Best of the Best! My favorite cookware
Browning, heat retention, self-basting, evenly cooks, handles are ergonomically easy to use. I love using this piece so much I bought another. The 3.5 quart brazier. My favorites. My only regret is I wish I bought these years ago.

Great with a slight defect
The French oven is wonderful. It holds heat really well and has a beautiful design. I've been able to make sourdough and stock in it with plenty of room. I only rated it a 3 because mine came with a chip in the enamel coating near the rim. It's unfortunate since it came brand new.

Inside coating spotty after only one use.
The inside coating seems not equally distributed. After only 3 uses tho bottom third is very spotty and cannot be removed. Some brown rust like color is visible on the cleaning cloth. I only used dawn dish detergent and a non abrasive sponge for cleaning. The pot was never exposed to very high heat.

Get this.
You won’t need to buy another pot again. This thing does it all. The colour is fantastic and the product is famous for a reason.

Gorgeous in Grenadine
My recent purchase of a cast iron French Dutch Oven is my first in the Staub product line. Absolutely love it! The grenadine color option was so unique online and even more stunning whether in prep on my gas stove or in service atop my table. The pamphlet on proper care is written with clarity. My first use proved its design leads to a tasty meal. Cleanup was a breeze. I will certainly consider purchasing Staub products in the future. Extremely pleased.

Beautiful set!
Love this cookware set! It is a ceramic with a beautiful enamel glaze. I purchased the citron yellow color. The yellow is like a soft lemon color for anyone interested. This set is so easy to clean with the versatility of being able to wash in the dishwasher. It is the perfect size for a family of 2 or 3. The two smaller dishes are the perfect size for small casseroles with the largest covered square dish perfect for a deeper layered dish like lasagna.

Bad customer service!
My Dutch oven got lost in mail and when I asked for an update they said they sent a new one and would send tracking. Never got the tracking number. Received package and it was chipped. Told them about it and said they would send new one and didn’t. Bad customer service for a pricey product!
