Cook, bake and serve a feast in this heirloom-quality French oven that goes effortlessly from stove to oven to table. Made of heat-retaining cast iron, the pot cooks evenly and efficiently, and the matte black enamel coating resists chipping. Staub's signature matte black interior excels at braising, roasting and caramelizing and is scratch resistant and easy to clean. To ensure moist and flavorful results, the uniquely curved spikes inside the domed lid create a rain-forest effect that returns juices back on the food, providing continuous, natural basting. A brass knob adds a gleaming touch of glam. The French oven is ideally sized for generous batches of rice pudding, posole or mac and cheese.
