Review of Staub Oval Cocotte

This is a wonderful pot, as beautiful as it is useful. Although large enough for a big dish, it's also good for moderate-sized recipes, where for example you fry onions and have to stir a lot -- the ingredients don't overflow the pot or splash out. Seasoning it was a snap: just rub in a bit of cooking oil. Because it heats up well on low heat, there's less danger of burning the food. And of course, this glossy red pot looks great! The interior finish is black enamel; has to be treated carefully (wooden or plastic utensils), but can't, I assume, discolor or show scratches. The only drawback for some may be its weight: the pot alone weighs 8 pounds and the lid 5 pounds. Add some contents and you have a hefty piece, which might be too much for some to lift out, hot, from the oven.
