STAUB 4QT BLACK COCOTTE

Made in France, Staub cookware is one of the best in the world.  Designed by chefs, it provides all of the features you need to create wonderful dishes.  The interior has a pebbled finish, which means that the cooking juices stay distributed rather than pooling in the middle.  The straight sides mean that the steam goes up and catches on the buttons on the lid.  The steam then condenses and "rains" on the food, keeping everything moist. 

This is the Dutch oven Bake From Scratch magazine recommends for baking bread.
