Staub 3-Piece Starter Set 112 26 03

Date Published: 8/10/06

Staub Enameled Cast-Iron Cookware offers an attractive and efficient cooking option for chefs who demand a little extra from their cookware. Made from heavy-duty cast iron, which is used for its outstanding heat retention and distribution ability, Staub cookware heats quickly and funnels that heat throughout its cooking surface for superb results.

The 3-piece set includes a 5-quart round French oven, 9x9-inch square grill, and 9.5x6.75-inch roasting dish. The square grill is ideal for making toasted sandwiches, grilling steak, hamburgers, or hot dogs. The oval roasting dish is well suited to baking a small casserole, cooking a fish fillet, or making a souffle.

The French oven is by far the most useful and versatile piece in the collection. You can braise, saute, stew, or simmer using this pan on your stovetop. You can also transfer the pan and its contents to the oven for baking, broiling, roasting, or slow cooking. The pan itself is quite heavy and has two ring-style side handles that are molded onto the pan. The lid has a unique set of small button-like knobs on the underside. The "spikes" catch steam and drip it back onto the foods for a self-basting effect.

Staub cast-iron cookware is coated with a beautiful and durable enamel finish. The exterior is a high-gloss color, such as pimento red. The interior is a black matte enamel, which will not discolor or rust; it is resistant to chipping and can be used immediately, without the need to season the pan. The enamel also has a natural stick-resistant quality so it's easier to clean as well. Because the cast iron heats so efficiently, a low to moderate heat is all that is needed to achieve excellent results. The pans are suitable for all stovetops.
