The wide range of STAUB products are all lovingly crafted by master artisans. Built to last a lifetime, these heirloom pieces can be passed from generation to generation.
This braiser is the *best*. I, very sadly, had a bunch of Staub pieces stolen out of storage after I moved. This was the very first piece I replaced because it is so versatile. It is a must have piece in my opinion. Fry some fish? Make some ratatouille? Boil full length spaghetti? yes yes and yes. The grenadine is pictured here with a brass knob but I did not receive a brass knob - bummer : the knob I got was silver, FYI. I had the matte black before and that was my favorite.

Stunning Braiser, absolutely terrible packaging.
Ordered 25JAN21, finally after sending the fourth damaged and chipped up braisers back I received a fifth perfect unit on 05OCT21. Its not UPS, the blame falls on the engineer who designed a box where the lid and base aren't properly isolated. I'm sorry but all future purchases will be in a store so I can do a full chip inspection. I have to say it is BEAUTIFUL. Sorry the 8 months and 4 returns caused the low rating.

One of my favorite pieces of cookware evaaahh
I own a lot of cookware. A lot. From lots of other Staub pieces (also great) to French stainless steel and tinned copper pieces. This has really earned its keep - so much so that it just sits on the stovetop now instead of going back into the cabinet. Like others have mentioned, it heats evenly and is incredibly versatile - wide enough to sear meat without crowding, enough surface area for quick reductions, great for rice dishes, sautes, stews, shellfish, sauces, it's actually my go to pan for boiling spaghetti noodles (and uses less water) or cooking/finishing pasta in sauce. I haven't used it as a roaster yet but it would also do a fantastic job roasting a good sized bird because of the shape and depth. It really has a surprisingly generous size and width despite being only listed as 3.5 qts. The rounded sides are perfect for even heating and working with a spoon/spatula etc. and I do prefer them over a straight sided saute pan. If you're having a hard time deciding on this one, you should get it. This one piece can do the job of numerous others, cleans up well, and looks good doing it.

My new 3.5-qt Staub braiser.
I just purchased this 3.5-qt Braiser. So far I've only made a pork shoulder in it, which turned out absolutely divine and only took about 2.5 hours. I did have to cut the shoulder in half to fit. I'm hoping the coating will be resilient and last a very long time, as I plan on using this braiser often. The grenadine color is lovely.

Staub Cast Iron 3.5-qt Braiser - Grenadine
The braiser is a nice size for everyday cooking. I got this to replace the daily pan I was using before. This holds a good amount of food to cook for a family and is large enough for place strips of bacon flat in the pan. The heavy duty lid is good for braising but I also got a glass lid so that I can see eggs when they are cooking.
