Adorable little French petite oven is perfect for side dishes of any kind. Amazing heat capability - heats quickly, evenly and stays hot for hours. I love to use it to bake desserts in, especially cobblers. My son heats soup in it, really its quite versatile.

The perfect size for rice and many people do use it as their rice cooker. It come out perfectly due to the tight fitting cast iron lid and the Christera drop-structure lid which drops all the moisture back down into the vessel. It is what keeps dishes moist and results in the perfect consistancy.

Cooks like a charm!

I love this little pot. I've had it a week and have used it for rice, hot cereal, a can of soup, left overs and gravy. Perfect for one or two servings of whatever. A light coat of oil or butter, heat on medium low heat 5 to 10 minutes and add food. No need to use more than medium heat unless you are bringing something up to boiling. Cleans up the same as glass or ceramic and if there is a food shadow it will come right out with a tiny bit of BarKeepers Friend cleanser (use only on the interior).Since discovering Staub 2 years ago I have replaced all my stainless steel cookware, except for my sauce pans with Staub. Just ordered the 7 quart round cocotte in grenadine and can't wait to get it. Staub is my go to gift for family and friends with no complaints so far, ... MoreI love this little pot.

Staub is my go to gift for family and friends with no complaints so far, just requests for more.Oh, did I mention just how beautiful it is? Too pretty to put away. Grenadine is my color of choice and displayed in my kitchen. Since I can only afford the sale prices, I buy other colors when the prices are too good to pass up, they are all gorgeous.And no, I am not affiliated with the company in any way, just an avid fan.

Merci!

I just love this perfect size 1 1/2 qt! Beautiful look at and as designer that is a priority and performance is amazing from risotto to blanching haricot vert. I can not wait to have the grill saute, 2 in 1 that is an exclusive with Food52. I hoping to see it offered on the Zwilling site soon. The service was effortless. Many thanks!

Staub is top quality

This 1.5qt size is perfect for family serving of rice or veggies. Glad I picked this up.

Sturdy product but knob RUSTS!

Despite that Staub is known for the beauty and quality of their products, this product has a couple of cons. First, it's a beautifully made pot, very sturdy, and the style of the lid does indeed allow moisture to drip back to the pot.However, the handles are very small and gets hot once you take it off the stove. It's hard to grab the handles to pour out the boiled water or hot liquid.Also, my biggest complaint is I got the one with the stainless steel knob and it RUSTS after 2 months of use (see picture)! I've only handwashed it with a soft sponge and always lay it on the drying mat to fully dry before storing it. Paid full price and I expected better from a brand to claim that their products are one of the best.You might think that the rust is only on the ... MoreDespite that Staub is known for the beauty and quality of their products, this product has a couple of cons.

Paid full price and I expected better from a brand to claim that their products are one of the best.You might think that the rust is only on the underside of the knob and no one will see it, but the rust actually SPREADS all the way down the knob and onto the enamel coating of the lid which is how I noticed it and unscrewed the knob to discover what was underneath the knob. The picture shows the rust only after I soaked it in vinegar for a day so it's actually worse than what the picture shows. Staub probably knows this occurs which is why they sell the knobs separately and make you spend more on their already expensive products.

Such a great little dutch oven

I love a french aesthetic in any kitchen and this looks perfect with that! The Staub Petite French oven is a great size for a smaller crowd and is perfect for making an amazing pot of rice or risotto. Also with it having the spikes on the heavy lid, it helps keep your food from drying out. A great piece of enameled cast iron cookware.

You will not store this little guy!

I agonized between the dark navy blue and the Graphite (to match my 5.5qt Cocotte), only because dark navy blue is my favorite color. I did finally go with the Graphite so that my Cocotte had a matching friend. This is the best petite French oven that you can get and you will find yourself using it for everything. I've made steel cut oats, wheat berries, rice, sauces, soups, pasta, everything in this adorable little French oven. It is petite at 1 3/4qt, but it is deep so that you can fit a lot and easily stir what you are cooking or reheating. I find myself reaching for my petite oven more than I expected, it has become my favorite cookware to use. Also, it is super easy to clean with soap and water at the sink. You will use this over and over throughout the week!

love it!

the colour is nicer than I thought; The price was unbeatable. you have to read the instructions and use it correctly too. it,s small but perfect for 1-2 people. absolutely love it!
