The Most-Loved Pots in the Kitchen
A Dutch oven is one of the most versatile pieces of cookware you can own — equally at home braising short ribs, baking a sourdough loaf, simmering a long-cooked soup, or deep-frying. At Tarzian West for Housewares, Brooklyn's neighborhood kitchen store for over 50 years, we carry the two brands that define the category — Le Creuset and Staub— across a full range of sizes, colors, and styles, plus Lodge for those who want workhorse cast iron at an accessible price.
Le Creuset Round Dutch Ovens — The classic. Available in sizes from the 2 Qt. for small-batch cooking up to the large-format 13.25 Qt. for feeding a crowd. The Shallow 2.75 Qt. and Deep 6.5 Qt. add versatility for different cooking depths. Le Creuset's enameled cast iron distributes heat evenly, retains it beautifully, and goes from stovetop to oven to table without missing a beat.
Le Creuset Oval Dutch Ovens — The oval shape fits whole chickens, long roasts, and bone-in cuts that don't sit comfortably in a round pot. Available in 5 Qt., 6.75 Qt., 9.5 Qt., and the large-format 15.5 Qt. for entertaining-scale cooking.
Staub Cocottes — Staub's cast iron cocottes rival Le Creuset in quality, with a distinctive matte black enamel interior that develops seasoning over time and tiny spikes on the lid that baste the food continuously as it cooks. Available in the 4 Qt. Cocotte and 7 Qt. Cocotte.
Braisers — Wide, shallow, and lidded: braisers are ideal for searing and then slow-cooking in a smaller amount of liquid. Le Creuset Braisers in 3.5 Qt. and 5 Qt. (enameled cast iron), plus the Le Creuset Anodized Braiser 4 Qt. and Staub Braiser 3.5 Qt. for excellent hard-anodized and cast iron options, respectively.
Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven — Lodge's American-made seasoned cast iron Dutch oven for those who want genuine cast iron performance at an everyday price — unbeatable for camp cooking, bread baking, and deep frying.
Accessories — Le Creuset Magnetic Wooden Trivet for protecting surfaces. Replacement knobs in Signature Gold and Stainless Steel for updating or personalizing existing Le Creuset pots.
