About the Staub 2.25-Quart Essential French Oven

The Staub Essential French Oven is a 2.25-quart round enameled cast-iron cocotte in matte black, sized for small-batch braising, simmering and reducing. Its heavy tight-fitting lid has a textured, self-basting interior that returns moisture to the food, and the matte enamel exterior goes from oven to table. At $159.95 at Kitchen Universe as of November 8, 2026, it sits at the low end of what this size has sold for recently, with only two stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is $159.95 a good price for this French oven?
It is at the low end of its recent range. Kitchen Universe listed it at $159.95 as of November 8, 2026, and only two stores price it new, so it rarely drops much below this.
How many people does 2.25 quarts serve?
About two main-course servings, or side dishes for a small crowd. It is a small cocotte, not a family-size one.
Can it go in the oven and on the stove?
Yes. Enameled cast iron works on the stovetop and in the oven, and it is suited to braising, simmering and reducing.
Is it dishwasher safe?
No. Staub recommends hand washing this piece, which also protects the matte enamel finish.
How does it compare to a 5.5-quart Staub?
It cooks the same way but holds roughly half as much. Choose the 2.25-quart for one or two people and the larger size for families.
What is in the box?
The French oven and its matching lid. No additional accessories are included.
