The Staub 4-quart round Dutch oven is an enameled cast iron pot made in France, sized for smaller households and for side dishes, bread and braises. Its matte black enamel interior needs no seasoning and browns meat well, and the spiked lid returns condensation onto the food. Against Le Creuset it is heavier and darker inside, which hides stains but makes it harder to watch browning; owners rate it highly for heat retention and even cooking.

Owners rate it 4.7 out of 5 and praise its heat retention, browning and the self-basting lid. Complaints center on the weight and on cleaning the matte interior.
This 4-quart round Dutch oven is made of enameled cast iron in cherry red. It holds heat well and goes from oven to table. The textured black matte enamel interior needs no seasoning and helps food brown, while keeping heat steady and even.
The heavy, tight-fitting lid has a nickel-plated knob and helps retain moisture. Spikes under the lid create a rain-forest effect that returns juices evenly onto the food. The smooth enamel base works on all stovetops, including induction, up to 500°.
It is made in France. It is dishwasher safe, though hand-washing is recommended.
