Are there any recommendations for an everyday cookbook that will help me learn how to use this better? I'd really like to use my Staub Cocotte more.

Just go on YouTube. Start with the type of food you like and add (cast iron) to the beginning or end. Plus you'll actually get to see the food being prepared and cooked. Visual references can be very helpful for many different things including cooking. Simple example would be a roux there are generally 3 types, and a visual reference is helpful if you've never made all 3. Plus cast iron is what you want when it comes to a roux. But that's one example out of many. Im from Louisiana, so that's just what popped in my head first. With winter here it's a good time for soup, stew, chili, gumbo, chicken and dumplings, and so on. With an enamel cast iron pot you can cook anything you want to. With a regular non-enamel you can't. Generally you want to stay away from acidic foods without having the enamel coating, for example, red sauce spaghetti. With the enamel coating you can make whatever you want.

Since high price and weight, What its advantages over non stick pans? Does make food more tastier or better cooking? Thank you.

Patented lid prevents evaporation of water, causes water to sprinkle onto the food (self-basting), and it is induction hob compatible meaning it will work on an induction cooktop. It's interior gets better with use and develops a seasoning and becomes more and more non-stick. Heavy weight enamel cast iron transfers and retains heat evenly. Specially formulated black matte interior enamel contains traces of quartz, giving it additional heat resistance and a textured surface that results in better browning. Cast iron is a compound of carbon-enriched iron. It also contains silicone, manganese, phosphorus and sulfur. The handles are silicone and can be removed for temperatures higher than 200 degrees C which is 392 degrees F. This information was gathered from several web sites including Williams Senoma, Staub online for England, and Google info.

How tall is the 4 quart cocotte with the lid?

6 inches from the bottom to top of the knob, 4.75 inches from bottom to top of lid.

Beautiful pot. Unfortunately, there is a chip on the handle as shown in the photo. I am disappointed and will be returning the product. It's such a waste of time having to deal with returning products that sellers are obviously aware of. So unacceptable!

Si tratta della versione inglese della famosa Cocotte Staub...Non é nient'altro che il modello largo 24 cm., alto 11 cm. (senza coperchio) e 15,20 cm. (con coperchio) e le misure dunque sono in pollici (2,54 cm.) Si tratta di una pentola che non deve mancare in cucina per pasta, brasati, spezzatini etc. per 2/4 persone, cioé per la famiglia...Come questa c'é solo la concorrente francese LeCreuset...(più vezzosa, ma più cara). La consiglio a tutti.Io l'ho acquistata nel Warehause in ottime condizioni e sono soddisfatto.

Habe mir den Gußeisentopf primär zum Brot backen gekauft, was auch wunderbar funktioniert. Es ist jedesmal eine Freude nach 15 Minuten den Deckel abzunehmen und ein wunderbar aufgegangenes Brot darin zu entdecken. Auch der gelegentliche Braten oder ein Gulasch aus dem Topf schmecken wunderbar saftig. Das Design des Deckels mag Geschmacksache sein. Gedacht ist die Form damit man Eiswürfel darauf legen kann die den Deckel kühlen sollen und so das "Abregnen" des Wasserdampfes im Inneren verbessern soll. Nutzen tue ich diese Funktion aber nicht. Anzumerken ist, dass der Griff sich nach der ersten Benutzung im 250°C heißen Backofen etwas ins Messingfarbene verfärbt. Allerdings ist das bei Edelstahl ganz normal. Nur verchromter Billigstahl würde sich nicht verfärben.
