Staub Cocotte Round 26cm Grenadine Red

The 5.5qt cocotte is probably the most popular size due to its versatility. Great for all your soups, stews and chili but can also hold a whole chicken and a large roast. If you only buy one cast iron pot this one will give you an exceptional cooking experience every time. Made in France, Staub cast iron is surrounded by 3 layers on enamel on the interior and 3 layers of a beautiful glaze on the exterior. No need to season these pots and they can even go in the dishwasher if necessary. Interior is slightly textured for a perfect brown or sear and easy release. The lids have continuous basting beads for a consistently moist environment during cooking. No wonder restaurants prefer to cook in Staub. This pot will not disappoint.

A perfect experience

Perfect cocotte in perfect condition. Our Staub was shipped quickly and arrived within the week, I live in rural BC and had to get it shipped to a central Post Office with a P.O. box. Some places (especially non-Canadian) won't ship here with a P.O. so I am especially pleased. So all you rural Canadians out there wanting to make good soup with fantastic products, order from Consiglio's

Bravo to Chefsupplies

I was delighted to find out that Chefsupplies had in stock the Staub Cocotte that I dreamed of, I could not find it anywhere else. I was amazed by the free shipping considering the weight of the cocotte. Then even more amazed by how fast it was delivered. In perfect condition. I love cooking with it, what a treasure.

Every home needs this cocotte!

This is the most versatile piece of cookware in my kitchen. Suitable for just about any recipe. The interior has a textured enameling rather than a slick enameling resulting in superior browning abilities. The enamel also allows for acidic foods, like my grandmother's Sunday bolognese sauce, to be made without the fear of interacting with the cast iron. The basting spikes on the under side of the lid are incredible, I can cook a roast in the oven and not have to baste the meat while it's cooking, the Staub cocotte does it for me!! The 4 quart capacity is suitable for preparing meals for 2 - 4 people. Do yourself a favor, get this piece for your kitchen, you will love how well it performs! Make the job of cooking enjoyable rather than a daily chore AND add a ... MoreThis is the most versatile piece of cookware in my kitchen. Suitable for just about any recipe.

Love

This is a beautiful pot! It’s heavy, but the quality is superb.This size is big enough for my family of 4. Everything I cook comes out better with this. It’s easy to clean and nothing sticks. Once you get used to controlling the heating (mid to mid-high) you’ll get better tasting dishes with this pot.

Love the bright , cherry

Love the bright , cherry red colour . Perfect size to make a stew dinner or soup for 4 , with leftovers .Has cleaned up easily with hot water , a little detergent and soft cloth .Excellent customer service , fast delivery.Highly recommend this product and Consiglio’s.

Perfect gift

A perfect birthday gift for a friend. I had one in my previous home and I have always marveled at his quality and ability to handle a variety of cooking foods and cooking styles. The most important thing is his design and the shine of his appearance. This makes him a perfect birthday gift. I am sure it will keep my friend company within a long time in the future.

Staub Enamel Pot

I love this pot! I have made beef bourguignon and curry in it so far. It surprisingly heats quickly for a large pot. Easy to clean, beautiful color. For some reason though we have found some sort of small white worms on it and inside it twice within the first 2 weeks of use. We killed them the first time by pouring boiling water several times over the entire pot just-in-case. Then they returned. They show up nowhere else in our kitchen. We don't know what they are. Cockroaches don't have a worm or larvae stage so we don't think they are cockroaches. It is strange to only find them on the enamel and nowhere else in our kitchen. My guess is they are from the warehouse the item was housed in. (It was shipped to us from Sur la Table). Otherwise no issues and hope they ... MoreI love this pot!

Top-Tier Performance Cookware

Excellent heat retention and even heating. Beautiful exterior finish, I don't even think about tucking it away in my pantry or cupboard! Very versatile, I have successfully used mine to braise, fry, stew, sauté, cook rice, make stock, bake bread and other things I'm probably forgetting. I got my cocotte about a year ago and it still looks fresh out of the factory. The black matte interior develops no unsightly "seasoning" like the enamelware from Staub's high end French cookware competitor. The "knubs" on the interior of the lid definitely retain more moisture than comparable pots, and sometimes I even have to crack the lid to get more reduction! Cleanup is a breeze, a sponge and some dish soap are usually sufficient and an overnight soak will handle any other mess. ... MoreExcellent heat retention and even heating.

I have also occasionally run the pot through the dishwasher and it looks none the worse for wear. I love my cocotte and would say it's worth every penny as an investment for anyone who likes to cook.

Wonderful Dutch oven. Worth the splurge!

This is my very first Dutch oven. I did tons of research before finally set my eyes on Staub La Cocotte in colour Grenadine. Since I ordered it during the pandemic, the delivery took quite sometimes (about 2 weeks). The items was well packed and there's enough bubble wraps to ensure the safety of the expensive cocotte.The product itself is beautiful. The colour was almost dark cherry colour with nice gloss. I love using this cocotte. So far, I've been using it to make stew, soups, and pulled pork. It's good for searing meat. They always came out with nice beautiful even browning. It also retain heat wonderfully so your food stay warm for a good amount of time.The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars was because I found 2 fingerprint under the glossy paint ... MoreThis is my very first Dutch oven.

It also retain heat wonderfully so your food stay warm for a good amount of time.The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars was because I found 2 fingerprint under the glossy paint right after I unboxed it. At first I thought it's my fingerprints so I washed it thoroughly and wiped it down. But, no other cleaning method worked. The 2 fingerprints still firmly printed on the otherwise perfect cocotte. It didn't affect the cooking results but still for a $400 worth of pot, you will expect top notch products. I try to not look at it everytime I use my cocotte but from time to time, the fingerprints caught my eyes and it bothered me a lot. Also, if you brown your meat and accidentally burnt it in the process, you need an extra elbow grease to clean it! I found the mixture of vinegar and baking soda helped to remove the tough stains. Then I season it like I did with my cast iron skillet. So far, with this method, my cocotte has been looking like it's brand new and less food get stuck during the searing.If you're still thinking of which Dutch oven to get, I recommended this one. You'll love the food that comes out of this beautiful pot!
