Reviews & Questions
Staub Cast Iron 26-cm_5.25-qt 5.25 qt, Essential French Oven with Snake Lid, cherry cherry is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 24.
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not the quality I’m used to Although beautiful, this pot doesn’t meet my expectations based on previous purchases — the underside of the handles are extremely rough, which seem to be a manufacturing defect but the item wasn’t listed as a visual imperfection item. Also, I was and still very disappointed in customer service’s inability to accommodate a simple request of mine. I neglected to apply my reward points at the time of purchase and they wouldn’t credit me after the fact. This is not the quality and service I’m used to, so I’m not pleased. I know they can do better, especially for the price paid.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Poor customer service I like the size and appearance, but the enamel looks thin and feels rough on the snake relief. I contacted customer service to request a replacement, and they said it was just a visual imperfection. I told them that, if that’s the case, they should include a description of it in the item listing. They eventually accepted my return request, but I decided to keep it. I purchased two Staub pots, and both were visually imperfect. I kept them because I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of shipping them back—they are heavy. The bottom line is that my biggest issue isn’t the product itself, but the customer service. Every time I have a problem with a product, I have to contact them at least twice to resolve it, and I believe they need to improve this process.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Special and unique product The Year of the Snake black Dutch oven performed well in long oven cooks and cleans up easily. The chrome lid handle turns a little yellow, but only aesthetic. The Dutch oven was on sale for $200 which is still high, but my wife is a Snake and a special gift.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid and gorgeous Dutch oven! Solid and gorgeous Dutch oven! It’s very heavy but does the job. Just wish it came in an 8 or 10 quart too.

Is the dragon available in a larger size? Or the chicken? It'd be awesome to have either the dragon or the chicken in a 5.5 qt.

Asked by: Gramburgerler
Thank you for your inquiry about the Staub Cast Iron French Ovens featuring the dragon and chicken designs. Currently, Staub offers the 5.25 qt Essential French Oven with the snake lid, but there is no 5.5 qt version available. Similarly, the dragon/chicken design is available in a 3.75 qt size, but not in a 5.5 qt capacity. If you're interested in a larger capacity, Staub does offer other French Ovens in sizes up to 7 qt. For instance, the Staub Cast Iron 7 qt Round Dutch Oven is available in various colors and may suit your needs. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to our customer service team at hello@zwillingus.com. Any of our associates will be happy to help!
