 "Great Pan" 2009-07-14
By P. Kearns (San Diego, CA)
This is a really great pan. I debated whether it was worth it (I paid more than many of the other reviewers) but knew that it was as soon as I opened up the box. Heavy, beautiful, really nice short handle with a great angle to it. Plus the pan is nice and deep, which is exactly what I was looking for. Very pleased with this. By the way, I have alot of Le Creuset as well and do love it. The Staub is equally good. I was always hesitant to buy this 'honeycomb' bottom, thinking that it would be difficult to clean and would make food stick more. Turns out that is not at all true.

 "Quality fry pan, Looks and preforms better than expected" 2009-01-24
By Joy of cooking (Bay Area)
PROS: Superior double dipped chip resistant highly attractive porcelain enamel surfaces; The massive warp-free bottom has a beautiful aquamarine ceramic space age coating;

Sides are deep sloping and allow for use as 3" deep sided roaster, fryer, or French wide oven if you have a lid; Beechwood handle easily removable yet very sturdy; Withstands up to 600F with handle removed for roasting, broiling; "Honeycomb" enamel interior creates pro-chef grill like branding of steaks and veggies; Functionally non-stick when used as directed; Cleans up in seconds with just hot water and towel; Requires no "seasoning", will never rust; Excellent ergonomics with commercial type helper handle and removable sturdy main handle; Lifetime warranty, should last generations; Exceptionally well constructed, cast in France from an individual quartz sand mold which is used only once then destroyed; made of virgin molten iron, not re-cycled cars; Superior to other Staub products based on uniformity of casting and finish. Sides are uniformly strong and just thick enough, yet bottom is thick, heavy, massive, flat and will never warp. Uniformity in the thinness of the sidewalls is a mark of superior construction; Stain-proof interior;

Perfect for all range tops including Induction, ceramic, glass, radiant, electric and gas; Heats evenly with out hot spots. Food release is excellent when lightly oiled; Any burnt on mess will float off when water is boiled inside for 10 minutes. Weight: 14lbs, Rim size: 11-1/2" , Base diam: 10" Sides 3" rim to inside bottom, 4qt capacity, Bottom cast "France 28 cm"



CONS: Lid optional, but metal rimmed glass lids are readily available. Lid from Le Creuset 7-1/4 qt oven should fit or look for a lid at just under 12" diameter. Scorching of interior enamel possible if range top heat is exceeded far beyond any realistic temperature required for searing or browning meat. High efficiency! Use lower range settings, gradually increasing until you achieve the results desired.



CARE: Clean only with hot water and nylon or bamboo bush or "Tuffy". NEVER use abrasive powders or Scotch-brite abrasive pads. Detergent not required for cleaning. Some natural food oil residue is desirable for improved food release. However, sll oil residues can be easily removed at any time by heating 1/4 teaspoon of Dawn detergent in pot for 10 minutes. Re-seasoning is not required but cooking bacon or similar after total deep clean will improve food release properties.



HANDLE: The handle end cap is solid brass and can be unscrewed. The hollow hardwood handle may then be withdrawn. This exposes a stainless steel threaded stud which can easily be removed by hand for oven use or storage.



SPECIAL INTERIOR: The smooth "honeycomb interior enamel bottom" yields master chef branding on meats and veggies. Browning is even with no hot spots. Sautes mushrooms to an even golden brown without burning the edges. Crisps potato and veggie chips to perfection. Sears beef and browns browns poultry very well.



Doubles as a deep sided roaster with the handle removed for oven or broiler use. Or even a shallow fryer. I've roasted butternut squash, meats and veggies in the oven with handle removed. Braises very well if you have a lid. Ideal for "oven fried" lo-fat chicken and roasted veggies. The integral cast loop handle and main handle cast stub are very sturdy and make for easy removal from a hot oven. Oven safe to 600F w/o handle.



Sloping sides measure 3" deep to inside bottom for easy stir frying. Bottom marked "28" for 28 cm. Rim is aprox 11-1/4" wide, while the bottom is 10". Use lower temperatures than you think you need because this pan is highly efficient.



