Staub Cast Iron 6-qt Cochon Shallow Wide Round Cocotte - Basil

I will update this review after some use of the product, but right now I have given it five stars because you can tell that these pieces were made with quality and care in mind. The cocotte looks so nice, I might just leave it on the counter for everyone to see. Definitely looking forward to using it for the first time :)

I love using this piece for soups and stews. It is so very easy to clean (just let it soak a bit and everything comes right off). My husband even commented on how nicely it washed up. Look forward to making some roasts! Staub is just such a superior product; it's glossy jewel-toned (indestructible) enamel to it's never-need-to-seasoned black quartz interior that doesn't stain. It browns meat beautifully!

This pot arrived damaged because the pig knob & screw were loose in the pot itself . It was returned. However Amazon did a stirling job & refunded us quickly. They still get 5 stars because of this service & I will continue to buy Staub through them.

This piece is both beautiful and functional. The finish is perfect for searing meat before braising. The interior is easy to clean and won't stain. I can't comment on the durability, since I've only had it a short time; however, I am counting on it living up to the Staub reputation. The graphite color is stunning, and the little pig knob adds a touch of whimsy.

Built to last a lifetime! Super heavy duty. Great for braising meat to perfection and its beautiful. Expensive and worth every penny! This is one of those times you are getting something great for your money.
