The thing about this Staub cookware that you might like best is no matter what you paid for it, you won't be disappointed-because in the end it works to perfection and looks beautiful. Being a fairly habitual bargain hunter I am always looking to save on what I buy. These coq au vin/dutch oven/french oven pieces that I cook with work so well that even if I didn't get the perfect bargain, I know that they are worth what I paid for them each time I make something with them. Easy and the food flavors are enhanced in the process. Try one. Get a roast, throw in some veggies and your favorite seasonings, put it in the oven or on the stovetop, turn it on low...a couple hours later you have some good grub. Cleans up almost like nonstick without having to worry about eating the nonstick at some time. I like the beauty of these in the kitchen, too. The colors are not overwhelming, just cheery and are in graduated shades-a nice added touch to cast iron oven perfection. I like the 5-litre size for my personal small family use. You will love using these ovens-I still talk to my rooster. So, read about all the options, find a great bargain... get one, season it ... and USE IT- a lot. My highest recommendation goes for Staub.

I am trying very hard to like Staub as much as Le Creuset. I have ordered many Staub products and almost all have been exchanged because they broke or were poorly constructed. Amazon is always amazing at making sure I am satisfied, but Staub really needs to step up their QC. When I received this 5 3/4 qt Grenadine Cocotte I was blown away at how nice it looked. Really a stunning piece. I looked over every square inch to make sure it was in perfect condition. Sadly, there was a chip in the lid which penetrated the enamel and caused the lid to rust.

I feel it cooks as well, if not a little better than my round Le Creuset French oven. The thicker layer of iron never burns anything and creates a nice fond. The lid, though heavier than the Le Creuset's, was not a better sealing lid.

I promptly received a free replacement from Amazon (+ a $10 gift card!), but the replacement piece was an absolute travesty. I have no idea how it even left Staub's factory. There were large nubs on the lid from the sand mold that made the lid impossible to close; the cast iron was not evenly thick all around; the enamel had holes/pits in it, the color was neither rich nor vibrant. It looked terrible. I was so disappointed. I will try again and hope third time is a charm.

I would recommend Staub to others, but it is very important to buy from a company like Amazon. You are really rolling the dice with a Staub piece, but I think the cookware is worth the gamble.

My Le Crueset 7 1/2 quart dutch oven used to be my favorite pot but not anymore. If you haven't tried a Staub pot you need to. The grenadine color is gorgeous. The pot does an amazing job of searing but not burning. With the lid on in the oven it retains heat better than my Le Creuset. The lid is so beautiful that I keep it out on a plate stand in my kitchen for decoration. My only regret is that I didn't get the same pot only larger.

I first layed eyes on this pot one day while shopping at the mall but the price is beyond what I would usually spend on myself so I kept on walking. Flash forward a few months and for my birthday my husband gives me the Le Creuset 6 3/4qt cast iron/enamel French cooker and I gushed and cooed buuuut I knew I had to return it for the Staub I first fell in love with. It is beautiful and I just loved the rooster handel but of course that's not reason enough alone to buy the Staub. After much research on line I knew it was the right purchase after reading again and again that people who had both the Le Creuset and the Staub prefered the Staub and I can see why. I had been using my Caphelon dutch oven for years to braise a roast, the Staub wins hands down. Best roast beef, vegetables and gravy I've ever made and so easy! Went great from my glass stovetop (do use care when using it on glass stoves)to the oven and washed right up with just a little soap and water. So far so good and I look forward to years of delicious home cooked meals and who knows, maybe someday I'll pass it on to one of my kids, I'm sure it will look as good then as it does now.

After much research, I decided to buy the Grenadine Staub 6 Quart Coq Au Vin with rooster. I initially bought the Le Creuset 7.25 Qt. at an outlet store, but once I did further research and saw the Staub in person, I couldn't get my mind off how beautiful it looked. I made a bolognese sauce and it turned out wonderful! The Staub cleaned up so easily and it's the perfect size to make dishes for 4-8 people. Next I plan to make a pot roast. Love it!

Last year, I received the Staub 6 qt Coq au Vin as a wedding present and I am in love with it. As an experienced cook, I was curious how this pot would stand up to practical use. It's exceeded my expectations. I've experimented with different dishes, including roasts and stews, all of which were easy to prepare in this pot - from stovetop to oven to table - and every one of which has been flavorful, unique and perfectly finished. The flavors are deliciously wedded every time, but there's no homogenation or sameness of flavor that you get in other types of slow cookers. The little drip points in the lid act as the perfect, ongoing baster so foods are tender and moist. As an added perc, this pot, with its grenadine color and coq handle, is absolute gorgeous which makes it all the more fun to use! Personally, I prefer Staub over Le Creuset for both form and function. I am now preparing my wish list for more Staub cookware to compliment this piece!

This staub cocotte is the best addition to my table .Directly from the stove top to table .Cooks the chicken well while keeping it most .Even though it's expensive but still it is a must for every home chef

Merchandise arrived in a timely fashion. It was well packaged and protected. In its orignal box and in perfect condition.

I purchased this Staub pot for my future daughter-in-law. She loves to cook and says the pot is excellent for her slow-cook recipes.
