The Staub 5.5QT Round Dutch Oven is an enameled cast iron cocotte made in France, sized for stews, braises and soups for four to six people. Its standout feature is the matte black enamel interior, which browns meat without the pale staining that shows on light-enameled pots, plus a spiked lid that drips condensation back over the food. Against Le Creuset it trades the glossy light interior for a dark one and a heavier, tighter lid; owners tend to praise browning and moisture retention and note the weight.

Owners rate the Staub highly for even heat, deep browning and a lid that keeps braises moist. Many call it their most-used pot and a worthy heirloom. The main complaints are weight and the care the dark enamel needs.
This Staub round Dutch oven (cocotte) is made of enameled cast iron in France. Cast iron holds heat well, so the pot heats evenly throughout. It is used for slow-cooking meats and vegetables and for simmering stews and soups.
The heavy, tight-fitting lid retains moisture. Small spikes on the underside of the lid return condensed liquid to the food. The interior has a matte black enamel texture that aids browning and braising. The smooth enamel bottom works on all stovetops, and the enamel finish lets the pot go from kitchen to table.
The lid has a nickel steel knob. The pot is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended.
