I absolutely love this pot! Not only is it beautiful it cooks evenly, browns food wonderfully and leaves a nice fond in the bottom of the pan. A bargain for the serious cook, or those that just want a superior pot for braising, roasting and stewing.

Product Description:
"Cocotte" in French means "casserole," but there are plenty of dishes that emerge delectably from this cast-iron French oven. Staub celebrates one of the most traditional French recipes - coq au vin, or chicken in wine - with a special version of its classic 6-quart cocotte. Released in an array of rich colors, this limited-edition piece comes topped by a gracefully sculpted, stainless-steel rooster - the "coq." Although the cocotte cooks up a perfect coq au vin, it's also an ideal choice for slow-cooked stews and soups, casseroles, and roasted chicken, as well as many other one-pot meals. Measuring 12 inches in diameter, the cocotte is constructed of durable cast iron with a black matte enameled interior and an enameled ceramic finish that extends to the pot and lid edges to prevent chipping. And with its decorative design, it serves as beautifully as it cooks.
Designed for oven or stovetop use, the cocotte features a smooth, heavy earthenware base that will never warp and can handle any cooking surface, including glass, induction, and convection. As with the pot itself, the handles and lid are cast iron (handles and lid knob do get hot, so use caution) for durability and even heat distribution and retention. The lid features self-basting spikes to continually redistribute juices back to the ingredients as they cook. The cast-iron cocotte doesn't need seasoning and, as cooking oils seep into the pores over time, will become self-seasoning. Oven-safe to 500

This pan is HEAVY enameled cast iron so it cleans like a dream!This is so thick and heavy that it won't bow or buckle under the largest roasts.What truly makes this unique is that it can be used on the STOVETOP!You can safely use this on an induction stove (or gas), then put it in the oven, under the broiler, and back to the stovetop to make a sauce.It looks really funny cooking with a pan like this on the stovetop, but since it distributes heat so well I don't have any hot spots if the burner doesn't fit.

Dishes that burn in other pans cook perfectly in all of my Staub.This is a great multipurpose pan which is the perfect size for a large chicken or standard cake.

The roaster looks very basic without any logos or bright colors, but this is a piece that is bought for function.If not dropped, it should last a lifetime.

This is a good roasting dish.It's 11 inches long and 8 inches wide.Good for side dishes for small entrees.Too small for main dishes.If you have any kind of enameled cast iron you know what to expect.If not: excellent for even cooking, great for cooktop-to-oven foods, and easier to cleanup than regular cast iron.Downside: can't handle rapid heating or cooling (the enamel will crack) and you should use silicon utensils with it to avoid scratching the enamel.I've put mine through the paces with no complaints and banged it a few times with no chipping.Staub and Le Creuset make the best enameled cast iron out there so while it cost a little more it will last a lot longer.

Price wise this goes on sale for about $40 now and then - so if you are on a budget watch for a sale.

Staub 5 Quart Oval Cocotte, Black Review

I own the predecessor of this Staub pot, the same model but with a domed lid. I received it as a gift a couple of years ago. I am a serious cook-- have taken some culinary classes and enjoy cooking immensely. This pot is quite simply the best roasting pot I have ever owned. It is a very heavy cast iron pot which has been double coated with enamel. The lid and pot fit together perfectly. The craftsmanship is excellent. There are dots protruding from the inside of the lid that essentially channel condensed moisture (steam) back down as liquid onto whatever you're cooking-- sort of creating your own little rainforest in the oven. (You can also use the pot without the lid if you prefer dry heat.)

The design of the lid ensures moist cooking, which tenderizes meats. Cooking a whole chicken (and this pot easily accommodates a very large roaster) with spices and vegetables results in fall-off-the-bone moist, flavorful meat. Cooking a roast of beef or pork? Ditto-- the meat is tender, and the spices are roasted in. Vegetables more your style? This baby makes perfect stews, either on a stovetop or baked.

Best of all, if you season your pot correctly before you use it (instructions are provided), cleanup is a breeze. Just fill the pot with warm soapy water for 15-30 minutes and then wash with a nonabrasive utensil (so as not to scratch the enamel). Even the worst baked on sauces come off easily. Love it.

One word of caution: cutting anything with a sharp knife in your pot may ruin the enamel coating. It's okay to slice into something to test it as long as the knife tip doesn't hit the bottom or sides of the pot. To me, this slight trade-off of convenience is well worth it, given how well the pot works.
