Beautiful and functional! LOVE IT!, (What's this?) After much research, I decided to buy the Grenadine Staub 6 Quart Coq Au Vin with rooster. I initially bought the Le Creuset 7.25 Qt. at an outlet store, but once I did further research and saw the Staub in person, I couldn't get my mind off how beautiful it looked. I made a bolognese sauce and it turned out wonderful! The Staub cleaned up so easily and it's the perfect size to make dishes for 4-8 people. Next I plan to make a pot roast.
HEAVY-DUTY AND GORGEOUS!!, I purchased this item in grenadine, a deep rich red. Despite some of the reviews about receiving poorly finished products, I couldn't resist that rooster handle. My pot arrived in perfect condition. I didn't think 6 qts. would be big enough, but this is one serious piece of cookware. Perhaps it's the oval shape that makes it seem so big--the weight is substantial too. I've been wanting to make Julia Child's Boeuf Bourgignon--from braising on the stove top, in and out of the oven then back in the oven for hours and my first dish in my Staub pot was perfection. Clean up was surprisingly easy, despite its size and weight.
Staub Coq Au Vin, (What's this?) I purchased this Staub pot for my future daughter-in-law. She loves to cook and says the pot is excellent for her slow-cook recipes.
FABULOUS, JUST FABULOUS!, (What's this?) I purchased the 6 quart Coq Au Vin Cocotte in royal blue just before Christmas this year and I have used it every day since. I absolutely love it and am only sorry that I didn't purchase it years ago. It is a dream to use. I have used it on top of the stove as well as in the oven and everything comes out simply perfect and delicious.
Beauty and Function!, I first layed eyes on this pot one day while shopping at the mall but the price is beyond what I would usually spend on myself so I kept on walking. Flash forward a few months and for my birthday my husband gives me the Le Creuset 6 3/4qt cast iron/enamel French cooker and I gushed and cooed buuuut I knew I had to return it for the Staub I first fell in love with. It is beautiful and I just loved the rooster handel but of course that's not reason enough alone to buy the Staub. After much research on line I knew it was the right purchase after reading again and again that people who had both the Le Creuset and the Staub prefered the Staub and I can see why. I had been using my Caphelon dutch oven for years to braise a roast, the Staub wins hands down. Best roast beef, vegetables and gravy I've ever made and so easy! Went great from my glass stovetop (do use care when using it on glass stoves)to the oven and washed right up with just a little soap and water. So far so good and I look forward to years of delicious home cooked meals and who knows, maybe someday I'll pass it on to one of my kids, I'm sure it will look as good then as it does now.
Not good quality, I loved the way Staub cooks, or at least until my pot cracked against the sink. Amazingly the sink survived but my pot has a crack 4 inches long. I was more amazed to see a disclaimer on their website that if the pot hits a solid surface it might break and there is no warranty on that. I have plenty of Le Creuset and they resist pretty much everything. Staub slipped of my hand and cracked againt the sink. Poor quality and they never answer phone calls or e-mails for warranty services. Also, keep your reciept forever because you need it for any claims. To pay $200-$300 for a pot and loose it like that is not worth it. Go with Le Creuset instead.
Wonderful - If You Get One That Is Well Built..., (What's this?) I am trying very hard to like Staub as much as Le Creuset. I have ordered many Staub products and almost all have been exchanged because they broke or were poorly constructed. Amazon is always amazing at making sure I am satisfied, but Staub really needs to step up their QC. When I received this 5 3/4 qt Grenadine Cocotte I was blown away at how nice it looked. Really a stunning piece. I looked over every square inch to make sure it was in perfect condition. Sadly, there was a chip in the lid which penetrated the enamel and caused the lid to rust.
I feel it cooks as well, if not a little better than my round Le Creuset French oven. The thicker layer of iron never burns anything and creates a nice fond. The lid, though heavier than the Le Creuset's, was not a better sealing lid.
I promptly received a free replacement from Amazon (+ a $10 gift card!), but the replacement piece was an absolute travesty.
Staub is the best, Last year, I received the Staub 6 qt Coq au Vin as a wedding present and I am in love with it. As an experienced cook, I was curious how this pot would stand up to practical use. It's exceeded my expectations. I've experimented with different dishes, including roasts and stews, all of which were easy to prepare in this pot - from stovetop to oven to table - and every one of which has been flavorful, unique and perfectly finished. The flavors are deliciously wedded every time, but there's no homogenation or sameness of flavor that you get in other types of slow cookers. The little drip points in the lid act as the perfect, ongoing baster so foods are tender and moist. As an added perc, this pot, with its grenadine color and coq handle, is absolute gorgeous which makes it all the more fun to use! Personally, I prefer Staub over Le Creuset for both form and function.
