Staub Cast Iron - Round Cocottes 26-cm_5.5-qt 5.5 qt, Round, Cocotte, Basil - Visual Imperfections basil-green is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 314.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Staub 5.5 Qt Cocotte on Induction Stove I am making the transition to induction cooking and have been replacing most of my cookware. Induction cooking requires cookware that can be magnetized, and the Staub cocotte was a logical choice and with the"Visual Imperfection," price reduction provided an excellent opportunity to try induction cocotte cooking. The results have been fantastic dinners with precise temperature control and effortless cleanup. I plan to expand my collection with other sizes of Staub cast iron cookware and, where possible, I will take advantage of any "Visual Imperfection" price reduction since it had no impact on cooking and was barely visible.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Quailty Issue Firstly, there are traces of wear and tear on the lid. It easily leads to the conclusion that it was used and returned. Secondly, several breaches are obvious on the rim of the lid.They can cause rusty easily. It's a quality issue. I don't agree that it is "visual imperfection". I loved the product and the products of Zwilling JA Henckels. But I felt dissapointed this time. I hope the company can improve the quality control for the online sales I insist on getting back the purchasing price $107.7 and the cost for shipping back $33.5. I'm open to the option to recieve a brand new one in good condition. Thank you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from PERFECTION! I was a bit nervous, thinking the "imperfections" might be problematic for my health such as rust, etc. per reviews, but mine did not have any imperfections on it. I use this at least once a week if not more often. Can't believe I got this at such an incredible price!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Got spammed by Zwilling I hate to deal with misleading online resources, and it is hard to believe I got spammed by Zwilling. First I have to enroll my email to get 15% off which I only get a link without any code to be applied, then with the Hassle Free mark showing everywhere including the product I bought, then I was being told I cannot return my item because I didn't read fine print. I could have bought my pot everywhere else on Amazon, Costco or Macy's, however, I fell in the trap. The customer service is firm and not helpful which made my purchase extremely unpleasant and inconvenient. I wouldn't trust this business again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Imperfections?? I See None!! Amazing, amazing find…almost felt like I “stole” this Staub piece for the price I paid!! It was sold with “slight imperfections”, but after scouring over the pot and lid, both inside and out….well, you got me!! Can’t find a blemish! This is my introduction into the world of Staub cooking. It took this great price to get started but I’ll be back for more pieces again. I was getting tired of wasting money on “non-stick” cookware and decided it was time to buy my last set - a set that will follow me to my grave (hopefully not anytime soon)!! No better way than to start my collection with Staub!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from It’s terrible... I know, it has visual imperfection, but It’s over visual imperfection. It can see iron, it is going to rusty and then expand even more rusty.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fabulous! Being a family of 2 I didn't think I needed this 7-Qt Cocotte, but the Labor Day sale price was just too good. I can't believe how useful this is! I genuinely love it in the matte black too. I have multiple smaller pieces in assorted beautiful colors and this complements beautifully. We cook on induction, and cast iron is the absolute best. I can't find any blemish on it to speak of. This is probably the 8th 'visual imperfection' piece I have purchased, and only received any blemish I would consider slightly annoying once. They are a great value.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! Very minor imperfection. Took looking over several times to find it under the handle. Large and heavy well made pot. Highly recommend.

i have a staub coquette with a number 22 inside the lid. also 6 1/2 inches. what size is this pot - in quarts. i i am looking at buying a 4qt and would like to know its corresponding lid numbers.

Asked by: plymouthed
The number 22 is the diameter in cm and, in this case, corresponds to the 2.75 qt. If you are looking for a 4 qt, this would be a #24 (24 cm) for the standard cocotte. Now, here is a wrinkle - Staub also makes a “shallow” 4 qt model. This “shallow” cocotte is actually built on the 26 cm model platform (5.5 qt) but only holds approximately 4 qts. The sides are just not as tall. I have several of the two models and find that each has its advantages. I like the shallow model for dishes such as mac and cheese where I want a larger surface to total volume area.
