Cast Iron 5.5-qt Round Cocotte, Serves 5-6, Made in France, Turquoise

This is the best 4qt dutch oven. It resists chipping and scratching like crazy. It has been through some rough moments with little accidents with no harm done. I have other enameled cast iron cookware but I have to be extremely careful with when using them as they will chip easily with a good bang. Staub enameled cookware is a strudy and hardy product that can be used everyday and still look brand new. It is heavy but that is pretty standard with all cast iron products. I find that cleaning it is very easy with a soak and soft sponge. I use it for cooking and bread baking. It is a pretty color and it works very well. It is a pricey pot but worth every penny. If you time it well you can buy one deeply discounted. I could have paid 125$ more for the pot at it's regular price at Crate and Barrel or William Sonoma. I am thrilled with the pot and price point sale at Amazon. You can't go wrong with a Staub Dutch Oven. I am so happy with it my 4 qt that I am looking at finding a Turquoise Staub tall 5qt dutch oven as well. The search goes on.

I love this cast iron pan. You don't have to mess with pretreating & so far I haven't seen anything stick to it. It is built well & should last a life time.

So pretty and great quality.

Very heavy. I almost sent it back. However, when I made vegetable stew in it, it cooked so evenly, didn't run dry and burn and I kept it. Also, cleaning by hand was a breeze. It is a stellar cooking item to add to your kitchen if you can get used to the weight. I'm elderly and have arthritis and bad back, so if you're careful and mindful, this is a jewel.

I needed a smaller Dutch oven that would fit in my new Breville oven, so I bought this four quart pan. I absolutely love this piece! I bought the Dutch oven in turquoise and was really surprised at how beautiful it is. This is my second cast iron pan from Staub and it won’t be my last. I have cooked some awesome dishes in this! The black non-stick surface works well to quickly brown food, creating flavor that can only be achieved with a fine pan. I plan to take good care of my Dutch oven by using silicone or wooden utensils only. There are plastic spacers that come with the pan that keep the top from moving around and chipping the surface. Even though you can technically put the pan in the dishwasher, I wash the pan by hand, to prevent rust, even though it probably would never rust because of the enamel coating. Clean up is easy because of the non-stick enamel surface. Staub is a great company that puts out a durable product and I truly believe that this Dutch oven will last a lifetime.

Can't go wrong purchasing a staub product. They are made to last.

Love the color. It’s small enough to make stuff for 3 people. It’s made well, the weight is great, and it’s versatile. You can make so many things in it and is a great space saver. It’s not too big.

This little thing is beautiful and performing good , especially with stews. However, after less than 30 uses, the enamel is chipped. I expect that they will last longer than my life since it is such an expensive and luxurious cookware brand which is reputed for its quality. Very disappointed. And the customer service agent said I have to pay for the shipment for the chipped pan to return for inspection. Yes, you’re right, for inspection. We live in west coast and the return location is in east coast. I’m gonna spend half or more of the price to ship it back for inspection.
