Something to bake all that sourdough in! 24cm/3.8L Staub cast iron cocotte in Black (picture appears to be matte black). It was in an earlier deal back in January at Myer for $299. Currently being sold at Myer for $529.95. Not sure if it is in store or just online.
I don't think you need to be a member as its not marked as a Member Only item, will edit if incorrect.
Also not here to start the Staub vs Le Creuset vs Aldi debate. Personally I use the Aldi one and have no issues with it.
No it's for two single people
So they buy one each?
No both buy half
I got this, works alright. A bit fragile as it already got some enamel chipped on the lid but it'll last a good couple years at least.
Out of stock everywhere. I tried earlier this week. Even the ones that say they have 1 or 2 units don't.
That's a really good price! I got a 26cm Le Creuset from Amazon for $364 so for a slightly smaller one that is still made in France i think is a great deal. The 26cm one is huge so the 24cm wouldnt be too much smaller you'd think?
the one you have is 5.6 litres, this one is 3.8 litres… It's a good size for cooking for 2-4 in my opinion…
Ah yes, the one I have is 5.3L so definitely much larger than the one posted.
I went through a mini search for the most cost effective cast iron casserole to cook bread. I decided on the Lodge combi cooker

Good reviews, big enough for a loaf and versatile
I wonder if it makes any difference to general cooking, ie compared to stainless steel
I'm a bit of a Le Creuset tragic, but, being a regular bread maker, I find the sand enamel in the Le Creuset to be painful for preheating (you shouldn't preheat them empty - so put water in first and tip out when ready to bake), so I have just ordered one of these for my baking endeavours. I've also ordered one for my Mum as it's such a good deal. Black enamble interiors don't require as much care as the sand enamel.
Could not bring myself to pay hundreds of $ for a Staub or Le Creuset. Had a no name one for $80 that lasted a few months before starting to chip everywhere - and I look well after my stuff.
Bit the bullet a few years back and bought a 28 cm Staub on special for, I think, $280. Still expensive but that thing still looks like new despite being used at least once a week (I’ve got a lot of other pots). No chips anywhere, excellent cooking. Is it ‘worth’ the money? Well, it’s a block of iron, really, but it very much does what I got it for and it seems it’ll keep going for years. I have a Braun stick blender that works like it’s brand new and I bought that 15 odd years ago. So, yeah, knowing when to pay for quality can pay off.
I use a cheap cast iron camp oven for bread at home. Any reason enameled would be better?
You don't have to season enamelled cast iron. Also, raw cast iron is bad for slow cooking acidic dishes, like tomato based goods. With a long cook you'll get an iron taste in the food. You should be able to find more info on Google..
So no difference for baking bread. Thanks champ.
OOS.
Yep. I also should have pulled the trigger instead of hunting around for a similar price in red.
Staub is definitely my favourite of the bunch of French casserole brands.
This is a great price, shame it's OOS.
Not in store at North Lakes, QLD
It looks tiny.
Is this for single people?
