Staub. French. Cheap. Lasts more than humans do.

$150 gets 4QT.

these were $100 for so long. now it's $150 but still a good deal.

i love my staubs but they used to be such a great deal. much cheaper than LC before it became well known.

STAUB, all day, every day. A STAUB griddle pan, a STAUB 3-4 qt (or two, actually)and a (good, I prefer Allclad) 8 qt Stainless pot for pasta/big stuff, a 12”frying pan, and a sauce pan, are all the pans you need in a kitchen! The bigger STAUBs that sell over $200 are not necessary and get VERY HEAVY, when full of food…any two sub 4 qt can handle dinner for 4 or sides that serve 8-10. Have had mine for years and they clean up and look good as new….oven, grill or stove top to table to fridge. You won’t be disappointed.

$129.97 black friday deal.

Worth every cent.

5 quart is $150. I really want a 7 quart but it’s a big price jump

I have one of each. I have a family of 4 and use the 7 quart a lot.

SOLD. Total impulse buy. Thanks, I think? :)

I bought a lightly used Staub and it's my regular go-to. I love it.

For the life of me, I can't understand why people pay for Le Creuset.

Pretty colors, apparent reputation, product placement.

None that matters for food preparation.

Apparently they’re famously generous with their warranty

With those prices, they can afford to be

That’s true. I just picked up a 35 dollar “President’s Choice” (Canadian grocery store private label) 5 qt enamelled. Really curious to see how it lasts. I have low expectations, but I’m game for being pleasantly surprised.

I have this one -- in this thread because I'm looking to replace it. It's fine, does what it needs to, but found that it scratches pretty easily. Still, ours has lasted us 4 years, which isn't bad for only $35. May have lasted longer if I had a better idea of how to care for them properly when we first got it.

Mine has a small scratch already which is disappointing since I’m pretty gentle. 4 years certainly isn’t terrible for the money.

I recently changed all my kitchen set (I needed new ones anyways) into either All Clad, Staub and Le Creuset. I don’t buy sets, just individual pieces that fits my need. I want items that I can use for life.

IME it's easier to find Le Creuset on the used market. I got my 4qt for about $50. How can I say no to that?

Staub also has the bubble texture on the underside of the lids so moisture is more evenly distributed. They are a smaller company that cares about their products and I’m now a fan for life.

Costco has one, technically a braise, with a cover that doubles as a broiler. Just had it delivered yesterday.

I picked one of these up last year. Best purchase ever. Huge, cleans up easily, and we make paninis in the lid. We needed something bigger than our Le Creuset pot and this is an absolute pleasure to cook in.

Do you know if the inside is relatively smooth or if there are any differences depending on the colour?

HonPhryneFisher t1_ixu2jk6 wrote

Relatively smooth. Pretty sure they are all the same. They clean very easily.

Had our staub dutch oven and cast iron pan since our wedding 10 years ago. They both still look great and we use them all the time
