This 4-qt pot begs for a family favorite such as chicken and dumplings or a hearty soup. From the Alsace region, where one pot meals were a staple, the Staub Dutch Oven is a durable piece designed for extended, slow cooking or roasting. Suitable for the stovetop or oven, it merges the lasting durability of cast iron with attractive, enameled ceramic using the latest design technology, including a self-basting lid with heavy metal knob, and side handles for easy transition to a serving area. The well-fitted lid helps seal in flavor, and the entire piece is attractive enough to set as a serving piece. Featured in Basil. From the Alsace region of France comes this incredibly striking yet resilient cookware by Staub. Made of cast iron and finished in rich shades of enameled ceramic, it originated with the round and oval Dutch oven, and has evolved into a complete line of cookware used by top chefs around the globe. Unique to Staub pots are the self-basting spikes, small peaks jutting from the lid underside that continuously redistribute juices as they collect during the cooking process. In addition, each piece is created in a unique sand mold and made of the finest raw materials available, fired repeatedly to last over generations of cooks. It won?t discolor, warp or produce hotspots and never requires seasoning. The even heat distribution and lasting heat retention are what make it so desirable, and what produces the most intense flavor and tenderness in every meal. Suitable for any cooking surface as well as being ovensafe, each piece comes with a limited product warranty.
This striking cocotte is simply the best

Comments about Staub 11024-85 4-Quart Round French Oven (Basil):
I pretty much only cook with cast iron and this Staub cocotte is my most prized piece. I use my 4 qt. cocotte more than any other size. The oven distributes heat evenly. Clean up is really easy. Some people have problems with cleaning cast iron and complain that food sticks to the bottom. Don't be discouraged if it happens to you. Cooking with cast iron has a learning curve, but you will figure it out.
