Product details

Web ID: 4087364
Staub enameled cast iron cookware is the top choice for chefs and home cooks alike. Rooted in French culinary heritage, Staub's renowned cocottes are timeless pieces, perfect for casual meals or sumptuous suppers. The Essential French Oven with Chistera lid is the latest star in the cast iron collection. Like Staub's signature flat lid, the domed Chistera lid has excellent self-basting properties. Usually, a convex lid causes condensation to fall to the sides. The innovative, Chistera drop-structure lid solves this problem by putting a twist on traditional spikes. Moisture cascades from the whole lid. This continuous basting guarantees delectable roast chicken and braised short ribs. What inspired this original design? Basque pelota players use wicker basket chisteras to scoop up balls and hurl them quickly. Under Staub's new lids, the chistera-shaped curves gather condensation to shower moisture upon the delicious dish that simmers inside. Uncover the secret for making special stews with the Essential French Oven with Chistera lid.

Perfection

This is my favorite Dutch oven. I have several Dutch ovens. But this one is absolutely perfect. It is not too big and it is not too small. You can cook a lot of food in this but it never feels super heavy. The curved sides, make stirring easier. This sautées, braises, and fries beautifully. The self-basting lid makes every meal more flavorful. It is easy to clean. Nothing sticks and there are never any stains that are a challenge to get rid of, unlike Le Creuset. Plus, the shade grenadine with the majolic paint is exquisitely, beautiful.

Gorgeous Self-Basting Cast Iron Pot

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I much prefer the Japanese nabe inspired shape of this style of the Staub La Cocotte line-up. It's minimalist, has an aesthetically pleasing silhouette and feels just as high quality as one would come to expect from the Staub line of cast iron pots and ceramics. I've been using this for 3 months already and every time I break it out for a stew, braise or even some experimental baking, it does not disappoint.

Beautiful and functional

I was lucky to score one in a sale. It supposedly had minor imperfections. I didn’t see any but promptly put a chip on it when it slipped from my hands in the sink. Oh, well. It is still drop dead gorgeous, the perfect size for me and I love cooking with it.

Never going back

I had cheaper versions of this type of cookware, after trying the real thing I am never going back. With Staub’s quality I doubt I will ever need another anyway.

Beautiful!

Love this pot and have been wanting it for awhile. I love the weight but frustrated the lid has a yellow spot and inside looks to hAve white splatter paint.
