STAUB1004228 Cast Iron Cocotte, Cherry, 30 cm

I choose Staub over LeCrueset for the legendary tight fitting lid. Mine rocks, it would be fine on a $50 Lodge, I expect more from Staub. Also there is a bubble in the enamel on the rim, see photos. The advertising pics show full enamel all around the handles too, mine has almost no enamel on inside of handles, see pics.Will update when I have had a chance to cook several dishes and can advise on performance. Intial impressions are not great though.So far I have cooked, Beef roast, boeuf bourguignon, Turkey en cocotte, chicken a few different ways, and a couple pork dishes, no soups, breads or casseroles. The performance has been very good. I remain disappointed the lid rocks, and if I want a tight seal I place foil over the top then put the lid on, same as with a cheap Dutch Oven. Clean up has been excellent (I haven't burned anything yet though) and we don't find the dark interior to make cleaning difficult.Overall, it's a beautiful pot if you aren't looking for flaws, and the performance is certainly there. For the cost increase of "Genuine French Cast Iron ™" you may find the flaws I have found to be problematic.

I did some research before I purchased and it was between Staub and Le Creuset. I wanted a large dutch oven for stews and soups that would cook evenly. The patented lid with its unique bubbles and tight fit keep moisture in to allow for self basting. It browns dishes well. I also appreciated it arrived ready to use and I did not have to oil it before the first use. I am very happy with my purchase.

Does all that I need. No more limits

cela fait longtemps que j'en revais, elle est super ! grande, lourde, cuisson parfaite

やはりホウロウ鍋の頂点ではないだろうか。今まで〇ルーゼ党だった私ですが…使用感ではストウブが一枚上手のような感じがします。何が違うって？やはり蓋ですね。この蓋が圧倒的な差です。吹きこぼれは両者若干ありますが、ストウブは跳ね返ってる感じです。それゆえか、素材の煮え方がすこし違って感じます。同じブロッコリーでもストウブのほうがおいしく茹でれる感じです。ほんのすこしですよ。でもその差が伝えたいだけ。デザインや名前のかっこよさで選ぶのもいいけど、結局私はストウブ…次買うのもストウブにしようと思います。ご参考になれば。

Une cocotte sans défaut, superbe, que nous avons déjà utilisé 4 fois pour de bons petits plats mijotés à feu doux ; le système de picots exclusif staub sous le couvercle est efficace. Félicitations pour l'emballage, et le respect des délais de livraison. MErci beaucoup.
