Review of Staub 2.5 Quart Round Cocotte, Grenadine

Do you gaze longingly at your pot while it happily does it's thing? You will if you get this one. It is like a little jewel on my stove. I got it for significantly cheaper from Will..Son.. (surprisingly) than the $150 listed here. The enamel seems much nicer than Le Creuset and I like the solid lid with basting spikes. I thought initially the rim around the top of the lid was just a cosmetic reminder of the way charcoal is held on the top of a classic dutch oven. I heard however it could be used to put ice water to encourage condensation. I also like the black enamel interior better since it seems easier to clean (perhaps by appearance). The lid knob is nice but a little small for the weight of the thing...you can use it to lift straight up but if you try to turn it sideways it will feel like it's cutting into your fingers.

Product Description
