and other one-pot classics. Staub has perfected this tradition in our signature "La Cocotte" French Oven, the choice of some of the world's best chefs. The traditional round design has self basting spikes for continuous, natural basting. When your meal is ready, La Cocotte moves beautifully from the stove to your table. An inspired fusion of old and new, function and style, Staub's La Cocotte French ovens are destined to be lifelong members of any kitchen. Fill this 5-quart round cocotte with seasonal vegetables, cubed meat, and fragrant herbs, and the family will perk up as the mouth-watering aroma of a hearty supper wafts through the house. Or why not try the same trick with sugared apples and a buttery crumble topping at a party? Crafted of enameled cast iron for uniform warming and superior heat retention, the heavyweight cocotte performs best at low to medium temperatures over longer time periods so flavors intensify and foods stay scrumptiously moist. The interior features a black matte finish that is almost indestructible and doesn't need seasoning; rather, the oils produced in cooking seep into the surface pores to create an organic nonstick coating. The rougher matte also browns, braises, and reduces better than a shiny polished glaze. In a clever use of modern technology, the cocotte's tight-fitting lid is studded with computer-designed spikes that catch and release steam to self-baste the entire surface of the meal. As handsome as it is hardworking, this vessel is fitted with a solid stainless-steel or brass finial that is generously sized for easy lifting and oven-safe to 600 degrees F. The exterior enamel also comes in a variety of fashionable colors that coordinate with other Staub cookware and offer an always-fresh serving appeal-go with a clean monochromatic look or mix up rich tones for a layered presentation. Cast in a single-use sand mold, each piece has its own subtle variations to make it truly unique, and the Staub name is molded into the lid and side handles for a fun rustic touch. The double-coated enamel resists chips and rust, and the smooth bottom is suitable for any cooking or dining surface. The cocotte goes safely into the dishwasher, though hand washing is recommended for heavy use, and it's backed by a lifetime limited warranty. --Kara Karll
