Beautiful as well as functional
I am very pleased with my purchase of the Staub 4qt Round Cocotte. The cherry color is so pretty and cheery. I have used the cocotte several times already and am amazed that spaghetti sauce can simmer a long while without sticking to the bottom. It really does heat evenly with no hot spots. This cocotte has rapidly become my favorite piece of cookware.

My Third Staub Cocotte
My others are seven and two quarts. The big one is my workhorse for stews and soups, and the others are perfect when I need the even heating of cast iron combined with the easy cleaning of the Staub finish...which is, pretty much, always. Great brand, and the sale price was excellent.

Everything cooks great in it. Things do stick to it if you don't watch the pot or the heat setting. But it deglazes nicely and is easy to clean.

Absolutely the BEST!
Just love this cocotte and made a classic beef stew that took seven hours to complete. The grass fed stew meat browned beautifully and was as tender as could be. I highly recommend this pot without reservation.

I have always heard and read about the quality of STAUB products. Your sale made it very affordable to finally purchase my first item. The idea of simmering stews,and soups for a long time without food sticking to the bottom and ability to put pot from stove top to oven is very appealing! Can't wait to use it.

Does the enamel chip off easily, especially around the edge of the pot?
BEST ANSWER: i have lots of staub
and have several lids that are chipped and I don't know how it happened. I am really careful. I contacted Henkel and they never responded. Nevertheless, I highly recommend all staub. I use them daily.

Will this pot hold a 6 lb. beef brisket to cook?

do you need to season the cocotte again over time? what is the best oil to use for this?
BEST ANSWER: There is no need to season these types of enameled cast iron (ECI). They are basically glass coated metal, not raw cast iron, so seasoning is not needed to prevent rust. You do however need oil it to avoid having food stick, and since the finish on the inside is matte there are small pores where oil with stick. You can season these, but you don't need to.

Can I cook spaghetti sauce in it, then let it simmer for hours? Thank you
BEST ANSWER: Yes. Depending on your flame, you may have to stir every so often to make sure there is no scorching, but that would be the case with any pan, from cast iron, to all clad, to le creuset. Alternatively you can simmer in a low oven, which eliminates the stirring issue.

I am looking at Staub and Le Creuset Dutch ovens. I have never owned any French cookware. I have a wonderful set of stainless steel kettles as well as two great heavy duty cast iron fry pans that are very old. I would love to get a Dutch oven. My question is. Which brand?
What size? I’m cooking for two sometimes three. Would like to use for artisan bread baking and stews also soup. I have been eyeing this staub on sale for $99 (4 qt). Also looking at Le Creuset deep sided 5 1/2 qt 199$ I have not seen them in person so it’s hard to gauge the quality of each brand. Please advise !

BEST ANSWER: Hello! In response to which brand is best...I have both and I love both! I have cooked with Le Creuset for years and have a larger pot as well as a smaller one. However, I too wanted one for cooking soups and stews for 2-3 people and saw the Staub on sale. I grabbed it because I’ve heard that this brand is good and the price was awesome! It is absolutely perfect for my purposes...cooks wonderfully, is easy to clean and is the most beautiful cherry red color! I actually leave it sitting out on my stove because it is so pretty! The only difference as I see it is that the Staub is a prettier red...the Le Creuset is more of a traditional red. But you can’t go wrong with either brand! I hope this helps!

Care tips please? I own this for more than 2 year and used only three time. Every time it stucks like GLUE and finally becomes impossible to clean. I also tried to season it a couple of time but still not working. Maybe I received a bad product?
BEST ANSWER: I haven't had this problem. I usually cook with butter or olive oil when I use this pan and heat it on medium heat gas before increasing the temperature. The first few times that I used it there was a bit of a white residue that appeared after I hand washed and air dried the pan. This resolved when I added a bit of vegetable oil and rubbed it in with a paper towel. This doesn't seem to happen anymore though and I have never really had an issue with sticking. I love these pans and use them frequently from stovetop to oven.

Can you sear meats on the cooktop with Staub cookware?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it sears nicely in the Staub. If it’s the 4 qt size it may feel a bit cramped depending on whether the meat is a whole chunk or smaller pieces. I’v used my Staub 4qt to braise meat that I first sear in a fry pan and also for cooking beans and soups. It’s a great piece, we’ll made and durable.

does it heat evenly?
BEST ANSWER: The Staub 4qt Round Cocotte is my go to pot for chili, soups, spaghetti sauce. It heats evenly with no "hot spots." I also use a simmer mat underneath. I do season it after each use as a white area appears in the bottom of the pot after washing, which disappears after wiping the inside with oil.

What is the difference between this and a Dutch oven?
BEST ANSWER: I use it as a dutch oven. I think of a dutch oven as any heavy cast iron pot that has an equally heavy lid that traps in the moisture. Many people think of the heavy raw cast iron pots when they think of dutch ovens. This is a heavy cast iron pot but with the awesome bonus of the enamel coating. The enamel coating is non-reactive which means it won't leach and discolor your foods. The stress of cleaning cast iron is eliminated because you can use soap. You don't need to ensure everyone in the house treats it right..it won't rust. I could go on and on about the Staub pots but in short the cast iron/enamel product is wonderful.

How do I know the capacity by looking at the number on the base? I have a cocotte that has “28” stamped on the base.
BEST ANSWER: I think it’s a Staub company code. If you purchase it’s pot you will absolutely love it. The lid has the numbs on it which creates even dripping from condensation from what you are cooking. This will keep even moisture on pot roast, chicken ect. Great investment
