Staub's 3.75 quart round cast iron pot in Graphite Grey, made in France and sold as the Essential French Oven. The black matte enameled interior browns food without seasoning and the self basting spiked lid rains condensation back onto whatever is simmering. Works on any stovetop and goes straight into the oven for stews, braises, and bread.
