The Staub 5.5-quart cocotte is an enameled cast iron Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid and self-basting spikes underneath it. Cast iron holds heat and spreads it evenly, so it suits braises, stews, soups and no-knead bread, and it moves from oven to table. Against Le Creuset it is the closest rival: both are French enameled cast iron built to last, but Staub's dark interior hides stains and its lid spikes are its signature. Owners rate it 4.9 out of 5 across 69 ratings, praising browning and heat retention.

This is a 5.5-quart enameled cast iron cocotte with a lid, also called a Dutch oven, from STAUB. 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, creating a rain-forest effect.
The pot goes from the oven to the table, so you can cook and serve in the same dish. STAUB cookware has French culinary roots.
