Designed for cooking larger quantities without using up stovetop space, the 5-quart Tall dutch oven is an elongated version of the classic 4-quart. The additional height is optimal for preparing bone-in meat cuts, layered dishes like tians, or those that rise, such as soufflé. The added height lessens the risk of liquids boiling over and reduces splattering when deep-frying or searing is required. Like all STAUB dutch ovens, this is ideal for slow-cooking meats and vegetables and simmering hearty stews and soups. The cast iron construction possesses exceptional heat-retaining qualities, so the pot heats evenly throughout. With its heavy weight, a textured lid interior that funnels evaporated juices back into food, and a tight-fitting lid, the dutch oven provides the ideal environment for evenly cooked, juicy, and flavorful food.
