Distinguished performance meets elegant design

The Staub 4-qt round Dutch Oven in Peony Pink blends robust performance with a striking table presence. Built from heavy-gauge cast iron, it excels at slow-cooking, braising, and simmering, delivering consistent heat from edge to edge. The matte black enamel interior supports browning and flavor development, while the enameled exterior adds a chef-grade finish that transitions effortlessly from kitchen to table.

What sets Staub apart is its thoughtful moisture management. The lid features tiny spikes on the interior that continually return condensed juices back onto the food. This rain-forest effect helps keep meats tender and vegetables vibrant, without constant stirring. Together with the self-basting lid and high-heat tolerance, the pot supports a variety of techniques—from searing to long, gentle braises—without the need for complex equipment.
