This Cocotte is so great! I use this one everyday!!! So CUTE!

I purchased a 13.5 quart cocotte in dark blue. The glaze is simply gorgeous! It is a deep, true cobalt blue. It is not a royal or mid-tone blue as some of the online pictures suggest. Functionally, this pot is quite large. Its base perfectly covers a 13" burner. It is deep and spacious enough to cook a large roasting chicken or small turkey. Big batches of chowder or stew --enough to serve a crowd-- can be made in this wonderful pot. I highly recommend it to anyone who (1) loves cooking with cast iron, (2) loves eating food cooked in cast iron, (3) has an appreciation for one-of-a-kind craftsmanship (such as hand glazed thrown pottery), and (4) is able to lift, maintain, and store a very heavy large pot. I would not recommend the cocotte for 'quick and easy' high heat cooking. It is better suited to slow cooked, 'simmer all day' recipes.

I just used this yesterday and as I was washing it, noticed the underside said 4 quarts. The product I purchased says 5.5 qt. I don't know why they would charge for something that is 5.5 qt.

Let's say Staub rocks! This is our second pot... you can't go wrong with price from Wayfair. A real winner!

The size is perfect for rice cooking for 2 people.
