The Staub Round Cocotte is a 7-quart enameled cast iron Dutch oven made in France, sized to serve roughly 5 to 7 people. Its black matte enamel interior is built for hard searing and browning and needs no seasoning, and the spiked lid is designed to drip condensation back over the food. It is oven safe to 500°F and works on all stovetops, including induction. Against Le Creuset's light enamel interior, the Staub's dark surface hides stains and browns meat aggressively, while the light interior makes it easier to watch fond develop; both are heavy, heat-retaining pots in the same class.
