The Staub 4-quart cocotte is an enameled cast iron Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid whose interior spikes drip condensation back onto the food. Cast iron holds heat well and moves from oven or stovetop to the table. It suits braises, stews, soups and no-knead bread for two to four people. Against Le Creuset it is heavier, has a dark interior that hides stains and a flat black lid, and owners rate it highly for even heat and browning.

Owners rate it highly, praising even heat, browning and the self-basting lid. Complaints center on weight and on enamel chipping when the pot is mishandled.
This STAUB cocotte is a 4-quart enameled cast iron Dutch oven with a lid, 24 cm in size. It is made for slow-cooking meat and vegetables and for simmering stews and soups.
Cast iron holds heat well, so the pot heats evenly throughout. The heavy, tight-fitting lid locks in moisture. Small bumps on the inside of the lid return juices evenly onto the food.
The cocotte goes from the oven to the table, so you can cook and serve in the same dish. STAUB is a cookware brand rooted in French culinary heritage.
