Staub Round Cocotte, 7-Quart

The 7-quart Staub Round Cocotte is the workhorse French Dutch oven — heavyweight enameled cast iron, hand-finished in France, with a silhouette that's stayed essentially unchanged since the 1970s. Staub's signature spiked self-basting lid creates a constant rain of moisture over the food inside, locking in roughly 10% more humidity than a flat-lid Dutch oven; the matte black interior enamel is textured to brown like seasoned cast iron and develops more character with every use.

The 7-quart size is the big-roast, weekend-cooking size — fits two whole chickens, a generous beef stew for eight, a couple of no-knead loaves, or a pot of bolognese big enough to freeze half.

From Staub, the French enameled cast-iron maker now part of the Zwilling J.A. Henckels family. Lifetime warranty.
