Staub Cast Iron Roaster/Cocotte, Oval 31 cm, 5.5 L, La Mer
With the la mer Cocotte from Staub, you serve meals in a cooking vessel, which offers you numerous preparation possibilities. The cocotte is made of cast iron. On the inside there is a matt black enamel coating, which creates a pleasant toasty roast when searing food. The cast-iron, oval roasting pan stores the heat and releases it slowly and evenly. So the food is cooked very gently. On the table the cocotte keeps already served dishes warm for a long time. At the same time, the roaster is also suitable for cooling desserts, as it not only stores heat but also cools, so it keeps your desserts fresh for a long time. The oval cocotte with handles has a length of 37.5 cm, is 31 cm wide and 16.7 cm high with lid. The capacity amounts to altogether 5.5 l. You can use the cocotte on all heat sources, including induction fields. Two handles make transport easier. A special drop structure in the lid creates a self-humidifying system that gently irrigates your dishes with condensation and makes meat tender. With the practical casserole from the La Cocotte series, you have a noble and practical roasting pan on hand, with which you can fully live out your creativity in cooking.

The finish on this is a bit rougher than expected at this price point. The upper edge where the lid touches feels a bit too grindy for something that is enameled. Even my Lodge doesn't have that kind of grind to it. I would have gone with the other big name but it was just way over the top too much for what it is, even this on sale was a stretch. Then there is the lid. Everyone said the lid had a tight seal. It doesn't, it slides around a pretty good ways on top of the pot. In fact, I don't see how this thing is going to keep any moisture in it with that kind of slop in the lid.I do like the lid design with the basting bumps on it, the bottom of the pot being less rounded and more right angled at the edges, the handles provide a bigger loop than my old one, and ... MoreThe finish on this is a bit rougher than expected at this price point.

No. The finish on it is simply not up to any standard that would match the price point and the lid is a loose, sloppy mess that grinds on the rim which is sure to wear the enamel off in short order and make this a total loss instead of a buy it for life pot. Complete pass.

I bought this 4qt cocotte in French blue during the Black Friday sale. I already owned a Le Creuset 5.5qt and 7.25qt Dutch oven but the price for Staub was so good here at Sur la table that I just couldn't resist. This size is perfect when cooking smaller batches. I usually end up with about 3 generous portions of food which is great because I eat one immediately, have another portion for the next day and end up freezing the third for those days when I don't feel like cooking. If I compare it to Le Creuset I honestly can't say a single negative thing about either. Both are of the highest quality cookware that is out there. The main difference is the interior color and the lid and knob design. With Le Creuset the light interior helps caramelizing food and not burning ... MoreI bought this 4qt cocotte in French blue during the Black Friday sale.

With Le Creuset the light interior helps caramelizing food and not burning it and with Staub the little "pointy" things on the lid help hold in the moisture slightly better for baking crusty bread. Also the metal lid knob can withstand the higher heat while in the oven. But with that being said you can buy a Le Creuset knob replacement. I make soups, stews, curries, rice, dried beans, bread, you name it. There is nothing more satisfying than having a tough cut of meat fall apart with a fork after it has been slowly braised in a cast iron pot. It's really a joy for me to use. I love both equally and I would highly recommend it especially if you can het it on sale.

I purchased this Staub piece when I used to live in NYC with the intention that it would give me a connection to a city that I had lived in for many years. This piece not only brings me great feelings of nostalgia but continues to become a trove or memories attached with every dish that I cook in it. First, this Dutch oven is constructed with the upmost care and is clearly designed with function and durability without compromising on style (it’s gorgeous!). Second, this pot is absolutely versatile and can be used to make a plethora of things! Avoid spending unnecessary money on gimmicky kitchen gizmo and gadgets and invest in a quality piece of cooking equipment. Finally, be prepared to have this pot always out and always used!

