Dutch Ovens - With self-basting lid circulating juices continuously and superior heat retention of enameled cast-iron, this Staub wide round cocotte with lid is the gourmet's choice for professionally-cooked entrees. This wide 6-quart round Dutch oven is the ideal size to roast poultry, beef or pork and add vegetables alongside to enjoy moist, succulent one-pot meals. The secret to self-basting and preservation of flavors is under the lid: spikes collect condensation and release, creating a rain forest effect to continuously shower juices over food. Handcrafted in France, Staub enameled cast-iron cookware is preferred by internationally-famous chefs for its superb heat distribution. The circulation of heat with juices ensures poultry bakes to succulent perfection, roasts cook evenly and casseroles bake with a delicious light-crisp texture. This self-basting cycle allows ingredient flavors to maintain full intensity, and preserve nutritional values. Staub signature black matte enamel interior provides a superior cooking environment for nonstick braising and caramelizing, and easy release. The more you cook with this enameled cast-iron enameled Dutch oven, the better it performs, seasoning naturally with use, without maintenance.