Cleaning is a breeze. Simply de glaze with boiling water to lift carbonized food and sauces. Ordinarily, you won't wash with detergent because the small pores in the interior matte finish absorb natural food oils with each use, gradually increasing the already close to non-stick performance. In the event that you burn tomato sauce, or otherwise gum it up, simply simmer with a cover in place and with a few drops of Dawn added to several quarts of water. Rinse and towel dry. Seasoning is not required. In the event that you ever wish to remove all the oils from the interior, simply use the Dawn method above. Never use scour pads or abrasive powders as this will roughen the enamel and reduce the food release capability. Ordinarily, all that is required is a quick rinse in hot water and perhaps a a stiff nylon brush followed by towel drying. Essentially maintenance free.



Deep frying is possible with a splatter screen. Avoid very high range settings, as in trying to pop corn, or the matte finish may be scorched. Any searing, browning or crisping which you desire will occur at low or medium low temperature settings owing to the pan's high efficiency.



INDUCTION PERFORMANCE: I combined my purchase with a Supentown portable induction hob for a revolution in convenience, safety, speed of cooking, automatic timed cooking. Bonus is complete "use-it-anywhere" operation. Eliminate indoor fish fry/stir fry odors by using on your the balcony.



I've tossed out my obsolete range/oven combination. I use the portable induction hob with the Staub at home or on the go. Induction heats this massive pan in less than one minute!! Try that on your gas or electric range!



The portable induction hob has precise temp settings and a timer which frees me to attend to other errands instead of standing over a hot stove. The Staub's cast iron keeps my dinner warm for a long time after cooking allowing me to write reviews like this and have my meal later!



This purchase should last generations and will save you money in the long run while freeing landfills from endless tons of disposable cookware. I couldn't be happier with the performance, ease of use and low maintenance. As this model is discontinued by Stab, grab one while you still can.

 "No lid, but a really fine pan. " 2008-12-31
By Groch (Broomfield, CO United States)
The picture I have provided is now correct.



The description still says it comes with a lid, which it does not. I am sorry the previous reviewer was disappointed by Amazon's error, but the pan is really gorgeous, I bet they kept it anyway.



It may be 10" at the bottom on the inside, but it is 11" at the top. My Berndes 11" glass lid fits perfectly.



I am extremely pleased with this purchase. It is very heavily built (7.5 pounds of enameled cast iron) and beautifully made in France. While it is not non-stick, my experience in searing steaks indicate it is a lot easier to clean than stainless steel or cast iron, and requires no seasoning.

I did not receive the 10 inch pot with the lid, but another Staub pot, without a lid and with a wooden handle - not what I ordered at all, and certainly not what is in the description or anything like the picture. Amazon - you need to correct this.

 "Wow- what a great pan!" 2008-10-17
By tomewood (Philadelphia, PA)
We recently moved and installed an Induction Cooktop in our new Kitchen . . . I cook professionally, so I have used Induction previously, but only had a single hob countertop model . . . using Induction exclusively meant replacing all my older All-Clad and Calphalon with Induction-ready cookware.

Finding this Staub pan on amazon.com at this price was amazing . . . Staub is obviously superior to LaCreuset and Lodge (more consistent, better interior, nicer finish), and would be my first choice at full price, but at this price, it can't be beat. I made the mistake of picking-up a (China-made) cast iron skillet (similar to a lot of stuff on amazon.com and e.bay) to try-out the cooktop . . the results using it almost made me wish we hadn't gone with Induction . . . the first time I used this Staub results were great, and, as it seasons, will only get better.

Great product . . better price . .shipped in perfect condition in just 3 days (for free!).

 "Good Weather Radio" 2010-02-27
By J. Rumley (IL USA)
This is a really nice weather radio you can use for a clock radio too. The sound is only one speaker so its not good for listening to music on, but as an alert radio and weather radio it is tops. I think Midland is the best brand for this this type of radio.

My husband and I just moved from New Hampshire to Tennessee. We could drive to and from work in a Nor'Easter! But the thought of a tornado dropping down in our back yard scares my husband silly!

The radio is easy to set up and use. The emergency alert "siren" would wake up the dead!!!

The features of the radio also include an alarm clock and radio.

I would recommend it to everyone.

