  • Our take on the 5 qt Essential French Oven

    The Staub Essential French Oven is a 5-quart enameled cast iron cocotte built for slow-cooking meats, braising vegetables and simmering stews. Its signature feature is the spiked lid, which drips condensed liquid back over the food for self-basting, and the matte black enamel interior that browns and releases food well. The 5-quart size suits small households and side dishes better than a large crowd. Against Le Creuset, Staub's dark interior hides stains and needs less seasoning fuss, while Le Creuset's lighter interior makes it easier to watch browning. Owners prize the even heat and table-ready looks; the main trade-offs are weight and hand washing.

    About the 5 qt Essential French Oven

    This 5 qt French oven is a cocotte made of enameled cast iron. Cast iron retains heat well, so the pot heats evenly throughout. It is made for slow-cooking meats and vegetables and for simmering stews and soups.

    The lid has small spikes on the interior. They continually release condensed liquid back onto the food, which keeps it moist. The interior has a matte black enamel finish for browning and braising.

    The enamel exterior finish lets the pot go from the kitchen to the table for serving.

    Questions and answers

    What is the spiked lid for?
    The spikes on the lid's underside collect condensation and drip it back onto the food, so the pot bastes itself during long cooking.
    Is it dishwasher safe?
    No. Staub recommends hand washing enameled cast iron to protect the finish.
    How does it compare with Le Creuset?
    Both are enameled cast iron with similar heat performance. Staub's matte black interior hides stains and browns well; Le Creuset's lighter interior makes it easier to see fond.
    What can I cook in 5 quarts?
    Stews, braises, soups and a whole chicken for a small household. It is tight for large batches or big families.
    Does it work on induction?
    Yes. Enameled cast iron works on induction, gas, electric and in the oven.
    Is the interior pre-seasoned?
    The matte black enamel needs no seasoning and is ready to use after washing.
    Where is the 5 qt Essential French Oven cheapest?
    At abc carpet & home, for $229.99, as of our latest check.
