2026 is the year of the horse, and Staub has released its new line of limited-edition Lunar New Year-inspired French oven featuring a horse on the lid, celebrating the year of the fire horse. Each year, Staub releases its signature cast iron pots in designs of each year’s animal cycle. This year too, the brand’s Lunar New Year edition comes in two bold colors – cherry and matte black – and features two impressive engravings of a horse, representing resilience and confidence. According to Staub, the cookware is designed with a deeply symbolic meaning, meant to symbolize “boldness, strength, and new adventures.”
This French oven is crafted from durable cast iron, which helps distribute and retain heat evenly. With a 5.25-quart capacity, the black matte interior delivers unmatched searing and browning. Featuring a round, plump body, the French oven is also proficient in simmering and stirring.
It has an innovative, self-basting chistera lid with tiny curves on the interior that release condensed liquid back onto food for enhanced, moist, and flavorful results. The cherry on top is that it is compatible with all stovetops, including induction. It is also oven-safe at 500 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can take it to your dinner table, where the meals are being served.
The oversized handles provide effortless maneuverability to carry the cookware from the oven to your table. Unlike traditional cast iron, Staub enameled cast iron allows for easy cleaning. Since the cookware is enameled, it is chip, rust, and crack-resistant, allowing you to experiment and explore new recipes and dishes for years to come.
The Staub French Oven is available for $230 at Williams Sonoma. The heirloom-worthy Staub French Oven in cherry and matte black is a must-have for home chefs.
