Staub is the best (for me, of course)! I bought myself one over 20 years ago it is like a new one!❤ Beautiful video for us cooking lovers!
I found a Le Creuset oval Dutch oven for less than half price at Home Goods last weekend. I’m just so excited I had to tell everyone.
As always top notch review
Great find! And I appreciate the kind words :)
Thank you for this excellent review! I was a lodge person until I spotted sales on Staub and purchased two 5.5 QT tall dutch ovens. They are THE best! I love cooking or reheating anything in them given how even they maintain temperature! Just subscribed to your channel!
Thank you!!!
Imagine if Le Creuset designs a lid that has those little spots. They would become almost perfect.
Yesd exactly. The need to do this
There are many little brands that add the nobs to the lid while keeping a light colored interior. I prefer the dark finish, but that’s me.
Staub for the win! I got one for Christmas 5 years ago and I LOVE it.
Thanks for the review👍
Yes. Very good UA-cam channel.
I have a Le Creuset and a Staub and find myself always reaching for the Staub.
I have le cruset stainless cookware set…12 pots and pans plus lids. It was not inexpensive by any means. BUT…for my enameled cast iron I chose Staub. For the cost of my 3 Staub pots, I equaled my investment in Le Cruset stainless. However it must be said that I use at least one Staub every day whereas I only choose a Le Cruset a couple times a week. I keep looking to the next Staub piece I will select with excitement and anticipation of its acquisition…cost be damned. If you love cooking, cook all the time, just one Staub Dutch oven will be your life long companion in the kitchen and prove its value day after day, year after year and hopefully, with good care, get fought over as much as your silver or your fur coat once you depart.
Yes! They are and they are my favorite pots! They are a small investment for a life time piece of cookware!
They suck. Dutch ovens don't do anything any normal pot or pan can't do other than sticking it in the oven.
They're overpriced and overhyped
@@urdadshusband781 As a professional chef, I would disagree with your assessment.
@@vickyburton2434 what can it do a pot or pan can't
Good job, as always 👏
Yes.👍.
Appreciate that!
Staub. My wife thought I was bonkers for spending so much money on a Dutch Oven. Ha! Then she was served the fruits of my labors. Staub is worth the investment, and I'm sure my daughter and her kids will be delighted when they inherit them.
0:56 Did you just call that snail a lobster? lol 😂👍
Great review. I would have preferred seeing Staub compared to Le Creuset's Signature line over its Classic line.
I would love to see a scientific evaluation of how well the enamel coating hold up to wear over time from staub and other brands. People always claim it, but it would be great to measure some way. Maybe something to induce accelerated wear like heat cycles or fill it some chemical?
Great suggestion!
17 yrs , I cook every day , bake bread in 420 degrees 3 times a month and my Le Creusets look like new .
One thing to know is that Staub's bottom is slightly thicker than walls. I have several pieces, and they are all excellent for braising, cooking rice, even baking.
I have a Dutch oven that comes from Belgium. 😊
EXCELLENT video.
🇺🇸🌎👍❤
Thank you!
Hey! Wanted to ask if you can review the American-made Lodge Dutch ovens. They're designed differently compared to their previous model and my concern is if that introduces some irregularity in cooking or the like.
Great suggestion. I plan to!
@@PrudentReviews Thank you! Got concerned because the v-shaped designs might become a hotspot when cooking. Much appreciated that you replied!
Good review! I have used the Staub many times at my sisters home and I don’t like it at all. The black interior makes me feel as though I’m blind! I wouldn’t buy one myself for that reason. I have a Cuisinart that has worked great for fifteen years. I love it.
That's pretty common when you're not that great of a cook😂
Better review than ATK!
😀 thank you!
After watching this video and others, I think I'm going to skip the enameled Dutch ovens and stay with traditional black iron. I can get a US made Lodge Dutch oven for a fifth of the price of even the least expensive French-made enameled D.O., and the only disadvantage is that you have to keep it seasoned...I don't really regard that as a disadvantage, since I have to season my cast iron skillet anyway.
Its really a small investment for a lifetimes worth of cooking, but I guess you can say the same thing about the cast iron. At the end of the day you can cook great food in these pots all the same, some of them are just a little nicer to live with, plus their absolutely beautiful pots.
Is it dutch? I didn't know.
It’s made in France. It’s sometimes called a cocotte, French oven, or Dutch oven. Regardless of the name, it’s an enameled cast iron pot with a heavy lid.
@@PrudentReviews I 👍 them. Heavy pans but good.
In Brazil we make soap stone pans and others that only exist here.
Cocotte in French. Cast Iron Casserole, in English except in the US where they invent there own description, other wise never heard of a Dutch Oven until a couple of years ago.
Please. Glass pans.
Why PYREX doesn't make pans?
Glass is fragile and a poor heat conductor, so it's not a popular material for stovetop pots and pans.
@@PrudentReviews Pyrex actually makes enameled cast iron dutch ovens, they call that range 'SlowCook' but it might be available in Europe only.
It has a sand colored interior like Le Creuset, but the lid is flat on top with a self basting system inside.
Team Le Creuset all the way 😌 been using it for 17 yrs and looks like new . I bake bread 3 times a months in 420 degrees and cook every day.
When it comes to a Dutch oven just get a lodge. These expensive ones are a total waste of money.
I would disagree. The Staub is a superior quality and will last a lifetime.
I like Tramontina....
I’m a fan too, great value
I like God.
@@PrudentReviews Yes. God is so.
Fake news or minion. Only God knows.
Yes. Good company. 👍.
That lobster sure looks like a snail…. 😅
Lobster
staub is a german name, you pronounce it wrong, the way you say staub sounds french good cast iron
Please, 'Cocotte' (it's even writ large on the lid). Nothing Dutch about it...
lol
"Loo" Creuset? ... really ... "Loo"?
How do you pronounce it correctly?
@@PrudentReviews barely pronounce the short 'e' ... L'
@@WERC-lawyer I tried to follow this ua-cam.com/video/8lrTa_VbxxM/v-deo.html
@@PrudentReviews don't shape your lips with an american "ooo", leave them like the "uh", but the tip of tongue is flat, touching nothing, suspended halfway between upper and lower teeth.
Why are you pronouncing the Le as Loo
Le Creuset explains how to pronounce it in one of their videos and it sounds more like loo or luh. But I could be wrong, I took Spanish not French in high school…
@@PrudentReviews seems you're right!
You really do need to learn the proper pronunciation of the name products that you are reviewing before review them. It is unprofessional to not do so and disrespectful. imagine someone repeatedly doing so to you name in a conversation...
It would also be nice if metric units are used.
