5.25 qt, Essential French Oven, grenadine

From easy and time-saving one-pot meals to braising or roasting your-pick-of proteins for juicy and tender meat, you’ll enjoy endless possibilities—and endless meals!—with this practical, yet oh-so sophisticated cast iron pot.

With its high, sloped sides, this pot allows you to reach every corner, making it easy to mix and stir stews more efficiently and with better heat circulation. This deep, versatile shape does it all from simmering brothy soups and braising short ribs, to baking no-knead bread and reducing sauces. The curved body is especially handy for stir frying and cooking one-pot dishes.

Our STAUB enameled cast iron requires no seasoning and possesses exceptional heat-retaining qualities. It heats evenly throughout, ensures exceptional browning, heat retention and distribution. Inspired by the shape of a Chistera basket, the unique and textured self-basting lid creates a rain-forest effect for continuous self basting. Food is always perfectly cooked…and intensely flavorful.

Rooted in French culinary heritage, STAUB cookware is beloved by professional and home chefs for its exquisite craftsmanship, exceptional performance, and timeless beauty. Each STAUB pot effortlessly and elegantly transitions from the oven to the table - you can cook and serve in the same dish. Built to last a lifetime, these heirloom pieces are designed to be passed from generation to generation.
