Staub Enameled Cast Iron Shallow Oval Dutch Oven
Best premium cookware for discerning home chefs.
The shallow, oval profile offers a wider footprint that makes browning large roasts and whole birds significantly easier than in a standard round pot. You sacrifice the vertical depth of a traditional Dutch oven, but you gain the superior searing surface necessary for building deep, complex flavors.
