Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Staub 7 Quart Oval Cocotte, GrenadineCustomer Review: Beautiful and Fabulous! Summary: 5 Stars
I've had the 7 quart Staub oval cocotte for a few weeks now, but it was too hot to cook anything stew-like until this week. Tonight I finally tried it out with a recipe for Chicken Stew with Winter Vegetables that I've been cooking for a good 10 years now. A classic Pierre Franey recipe. My old Le Creuset 5.5 quart French oven was never quite large enough. The Staub performed to perfection. It large enough to accommodate a large cut-up chicken and a ton of veggies with room to spare. It came up to a brisk simmer very quickly, and maintained the heat when I turned the heat to very low. The lid performs exactly as advertised. It seals completely. Not a wisp of steam came out of the pot. The spikes on the underside of the lid condensed the steam into moisture and cooked those vegetables at the top of the stew that were not completely submerged in the broth perfectly. My old Le Creuset would leave some of those veggies half-cooked while the rest were overdone. The veggies in this stew were all the same toothsome consistency.
I haven't tried to brown anything yet, but I am very impressed at the broad bottom surface that looks like it will accommodate a lot of meat at once. Very nicely designed.
Finally, the Staub is just gorgeous to look at. I know that how a pot cooks is more important than its looks, but, let's face it, we home cooks enjoy admiring our equipment. I bought the grenadine color and it is a really amazing shade of deep wine red, and the glaze is very glossy. It's just a pleasure to show off. I have a feeling that Staub may be discontinuing this color, because I got it for $199 on another site and now it is $203 on Amazon while the other colors are $239. So this color is a fantastic value if you buy it here or look around for a special.
Description of Staub 7 Quart Oval Cocotte, GrenadineThe Staub journey begins in Alsace, France. Rich in history, food, and craft, it is a region renowned for hearty one-pot recipes. Staub has been producing the best cast iron products for professional and aspiring cooks since 1974. Staub?s 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. 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 handy 7-quart oval cocotte with lemon-rosemary chicken, a medley of garden vegetables, or hearty cioppino to turn out delicious, easy meals. 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 From the Manufacturer . | Why Cast Iron? - Retains and redistributes heat for long periods of time
