Staub Cast Iron 4-qt Round Cocotte - Basil

I absolutely love how beautiful this Dutch oven is! The cherry color is gorgeous, and the size is perfect for my kitchen. It feels very sturdy and well-made, and the overall design is even prettier in person. I'm really looking forward to cooking with it and trying out some new recipes. Such a beautiful addition to my kitchen!

I've always admired Staub products, and we've had quite a few of another well-known French brand (LC) that my wife inherited from her Mom. Having said that, I wanted something that WE chose and I've always liked the features of Staub Dutch ovens over the competition for various reasons. The Staub workmanship seems impeccable, and the dark blue finish, along with an incredible price from our local retailer was irresistible. So I purchased it today, with my wife looking approvingly. hehe....anyways, though I've yet to use it (just got it today) we have friends with this brand, so I'm well-aware of Staub performance. I like the Staub black interior too, vs the competition's white interiors...but I must say, manly man I am, I PUSHED the purchase of this, and not my wife. hehe. All my own doing after seeing this thing at the local store twice this week....little did I know it was the last one in Dark Blue they had. So now my prize is sitting, unboxed, ready for its first wash before I make homemade chili in it this week. I also purchased it because it's the perfect size for Sourdough bread, which I'm getting into making. So many uses for this striking dutch oven, and the perfect size for two.

We love this pot. We use it to braise meats, stews, cook soups, even bake! It cooks even and heat well. Easy to use. I coat it with oil after every wash.

The most functional, exquisite, and effective piece of cast iron cookware I’ve ever worked with.

I love my Staub! This is the 2nd dutch oven I have. I have the 7 quart and now the 4 quart. This 4 quart is perfect for smaller batches of soup for the three of us. Plus, I have used it to make amazing Artisan bread! I love how functional it is and it is beautiful!

I love the color and size, perfect for smaller meals for 2-4. Great quality, nice addition to my kitchen.

Perfect in every way. Excellent quality and why I have purchased again and love Staub products. The 4 qt is a perfect size for me because I cook for 2-3 people.

Love it. One of my most used items in my Staub collection.

Secret to effective braising is a porcelain coated, heavy duty cast iron cooking vessel with a tight fitting lid. Lately, there have been many cheap “knock offs” available that look like Staub, feel heavy enough to be like Staub but fail due to poor fitting lids. Staub’s lids fit tightly and allow you to create the cooking environment inside the cooking vessel you need to properly braise. Get Staub, you won’t be disappointed!

Must have for any kitchen.Great for stews, roast and chicken. Cleaned up and maintenance is easy, just follow the directions for cleaning and proper seasoning of the pot.

Solid build, classic look, good company, like the color also.

Wish I could use this piece to cook everything in! Will certainly be purchasing a larger size in the near future to cook even more meals!

Love the color. Great for artisan bread. Perfect size.

I’ve wanted one of these Dutch ovens for a long time and couldn’t pass up the sale price. I made chili and this pot made it so simple for using one pot. It browned perfectly, simmering the ingredients keeping them moist and flavors blending. Great craftsmanship, easy to clean, color matches my kitchen, great product!

I bought this mainly to make rice, and honestly… I wish I had bought it sooner. It has quickly become one of my favorite pots in the kitchen. The heat retention is amazing. Once it heats up, it stays hot and cooks the rice very evenly. When I make Korean-style pot rice, the grains turn out fluffy and moist, and the bottom gets that perfect crispy layer. It seriously makes the rice taste better than a regular rice cooker. My husband loves rice, and every time I use this pot he says the rice tastes so good 😊 It’s now the pot I reach for most often. The lid is another thing I love. It keeps moisture inside so the food stays tender and flavorful, which makes it great not only for rice but also for stews and braised dishes. It’s also beautiful enough to bring straight to the table for serving. The only downside is the weight—it’s definitely heavy. But once you get used to it, the quality and cooking results make it totally worth it.

The capacity is medium in size that i used it for vairous cooking that fits for a small fmaily or lager family!

The most Beautiful Green! Just what I wanted!!!!!!

Staub quality and beauty for amazing food and a starter to the collection

Fantastic Cocotte, it’s great when I don’t need the capacity of my 7 quart sapphire blue Cocotte. The finish on these products are amazing, the photos on the website do not do them justice.

I wanted one of these for a long time. Couldn’t believe the sale price. Excellent pot for little things. Arrived quickly and packaged well.
