Our take on the Staub Cast Iron Essential French Oven Dutch Oven

The Staub Essential French Oven is a 5-quart enameled cast iron Dutch oven made in France, sized to serve 5 to 6. It stands out for its matte black finish, horse-motif lid and Staub's self-basting spikes under the lid. The best new price is $229.95 at Lowe's as of November 4, 2026, with 7 stores listing it new; that sits near the low end of what this size typically sells for, since Staub 5-quart ovens usually run $250 to $400 depending on color and trim.
