STAUB Perfect Pan, Dark Blue 4.5-qt Dark Blue

Versatile and easy to use and clean. Requires a bit more care and consideration than the old 'junk' pans and the results are absolutely WORTH it! Used for searing ground meat, heavenly stir fry sear even broccoli. Frying falafel is next...expect great results!

Engagement gift for granddaughter. Perfect, she loves it.

We cook a lot of pasta and Mediterranean dishes and this pan is perfect for the sauces we use and shellfish.

super pan. Very flexible to handle just about anything you want to make

I found a new use for this pan the other night. I was making a fra diavolo shrimp pasta dish and I didn't want to overcook the shrimp. So as soon as the shrimp were done I removed them to the rack while the sauce continued to simmer. Just before adding the pasta to the dish, I easily added the shrimp back to the sauce.

This is a beautiful Staub piece. It is large and can handle any kind of cooking you need. It supposedly had visual imperfections but I cannot find anything that would make me regret this purchase. I look forward to a lifetime of cooking with this Staub piece.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) A little smaller than expected, but works like a charm and I can see using this wok instead of several of my existing pots and frying pans. Nice weight (not too heavy) and solidly made. The Basil Green is a beautiful colour.

After less than five uses the bottom of this pan is dull gray in several areas. I only cleaned it with dawn liquid dish detergent soap, soft sponge and cloth. It has not been used to heat more than at medium high heat on electric stove. The sides of the pan looks beautiful.

I just received my perfect pan and I'm quite impressed. It holds a larger amount of volume than the regular French oven. Used it for turmeric risotto and yet it was so easy to clean. I'm only giving 4 stars due to the lid. As compared to other Staub products, it seems they have cut costs on the lid quality, which is flimsy and I don't like the metal rim which seems cheap. I would rather they include the dome lid with it.

Didnt come with all the accessories. Shipping was ok
