It's the same as the 4qt (pic related) just 1qt "taller".

it is a good deal, I paid $99 for my 4qt, $150 for 5qt is solid.

i'd rather just cook them bone-in and then eat around the bone

Braised chicken thighs, chili, rice, baked mac and cheese, soups, mashed potatoes, etc.

Basically anything you COULD do in a roasting pan or similar you can also do in a dutch oven, if your dutch oven is large enough you can even roast a whole chicken in there.

Yes, that's the whole point of braising in these things, you can use an acid to break down your tough meats in a slow cooking method that retains most of the moisture.

Red/White wines, tomato base, etc.

it's just some basic braised chicken thighs in white wine, chicken stock, and fresh herbs from my garden.

Also some potatoes, carrots, and shallots in there.

This pic was from last year when I was using my 4qt dutch oven (instead of the 7qt I used today).

It's really easy and doesn't take more than about 2-3 hours.

thighs are good, but breasts are also good.

You can see my nips peeking out at the top of this pic

I got my Staub for $100 on sale


Just shop around and be patient, or go to estate sales and shit and hope to find an old one in good condition.

Slow cooking stuff or no-knead bread baking

Paid $99 for it

It's a 4qt Staub

I don't have any pics of it with bread or dough in it but here it is with some braised chicken thighs.

>Potatoes
>White Wine
>Chicken Stock/Broth

If you have an onion (or shallots), sage, thyme, rosemary you can make braised chicken thighs.

doesn't help when anons on here bitch and moan about your cooking and claim it's not REAL cooking because it's not some Michelin starred meal

I swear, an ACTUAL Michelin starred chef could come on here and post some of his meals and you'd STILL get people calling out his "shitty" skills.

It's just been cut into ~1.5" cubes and seared before being slow cooked.


Then at the end I remove the lid of my dutch oven and turn the heat up by ~50-75f and let the top crisp up a bit to finish it.


It's just chuck roast cubed, shallots, half a bottle of red wine (reduced by half before adding stock), thyme, rosemary, and sage, and chicken stock. Then after ~90-120 minutes in the oven at 350f I add cut up carrots and potatoes for a final 60-90 minutes (before uncovering for a final 15-25 minutes at 400-425f)

Really easy to do, just a little time-consuming.

It's the same recipe for my braised chicken thighs as well, but instead of using red wine I use white wine (pic related).

thanks anons, i like playing around with braising various things.

Doesn't always end up perfect, but usually pretty good.
