Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Staub 8-Quart Round Cocotte, Grenadine
Customer Review: Absolutely the Best!
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I now own three sizes of Staub Cocottes, 2.5 qt., 5 qt., and 8 qt. These are absolutely fantastic for anything from baked beans to pot roast with potatos and carrots. The features we like:
First and foremost is the metal knob on the lid. Before we had the Staub, my wife cooked pot roast in a stainless steel pot with plastic (phenolic) handles. A few times in the oven and the handles look like they're 100 years old. I have worked in the plastic industry for over 35 years and even at temperatures approaching 350 to 400 degrees F there will be eventual damage to the appearance (blisters) and structural integraty of the plastic knob, they will not however, as some have stated, melt. La Creuset sells a metal knob as a replacement, but why not just get a metal knob from the beginning?
Secondly, those little nibs on the underside of the lid, seem to do a great job of keeping everything moist. The pot roast turned out the best it's ever tasted, and my wife has been cooking this for many years. It's a great feature and one that many lower cost Dutch Ovens have coppied to some degree.
The black matt enameled interior is another great feature. It cleans easily and doesn't show any stains from cooking. I believe this is particularly important if you intend to use your baking dish as your serving dish.
Lastly, the colors of the Staub cocotte are in our opinion much more attractive. This is a matter of personal taste, but we like the deep rich grenadine color with it's translucent qualities far better than the opaque reds of competive products. We also favor the other Staub colors to those of the competion.
We have been extremely pleased with our Staub purchases and unlike the low priced stuff, this is not made in China where you have to be concerned about what you're cooking in, cadmium, lead, etc.
Description of Staub 8-Quart Round Cocotte, Grenadine
The 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."Cocotte" in French means "casserole," but there are a multitude of dishes that emerge delectably from Staub's signature French oven. This attractive 8-quart cocotte, available in an array of rich colors, is an ideal choice for slow-cooked stews and soups, casseroles, and roasted meats, as well as many other one-pot meals. Measuring 12-1/2 inches in diameter, the cocotte is constructed of durable cast iron with a black matte enameled interior and an enameled ceramic finish that extends to the pot and lid edges to prevent chipping and rusting. And with its decorative design, it serves as beautifully as it cooks.
Designed for oven or stovetop use, the cocotte features a smooth, heavy earthenware base that will never warp and can handle any cooking surface, including glass, induction, and convection. Like the pot itself, the handles and lid are cast iron for durability and even heat distribution and retention (handles and brass or stainless steel lid knobs do get hot, so use caution). The lid features innovative self-basting spikes to continually redistribute juices back to the ingredients as they cook. The black-matte enameled interior doesn't need seasoning and, as cooking oils seep into the pores over time, will become a self-seasoned, non-stick surface. Oven-safe to 500 degrees F, Staub's French oven doesn't need high heat and so should be used on low to medium settings. For best care, use with silicone or wooden utensils and wash by hand with non-abrasive cleaners. The cocotte comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Made in France.
