Great Gratins! BIG Staub Enameled Cast Iron Gratin Review

Latest Staub Prices: https://amzn.to/3REvN9y
Uncle Scott's Kitchen reviews a Staub enameled cast iron gratin baking dish. We make some of Chef John's mac and cheese, compare and contrast the gratin techniques of Jacques Pepin and Julia Child, make a big fat shepherd's pie, and more! Is this the best gratin dish you can buy?
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
(These either didn't make the final cut in the video, or, most likely, I completely forgot to mention them.)

-- The knob in the lid is made of metal.

-- The gratin is oven safe up to 500 degrees F.

-- The underside of the lid has lots of raised little "swoosh" marks that are supposed to help keep food basted with moisture that condenses up there during cooking. They are a little differently shaped than the ones in Staub dutch ovens.

-- Staub is part of the Zwilling umbrella of companies, which makes knives, Demeyere pans, and other stuff too.

-- It's a 3-quart/2.8 liter model.

-- The box says it can be used on induction (I didn't try that) and says that occasionally it's OK to put in the DISHWASHER. Good lord, I really didn't try that.

-- The box also points out that it is "Food Safe"... I had assumed that, but nice to have official confirmation!
