Is the glass lid oven-safe?

The lid is tempered borosilicate glass, which handles oven heat but not the highest broiler temperatures. Check the brand's stated lid temperature limit before high-heat roasting.

How does it compare with the cast-iron-lid cocotte?

The pot body is the same cast iron. The glass lid lets you see inside but is less suited to very high oven heat than the all-iron version.

What size is the 4-quart cocotte good for?

Four quarts suits stews, soups and braises for about two to four people, and it fits a whole small chicken.

Can I use it on the stovetop?

Yes, the cast-iron cocotte works on most stovetops, including induction, for browning before oven cooking.

How should I clean it?

The enameled cast-iron body washes by hand or in the dishwasher, though hand washing protects the finish. The glass lid is best washed by hand.

The cocotte and its tempered glass lid. No trivet or additional accessories are included.

Our take on the Staub Cast Iron 4-qt Round Cocotte with Glass Lid

The Staub 4-qt round cocotte is a black cast-iron Dutch oven topped with a tempered glass lid instead of the usual heavy cast-iron one. The glass lets you watch braises and stews without lifting the lid, and the cast-iron body holds and spreads heat evenly for slow cooking. It suits small households and anyone who wants to monitor a dish while it cooks. Against enameled cast-iron rivals with iron lids, it trades some oven-safe lid performance for visibility, and the glass lid is the main point of debate among owners.

About the Staub Cast Iron 4-qt Round Cocotte with Glass Lid

The STAUB 4-qt round cocotte is made of cast iron and comes with a glass lid. It is used for slow-cooking meats and vegetables and for simmering stews and soups. Cast iron retains heat, so the pot heats evenly throughout.

The heavy, tight-fitting lid is made of borosilicate tempered glass and retains moisture during cooking. The cocotte goes from the oven to the table, so food can be cooked and served in the same dish.

STAUB cookware is rooted in French culinary heritage. The line is offered in matte colors or in a Majolique enameled finish, which uses a three-step technique to give the color depth.
