 "All that and a "No Knead" Artsan Bread Baker too!" 2009-01-23
By Chef Ed (Los Gatos, CA USA)
I am an American who became a chef in Paris, France, and fell in love with Le Creuset enameled cast iron cookery over a decade before the first Staub "La Cocotte" was cast. Staub innovations deliver the cooking performance, commercial durability, and increasingly easy cleanup that clearly surpassed Le Creuset. The "Almost No Knead" artisan quality bread touted by the New York Times and Cooks Illustrated bakes up better in the oval cocotte. The even heating quality of Staub cast iron and the superior tight fitting lid design allow this easy-to-make, healthier, crusty, yeast raised "slack dough" bread rival bread baked in expensive steam injected commercial ovens that sells for over $4 a loaf! The oval shape and size of this cocotte bakes a large loaf that slices well. Granted, cast iron is heavy... but heavy is the secret to spectacular cooking (and baking) as Staub interior enamel is the secret to easier cleanup with prolonged use. My home kitchen now includes a bevy of Staub bargains bought on Amazon.com and delivered fast and free on Amazon Prime. For a consummate shopper like yours truly, there is nothing quite like buying the best products at the best price from the best web merchant! -Chef Ed

 "Very pleased" 2009-01-17
By Rebelclipper (FL, USA)
This product has met all our expectation. Its quality is superior and its exterior look is beatuiful. Whe spent 3 weeks in France this summer and my son used the cast iron cookware and was hooked. He used the LeCreuset brand so that is what he wanted. After much research I felt the Staub cookware was a better product so I purchase it for him. I was right. He is much happy with the quality and proformance of the Staub cookware both are very good products but the Staub is a step above. I will continue to buy him more of this cookware. He is a gourmet and takes his cooking seriously. I reap the benefits

 "I love the Staub cast iron" 2008-10-25
By Judy L. (Marengo, Il. USA)
I have had this Staub dutch oven for a couple of months and have found so many uses for it. I have gotten rid of all my slow cookers and use this dutch oven instead. I have made pot roasts a couple of times and they come out so tender. Everything can be done in one pot because this dutch oven can be used on the stove and in the oven. You can saute onions and garlic and then brown the meat. After adding water, you can bring it to a boil before putting it into the oven. When potatoes and vegetables are added later, you can bring it to a boil again before returning it to the oven. This saves time in getting the water back to temperature after adding ingredients. I've also made some wonderful soups and stews using this dutch oven.



Cleanup is a breeze. Just rinse with hot water and wipe with a dish rag. Nothing sticks.

 "Staub a True Competitor" 2007-02-06
By T. Smith (California wine country)
I have hoped to find a true competitor to Le Creuset for years, one that was more affordable and of the same quality. Staub fills the bill, and fills it with style. This cocotte is large enough to accomodate a good-sized chicken, and is perfect for slow-cooked stews and braises. The interior coating is easy to clean and effectively non-stick. While its weight may be a deterrent for some, it is so attractive that it can be left on the stovetop or on a counter for easy access. It is my best purchase of the year and I look forward to using it for years to come.

 "Thorough." 2009-06-23
By Aaron C. Ettlin (Portland)
A culinary encyclopedia for all things European, ancient and modern. Current version includes more world cuisine. Also, at $55 hardcover, this is a steal. Really more of a reference than a cookbook, although it does have some hundreds of recipes. English translation is slightly awkward at times, mostly in describing recipe steps, although still completely followable. Heavy book.

 "Gastromonde to aspiring home cook" 2009-05-21
By L. Sauer (Morrison, CO)
A fantastic collection of information, useful for not only the master chef who needs a reference book, but for those of us seeking to push our home-bound skills to the next level. Larousse is the true encyclopedia of culinary knowledge. It is essential in any well-stocked kitchen, not because it will be pulled and perused daily, but because it can be that resource that saves a spoiled meal in the last minutes with its quick and accessible insights.

 "Library Staple" 2009-02-08
By Willie
Bought this as a gift. What a monster. It has succinct detailed info about all aspects of French and other countries' cuisine. Goes way beyond recipes with info about food handling, preparation, storage, substitutions for ingredients. Lots of facts about how to use ingredients best and their roles in cooking. Lots of interesting history. There were 3 pages on butter! Great pictures in beautifully edited book. Of course, many excellent recipes. It has become one of the top references in our cooking library. We highly recommend this gem.

 "Not Too Useful" 2009-01-29
By Ben (Western USA)
It seems like this is mostly a dictionary of dish titles with descriptions of what they consist of. It is neither an encyclopedic reference to ingredients, techniques, or styles nor a catalog of recipes. Much of the cuisine is impractical for the home, and most of the rest is too old fashioned for professionals that work in a competitive and trendy environment. I use Joy of Cooking extensively at home and was looking for more base knowledge like that found in the introduction to sections and the know your ingredients parts. Larousse is very encompassing but appears also to be very cursory. It makes a great source for obscure trivia.

 "Awesome" 2009-09-11
By Roger Breton Jr. (Leominster, MA)
Great water filtration pitcher. I was going to get the Brita, but after reading several poor reviews in design and about leaking orings i decided to get this. It Filters water quite fast. I used to buy the 2.5 gallon water with a tap from the grocery store and after getting this have saved so much money just after a few months and i cant even tell the difference. It goes a little faster because its only 1.1 gallons, but if you just fill it up every night before you go to bed, sometimes twice a day just to keep the water ice cold its really worth it. I have not had any leaks, i have not had any mold or mildew. Stays crisp for the 2 months the filter is good. When i change the filter i wash it. Couldnt have asked for a better product both to save money and save space in the refrigerator as its pretty well designed. You should buy this!!

 "Supposedly removes pharmaceuticals" 2009-09-09
By LawyerMom (USA)
I am an avid believer in filtered water especially after reading reports about pharmaceuticals in the public drinking water. In Philadelphia, there were 56 types of drugs found in the water there. Hormone drugs commonly used for transgendered individuals were found in the water in San Francisco.



While the amounts found were tiny, microscopic even, I am increasingly alarmed about the buildup of these chemicals, plus the usual dangers of lead, mercury, and chlorine in our water and our bodies. This box for this filter claims that it can reduce lead, mercury, and chlorine as well as pharmaceuticals (though the pharmaceuticals claim is not verified through any official testing agency).



When we moved into a new home this filter was able to meet our ample needs until we could get an under the sink filter installed. It was easy to refill, took up very little room in the refrigerator, looked nice, and was easy to use. I would fill it up and use it to fill up multiple other gallon-sized water bottles to put in my fridge. It was simple to sit it on my ledge and flip up the dispenser and the water flowed quickly and without leaking. Glad I made the purchase!

 "I will always have one of these in my fridge!!!" 2009-09-07
By Amy Jones (Austin, TX USA)
It sounds weird but I adore this water filter! It is always so nice to have cold water in the fridge. We pull it out for dinnertime and put it on a nearby counter so we can refill with ease. Our children can use it easily to get water for themselves and it's a great item to have around when we have guests over. I think we have had ours for about 5 years now. It now has a couple of cracks but that is only because we use it so much. When this one eventually is kaputt we will definitely invest in another! I highly recommend this item.



My only advice on use is to not drink the first batch of water that runs through a new filter. There probably isn't anything wrong with that water...it just tastes funny to me personally.
