Cook, bake and serve a Lunar New Year feast in this heirloom-quality French oven that goes effortlessly from stove to oven to table. Embossed with an ornate snake swirling around a brass knob, the lid tops the matte black cast iron pot with dramatic beauty. The pan cooks evenly and efficiently thanks to its heat-retaining material, and the dark glaze resists chipping and cracking. Staub's signature matte black interior excels at braising, roasting and caramelizing and is scratch resistant and easy to clean. The unique spiked lid creates a rain-forest effect that returns juices back on the food, providing continuous, natural basting. Celebrating the year of the snake, this French oven makes a fabulous gift or a stunning centerpiece to holiday meals.
