Staub 7qt Sapphire Enameled Cast Iron Oval Dutch Oven

*Please read all ($420) Rare & very difficult/impossible to find this 7qt in this color-even as a second choice (as purchased). Place I purchased from sold out long ago. Staub's innovative enamel coating takes cast-iron cooking to the next level with improved performance, style and durability. The oval shape, cast-iron construction and heavy lid of this oven make it ideal for roasting a chicken to tender perfection. Heavyweight enameled cast iron transfers and retains heat evenly. Features a multicoat enameling, which creates a glossy, vibrantly colored "majolique" finish that resembles fine ceramics. Resistant to rust, chipping and cracking, the coating requires no additional seasoning like some other cast-iron pieces. Specially formulated black matte interior enamel of each piece contains traces of quartz, giving it additional heat resistance and a rougher surface resulting in better browning. Lid knob on are made of nickel-plated brass. Ideal for use on all cooktops, including induction. Dishwasher safe. Made in France. Commercial Grade: Thoughtfully designed and expertly engineered to meet rigorous standards and best practices from select commercial testing. **This is a 2nd choice model that I purchased for myself but never used. Cosmetic blemish is the only one & is not progressive. It has another coating over it & it will not affect performance. I purchased the pig knob for $40 and put it on. It is available for $40 upon request. It will come w/regular round knob only
