Costco Shoppers Say This Iconic Brand's 2-in-1 Cast Iron Braiser That's 'Perfect for Larger Meals' Is the 'Best' You Can Buy
A good-quality cast-iron Dutch oven can last you a lifetime. You can cook just about anything in one, they can go from stovetop to oven and they’re heavy-duty, meaning they’ll stay in good shape if taken care of. While most of them are perfect for braising a pot roast, making soup or stew, frying chicken or baking sourdough bread, this new Costco find has an added bonus.
The Staub 7-Quart Cast Iron Braise and Grill has everything you could want in a Dutch oven, with a bonus lid that turns into a grill pan. That’s right - once you’re done simmering a pot of butternut squash soup, you can flip the lid over, heat it on the stovetop and grill bread to dip in it. The base and lid are made of enameled cast iron, which allows for perfect browning and easy release. Both pieces can be used on an induction stove and are oven safe up to 500 degrees.
What Can I Cook With Staub's Braise and Grill?
The possibilities are endless with this two-piece set, and Staub has given us some ideas to consider. You can char vegetables on the grill top, then simmer them in the pot to make a sauce; you can simmer tomato soup in the pot and make grilled cheese sandwiches on the top; and you can grill chicken on the top, then transfer it to the pot to finish in the oven.
As a bonus, this set is dishwasher safe, which is the opposite of traditional non-enameled cast-iron, which is hand-wash only and must be seasoned. These pieces do not need to be seasoned.
What Fans Are Saying About It
Fans are raving about it and leaving 5-star reviews. “Purchased this to add to my Staub collection. I much prefer the interior of the Staub vs. Le Creuset. It browns better, doesn’t stain when braising with red wine or dark stock, and is easier to clean”, exclaimed a fan.
“Heavy and flawless finish, arrived in perfect condition, excellent on induction and the smooth bottom is kind to glass cooktops. The lack of a knob on the lid helps it fit a bit better in my oven, especially when I'm trying to use two racks”, said one person.
