Beli Staub Cast Iron French oven

I was nervous buying a factory second, but the only flaw I can find is a pinhead-sized speck on the lid rim. It's the 3.75 qt size, which is perfect for a batch of chili or a whole chicken, and the heat retention is unreal.

The matte black finish looks even better in person than on screen, and the 3.75 qt size is perfect for weekend stews. Despite being a factory second, I can't spot a single flaw on the enamel, and it heats beautifully evenly on my gas stove.

Even though it's listed as a factory second, I honestly can't find the flaw—the matte black finish is flawless and the 3.75qt size is perfect for weeknight stews. The cast iron heats so evenly that my bread comes out with a perfect crust every single time.
