Description
Staub enameled cast iron cookware is the top choice for chefs and home cooks alike. Rooted in French culinary heritage, Staub's renowned cocottes are timeless pieces, perfect for casual meals or sumptuous suppers. The Essential French Oven with Chistera lid is the latest star in the cast iron collection. Like Staub's signature flat lid, the domed Chistera lid has excellent self-basting properties. Usually, a convex lid causes condensation to fall to the sides. The innovative, Chistera drop-structure lid solves this problem by putting a twist on traditional spikes. Moisture cascades from the whole lid. This continuous basting guarantees delectable roast chicken and braised short ribs. What inspired this original design? Basque pelota players use wicker basket chisteras to scoop up balls and hurl them quickly. Under Staub's new lids, the chistera-shaped curves gather condensation to shower moisture upon the delicious dish that simmers inside.

Perfection
This is my favorite Dutch oven. I have several Dutch ovens. But this one is absolutely perfect. It is not too big and it is not too small. You can cook a lot of food in this but it never feels super heavy. The curved sides, make stirring easier. This sautées, braises, and fries beautifully. The self-basting lid makes every meal more flavorful. It is easy to clean. Nothing sticks and there are never any stains that are a challenge to get rid of, unlike Le Creuset. Plus, the shade grenadine with the majolic paint is exquisitely, beautiful.

Beautiful and functional
I was lucky to score one in a sale. It supposedly had minor imperfections. I didn’t see any but promptly put a chip on it when it slipped from my hands in the sink. Oh, well. It is still drop dead gorgeous, the perfect size for me and I love cooking with it.

Never going back
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had cheaper versions of this type of cookware, after trying the real thing I am never going back. With Staub’s quality I doubt I will ever need another anyway.

Great dish for all this one pot dinners
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cast iron oven is great for one pot meals. It goes from stove top to oven with ease and is able to hold enough for a family of 4-6. The cast iron is sturdy and the enamel finish makes cleanup a breeze.

Just perfect
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re reading this, you know about the unparalleled Staub quality. I own quite a few pieces but this one is the workhorse the kitchen, due to the perfect size. Hard boil some eggs? Check. Make a batch of soup for 2 or 3? Yup. Cook some noodles or spinach as a side dish? Perfect. Not too heavy so that it is cumbersome for this 60 year old. You won’t regret it!

Best Investment
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the classic color. This is my 2nd purchase of Staub. I chose this one over coccote this time. I find the bottom shape easier to stir into. So happy with this purchase knowing that I can hand this down to my daughter and possibly last a lifetime.

Beautiful addition to my kitchen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The French Oven compared to my 4 quart Dutch oven is a bit lighter. The grenadine color is stubbing and the overall finish is stunning. I will be using this daily for soups, rice and cooking meat. Love that I can serve out of this pot and the food stays hot

My second cocotte!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a 4qt cocotte in 2020 and I love it. When I saw this one with a rounded bottom, I decided to get this one as well. I love the rounded bottom, it will make stir frying easier (I haven’t used it yet). I just washed it and can’t wait to start using it! I thought buying a second one would be good so I can use one to make a stew while I’m baking a bread in the other one. I might come up with another reason to get myself a third one one day… I love the self-basting effect of the lid and the black enamel coat. I’ve seen people’s used Le Creuset’s enamel all cracked… I won’t have to worry about that with this black enamel coat of Staub’s!

Painful to clean
It’s a real pain In the neck to clean, so I don’t use it. But it’s pretty on my stove top.
