Dutch Oven

I have catered private parties for years. Purchased several brands of cookware Et Al' . This Dutch Oven is heavy (and should be), retains and distributes heat as well or better than its triple the cost rivals. Lid is fantastic and the idea of the silicone lid is brilliant for cooking as well as storage. Please do not listen to the folks that say it is too heavy and change that aspect. The weight is what makes it the work horse it is. There are lighter, different pots/pans all over the internet one can purchase. When these come back in stock, I plan on gifting them provided they are the same quality all around. ( I will know!) Thanks for developing quality products that more home chefs can can now afford and enjoy.....these top shelf kitchen items used to be unattainable by many due to the highly inflated cost. Keep em' comin' !!!

Never owned a Dutch oven before but always wanted one. This far exceeded my expectations! Used several times now and no stuck on messes, stains or burnt on food. Even made a shirt rib ragu, with tomatoes and red wine...still looks brand new. It is heavy, but I expected that seeing as it is cast iron.

I made bread in it , spaghetti sauce and curry so far it is fantastic product you will be glad you own one.

Love it!

Bought another for my daughter!

The reason I bought this after wishing I had a large Dutch Oven for awhile now........was that this pot had the grill pan lid. It works wonderfully. So this purchase was really a '2-fer! (My oldest daughter loves Staub, and I recently had purchased her a grill pan as a gift.) Only downside is that this pot is very heavy. I am getting 'up there' in age and the weight makes it a teeny bit difficult to handle as easily as I would like. But the cooking experience so far more than makes up for this and also the fact that it is much easier to clean than other cookware.
