I've owned Le Crueset pots before, and while they are wonderful, I fell in deep lust with this Staub 8qt in Grenadine while browsing at Sur La Table one day. I held out for a long time, but with a recent amazon gift card windfall for my birthday decided to go ahead and splurge. I love this pot, cooked steak soup, white bean soup and a roast in the past week and they all tasted 10x better than they normally do. This is my favorite kitchen item and I have a feeling this will be come my go to pot for everything from boiling potatoes to making slow braised ribs. If you are thinking about purchasing this, don't hesitate like I did = wishing I'd bought it years ago!

I bought an 8 qt round Staub a while back and loved it until today. I was cooking a stew on the stove, something I've done hundreds of times, when I heard a 'pop' and all of a sudden liquid spilled all over the stove top. Upon examination, I found a crack from the top of the pot and along the bottom! I've used this pan and have many Le Creusets (which have never given me any problems) many times. For a pan that cost me nearly $300, I'm beyond upset that it has not held up at all. I would not recommend this brand at all.

The pot arrived on time, and it's everything my wife wanted in an enameled dutch oven. Very pleased.

I'm not much of a cook, but my new Staub pot makes me look great! The flavors of the food just blend together in ways that make the one-pot dishes taste sooooooo good. Because this pot is so pretty, you just set it on the table and serve, which saves work after dinner. My husband and I bought it for each other for Christmas. His first comment when he lifted the lid out of the box was "You bought us a manhole cover?!" I said, disapprovingly, "Obviously, you have not noticed the basting spikes." I guess it does give you an idea about how heavy this pot is, even without anything in it. Anyway, I love it.

I love love love my Staub enameled cast iron pot! I bought mine at a retail store that was discontinuing the sunflower color and I got a great deal on it. I used it for the first time today and I am very pleased. I would not want to go larger or it wouldn't fit in my sink to clean. This size gives me a lot of versatility. I just cooked 3.5 pounds of braised short ribs with veggies and potatoes. I only used salt and pepper. When they came out they were the most delicious and moist! The lid really self bastes and there are no drips when you open up the pot. You don't have to be exact with the timing. Also, you should cook at lower temperatures because the pot retains heat so well.
I could have fit more in the pot or maybe less. It is 2 nights dinner for 2 small adults and 2 toddlers. This is the perfect size if you ever plan on cooking for the holidays or roasting a chicken, etc. I do plan on getting a 4 quart, but this can be used for most things. For leftovers, just put in the fridge and reheat on the stove top.
This is one heavy beast, but me (105lb) have no trouble lifting it full. You must be careful removing anything hot from the oven. Did I mention it is absolutely gorgeous! I ordered a Le Creuset and ended up returning it. It seemed like half the pot of the Staub. The LC was thinner and the lid didn't seal very well. The handles were smaller and the pot wasn't as beautiful. There were way too many irregularities in the enamel as well.
I wanted to like the LC, but I have been converted. My husband saw it as well and he liked this one much more.