 "MIDLAND WR300 better than expected" 2010-02-18
By Oscar Wilde (PA)
Some reviews made me cautious about this product but once I set it up, it was better than I expected. The AM/FM radio is more of an after thought but the primary use I wanted was WEATHER and it is superb. It is much better than the old Radio Shack SAME radio I had till it died.



It is easy to set up and has plenty of options that make this SAME WEATHER Radio a must have for anyone who needs or wants a reliable SAME Weather Radio.



The AM/FM section is for general news, NOT music. It is not a good AM/FM radio but is sufficient for my purpose and does bring in the 3 AM and 3 FM stations I need.

 "life-saver" 2010-02-13
By Londa Hiler (Sterling, AK)
Before we bought this radio, we had to watch the news, keep track of weather on the computer, etc., to know whether or not a storm was headed our way. Now we "set it and forget it". It has woken us up in the middle of the night if a weather alert occurred, which is a great stress-reliever! The volume control feature is great -- it can be set for the circumstances. I like the fact that it will give alerts to only the counties or areas you designate, and can be set to receive different types of alerts. It can also be set to alert by voice, or alarm. I've never had a weather alert radio before, but I certainly recommend this one!

 "Weather radio is a life saver" 2010-01-31
By Stacy L. Heinen
We live in the country where we generally don't get good reception. Most storms seem to happen during the night when we are sleeping so we bought the weather radio to warn us of an approaching storm during the night. It has been great not only during the night but also during the day when we aren't paying attention to what the weather is doing. We know how far away the storm is and when we need to take cover. It has also been great when our Direct TV goes out and we can't get the weather to see what is happening. It also has battery back-up incase the electricity goes off. We have gotten really good reception with the radio. This is the third weather radio we have bought and this brand has worked the best where as the other two either didn't get good reception or quit working after the first year. We really like the Midland WR300 Weather radio and glad we bought it.

 "Best money EVER spent" 2010-02-28
By K. Cole (NY United States)
We got this table when my daughter was not even walking yet and she pulled herself up on it. She is going to be 3 this May and still LOVES this table. Besides being fantastic to fill up on the front porch in the summer time and let her have at it, I also use it in the winter - I put it in the kitchen and fill it with either rice or sudsy water. Sure she gets some on the floor, but it sweeps/vacuums up easily, and you just put a bucket under the drain plugs to empty it. Awesome for a snowed-in day! I would completely recommend this for anyone!

We got this toy for our daughter on her first birthday. She loved it then and continues to love it one year later. We use it outside and it is perfect in the fall, summer, and spring. The toy holds up well through the weather. I have seen pictures of people using this toy inside which could work too with the right protection but my daughter likes to walk with the water and pour it out elsewhere. This toy is also fun when friends come over because there is room for 2-3 little ones around the table.

 "A great deal... while it lasts" 2008-07-10
By Melissa M. Bondi (Arlington, VA USA)
If you're shopping for enameled cast iron, you already know the rave reviews for Le Creuset - and I agree with them. But Staub is also a fantastic product line, equally gorgeous and with its own long tradition of French-made craftsmanship.



I prefer Staub for its black, impossible-to-stain interior finish, super-heat resistant brass/stainless handle knobs and the built-in "doufeu" lid ridge to accommodate ice cubes for even more moisture/basting generation. Le Creuset sells a separate doufeu oven, at more than $250, but it's not a feature of their standard French or Coq au vin ovens.



This set is a terrific bargain - the 5 Quart Round Oven has generous handles large enough to fit four fingers, and the dimpled interior lid well described by Staub literature for optimal internal basting.



The griddle is about 9" square, with good-sized ridge depth and a very easy to use removable handle. The au gratin/mini casserole is bigger than I expected, not large enough for an entree but wide and deep enough for three baked potatoes placed at an angle within the pan. Both the griddle and the au gratin have a black, powdered exterior finish, very attractive but not the spectacular grenadine enamel of the cocotte.



I'm going to be lazy and re-print the relevant parts of this review under both the 5 Qt. cocotte and the 7.25 Qt oval (which I also own.) If you're in the market for a French oven, definitely consider Staub's features and quality -- you won't be sorry.
