If you’re talking about fancy, French cast-iron Dutch ovens, Staub is a name that comes up quickly and rises to the top. The shiny, enameled cookware is handsome on any stovetop, but devotees will say the Staub difference is underneath the lid, which has small, so-called “moisture spikes” built in. These create a sort of self-basting situation, keeping your braising meat or stew as juicy as possible. And right now, this four-quart, cherry red, round Staub cocotte — the fancy, French term for a Dutch oven — is the cheapest we’ve ever seen it, for just $100 on Amazon. (According to the manufacturer, the list price for this model is $407, so that’s 75 percent off.)
It’s a great price for a jaw-dropping gift for a serious home cook who might not have a ton of storage space, or buy it for yourself and get your hygge on. It’s just big enough to fit a whole bottle’s worth of mulled wine, or to make a stew for two. And if cherry isn’t your color, the matte black and turquoise cocottes are also on sale for the same price.
