What is included
Staub sizes this pot for 5 to 6 people, about 22 cups; by its own measure it holds 5.55 quarts. The top is 10.24 inches across and the flat bottom 8.54 inches, the figure to check against an induction zone. It is 12.87 inches from handle to handle and 6.57 inches high with the lid, 4.65 without, and weighs 12.46 lb. The spikes under the lid drip moisture back onto the food, and the black enamel inside is made for browning. Staub rates the pot to 500°F with its lid on, allows the dishwasher but recommends washing by hand, and suggests wooden or silicone tools.
