How to make Pot roast in a Dutch oven | Staub VS Le Creuset

Le Creuset VS Staub which one is better for cooking pot roast? PLUS you get my amazing red wine braised pot roast recipe!

Both Le Creuset and Staub make great quality cookware however I think Le Creuset is better than Staub for making pot roast.

Le Creuset has wider handles on the pots so you can get a good grip on the hot heavy pans.

Le Creuset's lighter interior makes it easier to monitor what's going on inside the pan.

The lid on Staub is said to baste food during cooking according to the manufacturer but I didn't see any signs of that.

My son gave me a La Cocotte Dutch Oven last year (2023) for Christmas. Not really knowing how to use it, I found your video for pot roast and followed your instructions. It was the best pot roast I have ever made. Since it's just my husband and me, I don't do pot roast that often, but I decided since I got all my Christmas decorations put away, I would celebrate and haul out that Straub pot again and make your pot roast. At the end of your video, when you taste is and say, "Um, that is good, " what you really should say is, "OMG! That is soooo gooood!!! Seriously, it is delicious. Definitely not my mother's pot roast. Thank you for putting this video out there.

The tip on the different colors inside the pot was great

[berthastarks]

I agree with your final results. However, both roasts seem to be mouth watering. You were thorough.

[MaryanneL]

Thank you for comparing the two pots and providing the recipe.

[misterkiller]

Awesome review, they both seem good, but love seeing the details and nuances between the two!

[kimdelorme]

I love your laugh, when you had just enough wine for yourself to drink!❤😂❤❤

This is vibes I’m looking for on a Saturday morning off

Looks really delicious, i was thinking the word intoxicating at the same time you said it. You mentioned homemade bread and that would be perfect to have on the table with this meal. Thanks for the video, see you next time.

You are adorable! I am loving these videos. And I'm team Le Creuset all the way. Mine is blue just like yours.
Thanks!!!

So, I saw another review where they boiled water and then placed each lid one paper towels, to see the moisture colllected. The staub lid's numbs distributed the condensation more evenly.

Can pot roast be made on the stovetop?

[BBReviewsIt]

So juicy and succulent. You have me hungry and drooling over here. They both look great. Delicious!!!

[CookingWithCarlee]

Well now I'm hungry for pot roast! I love my enameled cast iron dutch ovens.

[craigosterberg]

Looks delicious. Nice. Both dishes look good. Blue Dutch oven is heavy. I have one.

Great tutorial/ battle. I think I'd prefer the Le Crueset in the respect that the flavors may be more intense due to less fluid content making it just a bit richer flavor <3

Loved your video. I bought my Le Creuset 5.5 quart on sale for $269.99 marked down from the retail of $420 on their website. I got it over July 4th deal and was very surprised it was marked down that much. I highly recommend like Sweetsavant said get it on sale because their MSRP is too much. I am now using this pot to feed my family of five every Sunday now. It is fabulous.

[Sunshinegirlie]

Did I miss you mentioning the sizes of the pots used?

[kimberleyindovina]

Thank you for a great video and explanation of the two pots and the recipe! I’ve been wanting to buy my first LC. This confirms what I was thinking. I do have one question…you stated at one point that you could skim off the fat in the pot. How would that be done before thickening it up? Thanks!

Hi! Thank you for the video, really helpful. I was wondering how many qt are the pots? Especially the Le Creuset one. Thank you 🙏
