Quality cookware October 25, 2008
I had been interested in purchasing a dutch oven but really did not know which brand to purchase.
When a shopping alert on simplyrecipes.com came up for the Staub 5 quart Round Cocotte in Yellow I grabbed it! It was one of the best purchases ever! I love the "french" oven for its superior quality and excellent ease of cleaning. The black inside also is a plus as I know that other brand has a white inside that gets colored with whatever you've cooked. I highly recommend this product. I would suggest you purchase a larger size than the 5 qt
 Nice heavy cocotte! October 22, 2008
This thing is heavy. I think the lid is heavy enough to create a pressure cooker effect. Should be great for braising, but I haven't tried that yet. It has been good for gently simmering soups, but not so great at bringing water to a boil quickly to say, cook pasta or anything like that. The weight/mass of this thing makes it slow to respond to heat changes, but great for heat retention. The manufacturer recommends hand washing, but says it's OK for dishwashing.
So, there are pros and cons, but it is a well made product, and should last a while. I still find myself looking for a large do-it-all pot though.
 Staub 5 Quart Round Cocotte October 21, 2008
Item is satisfactory it doesn't seem as heavy as LeCreuset and the edge around the pot is not consistent and becomes thin in places. I would not buy another Staub pot and will keep this one and appreciate the positive aspects of it.

Staub is truly the best dutch oven in the marketplace!
Flawlessly beautiful, inside and out! The oven's cover is heavy enough to act as a "seal" keeping the food's juices in, rather than escaping as steam. The design of dimples inside the cover collects steamy moisture during cooking, and condenses it to liquid to become self-basting flavor for the dish. Storage, with this large heavy pot is not a problem for me. It sits proudly on my stovetop, ready for use or admiration!

For any person who knows about cooking a cocotte is a must have and the price that Amazon has on these premium French ovens is beyond belief. A cocotte works just like a dutch oven and any receipt that is slow cooked can be done in a cocotte. For those who do not know of Staub it is a manufacture of cookware in France that has had a business relationship to cookware longer than Le Creuset, and has kept truer to the ideal of keeping production in France as opposed to Le Creuset which now manufactures anything anywhere and just puts its name on it...
In regards to the pot, the color is a rich yellow that is consistent around the exterior. The inside is a sturdy black matte that is neither glossy or dual. The enamel coating provides a glass like surface to the cast iron pot that prevents rust and helps in creating a non-stick surface that one truly does not get from straight cast iron. I have already cooked a roast and a vegetable stew inside my pot and it really does retain and distribute moisture, when the lid is kept on. The cast iron qualities of the pot and the stunning color allow for the use of the cocotte on the table as well as the oven. I strongly encourage you to look into Staub as an alternative to Le Creuset.
