STAUBWa-NABE 40501-010 Wanabe Gray L 20cm Two-Handed Cast Iron Pot, Rice Cooking, 3 Pieces, Induction Compatible

Perfect rice cooker. I ordered this pot 1.66L based on Ivan Orkin's book "Japanese Recipes from a Chef, Father, Eater, and Lifelong Outsider . . " and used his recipe on p. 25 as a guide to make the Nishiki med grain rice that is so popular on Amazon (although he uses short grain), and the rice is perfect! 1.5 C rice or 320 grams, and 1.5 C water or 345 grams. Perfect rice. This pot is also the perfect size. I am quite pleased. It is made in France for the Japanese market, and ships from Japan. It is of exceptional quality andI may say "heirloom quality" as it will outlive me. Definitely worth the price. I was hesitant to purchase because of thr price, I hardly eat rice, but I'm sure I'll find other uses. I have no regrets. I now like this little Staub pot better than my big le Cruset pots! I had never heard of Staub before reading about it in the aforementioned cookbook. I'll be purchasing more Staub for sure. My method for perfect rice on the first try: rinse the rice a few times until water is clear. Put measured rice and water into the Staub pot and allow to sit and soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Bring to gentle boil while uncoverd, (stir 2-4 times while waiting for the gentle boil), cover and reduce heat, cook for 15 minutes, remove from heat and allow to sit, covered, for 10 minutes, remove cover, fluff and eat. Wood or silicone cooking utensils are recommended. No oil or fat was used. Just rice and water.

I have been using the traditional Spanish rice pot my whole life with no issues but after many many years i decided I deserve an upgrade and after some research ordered this pot in the larger size . Which still isn’t that big but ok for 1-4 easy Omg I’m in love ❤️❤️❤️❤️ works well right from the box and looks great . I must say I am a fussy person when it comes to to cookware. I do have other staub and other well made cookware and this one has not let me down so far. I decided to order the one that came from Japan only because I thought the pot was made a tad heavier and would not chip as much as the others , I think I may be right. 🤞 so far I think ordering from Amazon Japan was well worth it. So happy

Great product. I love to use this for cooking. It keeps my food tasty and it is very durable.

Why didn't I get this earlier?! This is a perfect size for 2-3 people. Perfect for stews, rice, porridge, etc.My guess is that this is about 2qt. When I compare 2.75qt, it's just a tad smaller and round on the bottom. I made tofu soup last night and my husband and I enjoyed it just from the pot itself.

I had no idea about the size, so I ordered a size L. I didn't expect that the actual product was not as big as I imagined, but fortunately there was no defect. The color is what I like.

I love love this pot! I don’t have to explain any further for staub pots but this size and shape is what I love more than my other staub. I cook for just two people and this is just a perfect size too.

The finish is sloppy. The rust has been swept away.

Excellent ceramic coated cast iron cookware. Nice to cook in and serve. Food stays hot in cast iron.
