Our take on the Staub Enameled Cast Iron 5 Qt. Essential French Oven

The Staub Essential French Oven is a 5-quart enameled cast iron pot with a wide, shallow shape and a domed lid. It is oven-safe to 500°F and works on gas, electric and induction cooktops. Its black matte enamel interior needs no seasoning and resists staining. It sits well below Staub's usual 5-quart pricing, which often runs $300 or more.

Questions and answers

Does the black interior need seasoning?
No. The matte black enamel is ready to use out of the box and does not require seasoning like bare cast iron.
Can it go in the oven and on the stovetop?
Yes. It is oven-safe to 500°F and works on gas, electric and induction cooktops, so you can sear on the stove and finish in the oven.
How does it differ from a Staub round cocotte?
It is wider and shallower, which gives more surface area for searing and fits a whole chicken, but it takes up more burner and oven space.
Is it dishwasher safe?
No. Staub recommends hand washing to protect the enamel finish.
What size crowd does 5 quarts serve?
It suits 3 to 5 people for stews, braises and roasts, and fits a whole chicken.
