Overview
A cook simmering and frying for a household gets a two-handled oval cast iron pot from Staub, finished in gray enamel. The lid carries a self-basting system, and the pot can go from stove to table.
The self-basting lid and heat conduction are the reason to buy, and the oval shape suits long cuts of meat. The description mixes round and oval wording, and the size figures conflict between fields.
Who it's for
A household that cooks large braises and wants to serve from the pot. People wanting a light pot, or a round shape, should check the dimensions and look at other cookware.
Pros and cons
- Self-basting lid system
- Serves at the table
- Heavy cast iron
- Hand washing advised
- Dimensions differ between fields
- Description mixes round and oval
Performance notes
Cast iron conducts heat well, so the pot cooks on less heat, per the description, and the lid's self-basting system returns moisture to the food. The enamel finish can discolor in a dishwasher, which is why hand washing is advised.
