Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Staub 5-Quart Round Cocotte, Grenadine
Customer Review: Best Enameled cast Iron Cocotte ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the 5 Quart to try when it was a lightning deal on Amazon and was highly impressed. Not only does it look better than Le Creuset it performs better. The lid fits better and the color is outstanding: grenadine in my case. Staub is a little heavier than Le Creuset but I think this speaks about Staub's quality. And speaking of Amazon, I had a problem with a 8 quart I bought. They replaced it free with no hassles. This is serious cookware. I highly recommend Staub and Amazon.Customer Review: Perfect for 1 or 2 people
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the 2nd Cocotte (dutch oven to me) of this size that I have purchased through amazon. I use the first and have given this one to an elderly friend. Coupled with the cookbook, "Glorious One-Pot Meals," I can create a meal that is nutritious and gives me 3 days worth with less than 1/2 hour preparation and 45 minutes in my oven.Customer Review: Meats fall off the bone
Summary: 5 Stars
I've cooked chicken, beef and pork on this pot and it cooks it very tender without falling apart like pressure cookers do. The self-basting technology makes the meat taste more flavourful. I got another 7 quart oval one from the recent sale and intend to make full use of it as well.Customer Review: Beautiful workhorse!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit, having used Le Creuset for years, I didn't hold out much hope that this pot - gifted to me - could possibly be an improvement. The things that I value in an enameled pot were there: heavy enameled, cast iron construction; oven-proof handle; even heat distribution; gas stove-top to oven ease. But that lid? It just didn't seem like it would make that much difference. Boy! Am I happy to be proved wrong!
This pot has out-performed my Le Creuset repeatedly in the two weeks that I've put it through its paces. Saut?eing, braising, stewing, oven-baked casseroles, soup; you name it, this pot has done an exceptional job. Those little bumps on the lid keep everything so much more moist. Also, there is virtually no loss of liquid volume with the lid on. It's an incredibly tight seal. The clean-up is a breeze! And, esthetically, the grenadine glaze is gorgeous!
It is so worth the price, I just purchased the 8 quart round Cocotte for large-batch cooking. I'm definitely a convert!
