For serious cooks or for those who simply love having truly beautiful, heirloom worthy cookware, in both form and function, on can do no better than this Staub 12.75 quart (12 L) cast iron Dutch oven/cocotte. Based in Alsace, France, Staub is known, alongside its peer, Le Creuset, for making the finest, longest lasting enameled cast iron cookware on earth. What sets Staub apart is its durable, black matte enamel interior that doesn\'t chip over time, and becomes naturally non-stick with continued use. Also, unique is itsself-basting lid, with precise protrusions on its underside that draw vapor back onto foods being braised, keeping them moist and tender.

Apparently, this model and size is no longer being manufactured, so this is a rare opportunity for collectors of top-end cast iron, as well as those who wish both optimal performance, as well as something majestic to bring directly to the table.
The color is graphite, both low-key, and elegant. With proper care, this cocotte will last for generations.
This item is pristine, absolutely unused, and, except for taking the photos in this listing, has remained in its original box. Having been in storage with various things placed on tip, the box itself isn\'t in perfect shape, but it is fully intact. The original literature is included.
This is a unique item that, if found at all in the United States, sells for considerably more (search William Sonoma, 13 qt).
