Staub Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven Cocotte Oven 5.5-qt, Citron

Staub cookware excels in providing the perfect environment for slow cooked, flavor-enhanced meals. Staub has become the benchmark and first reference brand for enameled cast iron cookware used by professionals. It journey begins in the Alsace region of France. Rich in history, food and craft, the area is renowned for hearty one-pot recipes and fine enameled ceramics.

Every piece of Staub cast iron cookware is made from one-use sand mold and absorbs enamel coating in a distinctive way. Subtle differences arise from this production process. These unique features should never be considered as defective.

All Staub products are enameled on the inside and out. The black matte enamel interior does not require seasoning and will not react to acidic foods. Because of the properties of this interior, the more you use your Staub product, the better it will perform. The oils used and created when cooking will penetrate the pores of the matte enamel and create a natural, smooth non-stick surface.

Staub cookware is beloved by professional and home chefs for its exquisite craftsmanship, exceptional performance, and timeless beauty. Each Staub Dutch oven effortlessly and elegantly transitions from the oven to the table - you can cook and serve in the same dish. Built to last a lifetime, these heirloom pieces are designed to be passed from generation to generation.

Features:

• Made from top quality cast iron, coated in tough, chip-resistant enamel, inside and out

• Staub designed self-basting spikes underneath the lid that help continuously baste the food.
