- Is the 28 cm size right for a family?
- It holds 6.7 L, enough for stew or chili for four to six people. For one or two people a smaller round oven is easier to handle.
- Does it work on induction?
- Yes. The cast-iron base is compatible with induction, gas, electric coil and smooth-top cooktops.
- Do I need to season it?
- No. The matte black enamel interior needs no seasoning; wash it and start cooking.
- Can it go in the oven and under a broiler?
- It is oven safe to 500°F, including the stainless steel knob. Check your broiler's limits before using it there.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- Staub lists it as dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to protect the enamel finish.
- How does it compare with a Le Creuset Dutch oven?
- Both are enameled cast iron with similar heat performance. Staub is heavier with a darker interior and basting spikes; Le Creuset has a lighter enamel interior that shows browning more clearly.
- Where is the Staub Dutch Oven 28 cm 6.7 L cheapest?
- At Selfridges, for $495.00, as of our latest check.
