Staub Cast Iron Essential Oven, 3.75 Qt

The Essential Oven is wider and shallower than a classic cocotte, so more of the food sits on the hot base. That makes it ideal for searing then braising chicken thighs, simmering a one-pot pasta or baking a gratin. At 3.75 quarts it suits two to four people, and it looks good enough to bring straight to the table.

Why cooks choose it

Wide, low shape. It browns more food at once and reduces sauces quickly.

Self-basting lid. Spikes under the heavy, tight-fitting lid keep returning moisture and flavor to the food.

Black matte interior. It needs no seasoning, won't react with acidic foods and builds a natural non-stick surface with use.

Oven-ready. The stainless steel knob is oven-safe to 500°F.
