Description

Please note visual imperfections are final and cannot be returned.

This product may have minor visual imperfections, though this will not affect the product's performance. This may include discolouration, blemishes, or chips that have been enameled over.

The dark blue cocotte from Staub’s La Cocotte series can be used in almost any kitchen. The big advantage of the cocotte is that it can distribute and retain heat well thanks to its cast iron base material. With a capacity of 5.2 litres and a diameter of 26 cm, the round cocotte in dark blue is ideal for larger households or for use in the professional world. You can use this casserole to emphasise healthy, easy and gentle cooking. The lid fits tightly on the pot so that hardly any heat can escape. It also has a drop-shaped structure to allow any collected condensation to be evenly redistributed back into the dish. You can use this cooking equipment on all types of cookers including induction hobs. Not only cast iron is used in the production of this cocotte: it is also coated with various enamels to ensure that heat can be optimally retained. As a result, the heat is evenly released to food. A typical feature of these type of dishes is the braising effect, i.e. the enhancement of food’s natural flavour. This dark blue cocotte from Staub offers numerous benefits and enhances your kitchen with a useful cooking instrument that you’re bound to often use in everyday life or on special occasions.

Staub La Cocotte 26-cm_5.5-qt 5.25 l cast iron round Cocotte, dark-blue - Visual Imperfections dark-blue is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 40.
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Major Imperfections Bought many products from Zwilling/Staub in the past with visual imperfections. In this case, I bought the 6.7L Cocotte in Grenadine with visual imperfections. I received a product with over 20 significant imperfections on the lid, on the outside of the pot and in the pot's black interior. I have never received a Staub cast iron item with so many major imperfections before — far more than the usual case for products marked "visual imperfections." Proceed with caution as these items are marked "final sale," and customer support has been non-responsive.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Rusting spots appeared in 2 weeks I bought this cocotte at homesense. I used twice and noticed rusting spots on lids within 2 weeks of purchase. I contacted customer services and was told to ship back to warehouse for 'assessment'. (Shipping on me and they won't responsible for lost in transit).

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Interior black finish peeled off after second use Buyer beware! Staub manufacturing standards are not consistent. I used my new cocette only 2 times and the interior black finish peeled off at the bottom of the pot! To make things worse, Zwilling puts the expense of shipping a cast iron pot on the customer if you do not have their store in your province. Will only replace producer and not refund you either. My first Staub purchase will be my last.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great oven, great price Love my Cherry Cocotte. It's a pleasure to cook with, beautiful to look at and it's now a fixture on my cooktop. I got it at a great price as it apparently had 'visual imperfections' but if there are imperfections they're very minor and I wasn't actually able to spot any. It is fairly heavy especially with the lid on - it's fine for me but something to keep in mind - check the specs before you purchase if this is a concern.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great piece! This is my third time ordering a Staub with minor defects - they are fabulous and the price terrific. The « defects » are so minimal they are barely noticeable. I’ve even gifted these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing dutch oven! Worth every penny that I spent. The meat comes out so juicy and tender and the lid doesn’t let anything come out. All the goodness stays inside the pot.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Watch out for "visual imperfection" I did not realize the one I picked was a visual imperfection. I'm super upset about that because the non imperfection is the same price

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great purchase Great product, I am very pleased with the item. Really nice colour and I cannot see the imperfections. Super happy with the purchase.

What exactly is meant by "visual imperfections"?  Chips/cracks or just imperfections in the paint process during manufacturing? Thanks!

Asked by: jojo123

Does it still come with lifetime warranty?

Asked by: Arnaud

Where are minor visual imperfections? Inside or outside the cocotte?
