The STAUB 5-Quart Essential French Oven with Horse Lid is a limited-edition cast iron oven celebrating the Year of the Horse. The intricate horse design on the lid represents passion, perseverance, and fearless energy — making it as meaningful to display as it is to cook with. The high, sloped sides allow easy access to every corner for stirring soups, stews, and braises, while the deep, versatile shape handles stir-frying and deep-frying with equal ease. At 5 quarts — roughly 1 quart per serving — it is the ideal pot for serving 5 to 6 people. STAUB enameled cast iron requires no seasoning and retains heat exceptionally well, ensuring even heating, exceptional browning, and superior heat distribution throughout. The unique self-basting lid, inspired by the shape of a Chistera basket, creates a rain-forest effect that continuously and evenly returns juices back onto the food for perfectly cooked, intensely flavorful results. Rooted in French culinary heritage, STAUB cookware transitions effortlessly from oven to table — these heirloom pieces are built to last a lifetime and pass from generation to generation. Lifetime warranty.