Imperfections are visible, but that is reflected in the very low price. A couple bubbles on top, couple on the bottom, a small divet inside and the color on the bottom has a slight circular pattern. It's on the bottom so I don't care. The grey color is very nice. I was unsure about oval shape on my regular gas burners. It heated quite evenly. I carmelized a large batch of chopped onions on medium heat and watched them closely to see if there was uneven heat across the large oval shape. It worked wonderfully. For scalloped potatoes, I then simmered them in a mixture of heavy cream and whole milk. I was very happy with it. I did take 5 min to slowly start heating on med low, using my higher power burner. I chose a large size b/c I braise pork shoulder in a tomato ... MoreImperfections are visible, but that is reflected in the very low price.

I chose a large size b/c I braise pork shoulder in a tomato sauce that has become a family favorite. I can sear a 9-10 lb Boston Butt in this and then braise it in the oven. The enamel coating can handle tomatoes. I cook other large roasts, etc and make chilli, so 8.5 qt oval is great. It is heavy, but I can handle it fine. The extra weight makes you more deliberate in moving it, so I find that I am less likely to slide it around. I guess if Texas loses power again, I can even use it on my propane grill, on low, since they can take 900 degrees w/o the lid or 500 with it. That seems to be a year round threat in Houston now, from tropical storms or deep freezes.
First, I'm quite impressed with the customer service. I received prompt reply from Sim (thank you!). I've always wanted to own a Staub dutch oven but is often reluctant because of the price. Having stumbled upon the sale, I was elated but first, needed to clarify if the discount is offered due to factory defect or visual imperfections as seen from one dealer. Assured that its not, I went ahead and ordered. Shipping is fast and my new dutch oven arrived, packed with great care. As mentioned by another reviewer, the color is not as bright red as in the picture but more of a deeper, earthy, almost gradient color (darker, almost maroon color in the looped handles) which I love. The 4 qt, seems to be sufficient for cooking a meal for a family of 4 and it has a more ... MoreFirst, I'm quite impressed with the customer service. I received prompt reply from Sim (thank you!).

Overall, highly recommended and will always check for good deals and quality products in this store.
My first cast iron and love it. I have been eyeing it for quite some time and when it finally went on sale, I took a chance. The enameled interior makes it easy to cook in it but also to maintain. The size (4qts) is perfect for my family of three. I get a meal and extra for leftovers. If stews and soup are a staple in your menu and enjoy cooking, then you will love it too. I am finding that the pot enhances the flavor of my favorite dishes. Prior to purchasing it, I was intimidated by the price but also the maintenance aspect, but I am finding that it is really not that hard at all, and I am not the most dilligent person. You just have to be extra mindful and try washing and drying right after each use--whenever possible.
I like the size and style of this Dutch oven / cocotte’. Enameled finish eliminates the need for seasoning bare cast iron. The dark, matte, interior finish is supposed to hold up better than the more common white, glossy, finish. The small dimples on the inside of the lid, supposed to aid uniform distribution of condensing liquids, are easier to clean than expected. I am hand washing mine.
My first experiences were cooking with the cast iron cocotte that I received as a gift. I’ve since expanded with various pieces of cast iron and ceramic. My favorite piece is the large grill pan for grilling steaks, artisan sausages and many types of vegetables. The even cooking that the Staub pieces produce makes cooking unique comfort food an immersive experience rather than just a task. The cocottes go from stovetop to oven to serving on the table. Cooking with Staub gives me such confidence that I regularly explore new recipes knowing that my cookware will help produce chef quality results.
New addition to my my staub collection. So far performs as expected. Minor imperfections under the handle, little rough, but the interior is perfect. Quite expressive compared to most other enameled cookware, but the quality is better. Too costly to buy a full set so I bought slowly over the years. The braiser was my first and I used it for everything. Really like the black interior finish, personally find it better than others on the market that I have tried. I feel it browns food better, doesn’t stain as easy, in fact I’ve had mine for 5 years and no permanent stains. Just follow the cleaning, storing, and heating guidelines.
I've heard good words of Staub Cocotte.for long time and watched numerous videos online of cooking using Staub for different types of dishes. I always wanted to have one of myself and try to cook. Now I finally got one. Just tried my first dish and it's working well. I did not season it. Just wash it and start cooking and it was not sticky. So I'm glad. Still need more practice with it to master the whole thing. I'm looking forward to it.
