Advice on first Staub piece(s)
Preface: We are a vegetarian, 2-person home that uses an induction cooktop and a Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. Main cookware includes two Solidteknics skillets and SS saucepans. We also have a Lodge 6qt enameled DO used for soups/frying. Our 11" skillet cannot fit in the Breville due to its handle, and the Lodge DO is technically too heavy for the oven's shelf.
I plan to purchase a braiser for acidic dishes, casseroles, and one pot meals, but can't decide between the 4qt or 3.5qt (glass isn't supposed to be used in the Breville, so that rules out the glass lid 3.5qt). Based on the measurements, I believe either size should fit in the Breville. Any advice on which one would be best?
I'm also debating on getting a smaller 4 or 5qt DO that can go in the Breville, but thinking it may be redundant if I get a braiser? Other than bread, are there any other dishes that I wouldn't be able to make in the braiser or the stove-only 6qt DO?
