Review: Excellent investment! - My fist cast iron pot, I spent an age comparing Staub and Le Creuset. Both are superb and similar in price, but I settled upon a Staub. I couldn’t be happier. . . I’m a fully-qualified chef, although I haven’t worked in the profession for many many years. However, I know a decent piece of kit when I see and use it. The Staub is wonderful. From the lovely packaging to the vessel itself, it’s all good. As per the picture (taken just before I popped it into the oven, I might add!) one of the things I’ve cooked is a leg of lamb. All I can say is it produced an excellent result. The main reason I chose Staub over Le Creuset is the lid design. Two points - Firstly, the Staub lids are tighter-fitting and have a small lip around the inside meaning far less liquid is able to escape. Secondly, the Staub lids are self-basting. This is a Big Deal. The lids have small nipples that collect condensation which in turn slowly drips moisture evenly across the surface of the meat during the cooking process. Let me tell you, this works magnificently, my leg of lamb was tender and oh so juicy. For the lid design alone, I’m glad I went with Staub. Another great advantage of cast iron is its heat-retaining abilities. Place a stew or whatever in the Staub on the table in front of guests and not only does it look great but the pot will keep that food hot for a good 30 minutes, giving guests plenty of time to help themselves to piping-hot seconds. I’m looking forward to building a collection over time. For those that are unaware, a couple of points to remember when cooking with any cast iron cookware - put them on the hob and heat them up gently to start with. Low to medium heat with a bit of oil and just bring up to temperature fairly gradually. Likewise, when you’ve finished cooking with it, never put it into cold water while still very hot. Cast iron is the best overall material for cooking, just be aware that it’s best to avoid sudden extreme temperature changes. It’s also good practice, once you’ve finished washing and drying it, to add about a tablespoon of oil to the pot and spread it around the pot and lid before storage. I use kitchen towel. Just a very thin film of oil is all you’re looking for, there should be no real visible sign of it when finished. This will help preserve the interior finish for years and years - after all, it wasn’t cheap! And finally - don’t use any metal utensils in the pot. The enamel interior is very durable, but I’d advise only using wooden or plastic utensils as a precaution. Edit** One thing I failed to mention was how to handle these fellas when cooking on the hob. Once brought up to temperature, with the sides hot to the touch, turn your hob down to its lowest possible setting. Seriously. I mean it. Once hot, it only takes a VERY low setting on the hob to maintain that temperature. For example, when my Staubs are hot I turn the hob down to setting 1 out of ten. That’s plenty to maintain the temperature of the Staub. Also, just be mindful to check every 20 minutes or so and add more liquid if required. Some people moan about food sticking. I strongly suspect that, once hot, they’re leaving their hob on a medium to high setting. They’re possibly also not adding enough liquid during the cooking process. Remember this. In summary - I really couldn’t be happier. It’s a brilliant piece of cookware and as mentioned earlier, I very much look forward to building my Staub collection!
Review: Possibly better than LC... just saying - Nice bit of kitchen kit. I think this represents excelllent value for money when compared to LC. I've used it for sourdough bread baking, daube de boeuf, braised lamb, roasted a 2k chicken and made some soup - and its handled eveything like a champ. It's easy to clean (by hand) I really wouldn't bother putting this in a dishwasher - for 1) the glaze will inevitably fade over time. 2) It's a big (6.7l) and 3) I just wouldn't put something like this in a dishwasher anyway. So my tip is: don't be lazy and wash it by hand, it deserves it afterall. Looking for something that's better than LC? You've found it. Fill ya-boots. Nuff said.
