What our customer's say!

"Staub cocotte", This cocotte is better than a Le Crueset dutch oven. It is one heavy beast, and built like a tank. The magnetic wooden trivet is a clever accessory.
Ideal for making no-knead bread, though a 7-quart would work just as well. No problems at all with the handle at high temps. Daughter has already called dibs on inheriting it!

"I sent it back...", Spend a little bit more and buy Le Creuset. I have some Le Creuset cast irons pots/pans and they were worth every penny I paid. When I saw this one, I thought I would give it a try since it was a bit cheaper. Right from the start I just knew it didn't compare to my Le Crueset pot. For one... the inside finish isn't near as nice as the Le Crueset pots. The second thing I didn't like was the tiny handle on the lid. Because of the weight of the cast iron lid... if you are trying to pick up the lid it just seemed like a flimsy tiny handle to grab, especially if you have a silicon mit or hot pad over your hand. Whereas, the handle on the Le Creuset is much wider and easier to grab.

Maybe if you didn't have anything to compare it to, or didn't want to splurge and buy Le Crueset, maybe this pot would be okay. But, I decided to send it back and buy me a larger Le Creuset pot even if it costs me a bit more.

"fabulous", This was just what I was looking for and works great. A must for any kitchen.

"Can't go wrong here", I purchased this pot a few months back and it is probably the best I own- and I have tried to buy quality kitchenware. It is the first pot I reach for when making my family's favorite pilaf, or any other rice dish for that matter. Rice turns out perfectly every time. It can't be beat for soups and stews or other dishes that need to cook slowly over a long period of time. I've never had anything burn or stick to this pan. Love the nubs on the lid that drop moisture back into the pot and it's stylish enough to place directly on the table (with a heavy pad or thick wooden board underneath it of course!) The only drawback (expected) is the weight, which gave me problems when I dislocated my shoulder, but hubby and sons gladly did the lifting for me until I could manage myself. If I ever had to get rid of all my other cookware and chose only 3 or 4 pans, I'd choose this one first.

"Magnificent Stew and Soup Pot", Beautifully crafted dutch oven from France - on par with the Le Creuset cast iron pots but with a better, richer color and the self-basting lid. Matte black porcelain interior finish less likely to be marred by cooking and stirring. Overall an excellent value for a serious piece of cooking equipment.
