Staub Cast Iron 3.75-qt Essential French Oven - Dark Blue is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 171.
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Poor quality enamel outside and inside overspray White is only available in the USA I got it shipped to the UK even though I can see France from the beach!! Terrible quality white overspray on the black coating inside I thought it was dust. It wasn’t. The white enamel under the handles is patchy and the black metal of the pan shows through and looks cheap. I don’t like leaving bad reviews but for the cost it’s unacceptable. Waiting to here from customer services in USA and Europe. We live in a global market place why do colours have to be unavailable in Europe when they are made there. Just senseless!!! This has put me off making further purchases.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Durable and beautiful I purchased this in the dark blue color maybe a month ago so I can't speak to the long wear of the product but, as of right now, it has been working great thus far. I was concerned about the size being that it's 3.75 qt but that's actually still very large and definitely large enough for creating meals for 2-4 people. I'm also pleasantly surprised by the lid of this item. It really does work to keep the items you are cooking moist! And, additionally, I really appreciate that the interior bowl is black as opposed to the white you might see for competitor's products. I purchased this item discounted so it was a really great deal but I would definitely consider buying a larger version of this down the road should I need to cook in larger batches. This is definitely a high-quality good and I'm happy I made the investment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for no-knead bread I already have a cocotte but I read about french oven bread and so I decided to buy one and give it a shot. The shape of this made for a perfect sourdough loaf with incredibly crispy crust and soft interior. You definitely need pot holder to move or grab the knob but in my experience it didn't get crazy hot that if you accidentally touched it you would get burned which is a big plus for my clumsy self. White is a hard colour to keep clean but I use barkeeper's friend and it polishes it very nicely.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My second cocotte! I got a 4qt cocotte in 2020 and I love it. When I saw this one with a rounded bottom, I decided to get this one as well. I love the rounded bottom, it will make stir frying easier (I haven’t used it yet). I just washed it and can’t wait to start using it! I thought buying a second one would be good so I can use one to make a stew while I’m baking a bread in the other one. I might come up with another reason to get myself a third one one day… I love the self-basting effect of the lid and the black enamel coat. I’ve seen people’s used Le Creuset’s enamel all cracked… I won’t have to worry about that with this black enamel coat of Staub’s!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful, but oh so useful! This is such a beautiful piece of cookware that (like other reviewers) I keep it on the stove top when not in use - I just don't want to hide it away in a cupboard! I've used it twice already; for a scrumptious beef stew and sauerbraten. I can't wait to try more recipes! Clean up was so easy and the Dutch oven still looks like new -- even the underside that was in contact with the flame. Good quality, heavy cast iron construction with lovely dark, but rugged blue enamel. Although the outer box apparently got roughed up a bit in transit, the interior packaging was intact and designed to provide lots of extra protection. I'm so glad that I made this purchase.

Can this hold 2.5 lb chicken for coq au vin? 2 full chicken legs is not quite what I had in mind but the 5.5 looks a bit large for our small family

Asked by: Kathryne
This would be appropriate for a very small chicken or game hen. However, if you want to roast a larger chicken without having to dismantle it, you may want to go with a 4.25 or 5.75-qt Coq au Vin cocotte: https://www.zwillingonline.com/shop-all-staub-coq-au-vin-cocottes.html

Would this be good for making soup?

Asked by: jokudasai
Absolutely wonderful pot for making a small batch of soup!   Cooking for 1-2 people, this pot has many uses: Clams and Mussels, Stew,  The pot will hold 2 lamb shanks easily.  It holds 2 full chicken legs (thigh leg piece).  It holds two large chicken breasts. Depending on the size of the veal shanks, it can be used to make Veal Osso Bucco for two.   Braised Short Ribs easily for two fit in this pot.   IMPORTANT: Note that the bottom of this particular pot is a smaller circumference than the top.  If you wish for a tad larger bottom, the 4QT ROUND COCOTTE is perfect.   I find the 4QT best for my pot roasts, as I typically make a 3.5lb. roast with veggies.  This pot sears nicely, cleans beautifully,  I have several Staub cast iron pieces and love every one!   It is now my preference in cast iron.
