STAUBCast Iron Dutch Oven, 3.75Qt, serves 3-4, Made in France, White

I received the pot one month ago, and followed the instructions to clean/dry/oil in the beginning.Today is my second time use.The pot was in room temperature, as well as oil and ginger.I put the oil into the pot and 2 pc ginger slices, then turn on the heat. After 2 minutes, the pot burst and i see lots of black pieces sprayed from the pot. Like popcorn....i quickly remove the pot from the stove and put it apart for cooling down. After 4 hrs I wasted it and think the pot has damage and i am not sure if I can still cook it without any metal poison risk.I am not sure where to contact the Seller so I leave message here, hopefully seller can reach me out and give me some feedback.Thanks

This pot is absolutely beautiful. It's the perfect size for couples or small families, but is still big enough to bake bread. It's heavy, but not unwieldy. I haven't noticed any hot spots and it holds heat well. I was hesitant to spend so much on a dutch oven, but in glad I did.

Love my Staub cookware! Not that bad to clean I always soak mine for a bit then finish with my dish cloth, dry, add a splash of canola, done... ready for next meal I am going to create a Mediterranean fish stew this weekend 👍🏼

Received with Yellow Stains on the cover and the bottom of the pot.It looked like it was returned item that was resold from the way it was packaged.I just received the second one to replace the first, and it is the same problem.I will try the third time and hope to be the Charm.

Great dutch oven. Superb quality!
