The big-batch French oven that turns a rainy Sunday into a freezer full of dinner.The 7-quart Staub Round Cocotte is the workhorse French Dutch oven, heavyweight enameled cast iron, hand-finished in France, with a silhouette that has stayed essentially unchanged since the 1970s. The 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, and 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: it 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. Spiked self-basting lid with continuous rainfall effect, retains ~10% more moisture than flat-lid Dutch ovens Matte black interior enamel, naturally seasons, ideal for searing Heavyweight cast iron for even heat retention Compatible with all cooktops including induction Oven-safe to 500°F Dishwasher safe; hand wash recommended to preserve the brass knob Use silicone, wood, or nylon utensils on the matte interior Size: 7 qt, approximately 13.9" x 11" x 7.2" tall, serves 7 to 8 Material: enameled cast iron with brass knob Lifetime warranty Made in France
