10% Takashimaya sales is just over. A friend of my wife says that her best investment was a Staub cookware. So we bought a Staub to try. There is an existing 30% discount and 10% additional makes it more attractive to try out this cookware. We actually bought a duck from Fairprice and bring to Takashimaya to put into the pot for fit test. We had measured the length of the duck and felt that if we cut the neck and tail off, 29 cm will fit comfortably. The duck is usually about 30 cm. However, length is just one parameter and it could be risky. The pot is very expensive and therefore trying out with an actual item to cook in it is best.
Good thing we did. The sales person keeps recommending 29 cm as it is the most popular. We were quite sway by the persuasion as the biggest volume seller must be the right size. We could trim our birds to fit. Price-wise, it is the most attractive. However, when we use the actual duck, 31 cm just fit. There is no room to turn the bird. We decided on a 33 cm instead even though the price difference is S$150. The maiden dish using the Staub was braised duck the day we brought home the cookware. The duck tasted good!
This afternoon, I cooked braised short rib using the recipe in the youtube. My boys loved it. I am happy to cook using Staub. It is traditional cookware modernise by latest technology using enamel coating on the base. I can cook using Staub on a induction cooker. I am looking forward to use the pot more often especially when we have family gatherings.
