Staub Cast-Iron Round Cocotte (seasoning, price, oven, pans)

Staub Cast-Iron Round Cocotte | Williams-Sonoma

Does it require seasoning before first use?

Thanks.

It says it is enameled, so no, it does not need seasoning. I have a Staub piece and love it.

Thanks. I am going to use it for stewing.

I'm not fond of Staub because it is ridiculously heavy - and enameled (enamel can and does chip). I prefer Magnalite (although I'm not sure that the new Magnalite today is the same quality as my older pieces). Robyn

I had several Magnalite pieces from my late MIL. I sold them on ebay for a great price.

It will be perfect for stewing.

I own a Le Creuset (same idea) and the enamel elimates that extra step. I had mine for 10 years and no chips yet and I show my pots and pans no mercy.

Wow that is really spendy for a dutch oven!
