There are numerous factors which make Staub cookware unique in its design. To start, its black matte enamel coatings make it indestructible and highly chip resistant and also keep it from discoloring. The cast iron cookware retains the heat beautifully, keeping the dish warm long after it’s been taken out of the oven or off the stove. It retains heat and distributes it evenly, making the food more consistent in texture and taste. The special ceramic bottom also makes it possible for use on all types of heating surfaces. In addition to having these technical merits, it’s attractive appearance make it possible for the dish to go straight from the stove to the table.

Enameled cast iron is a traditional and strong material, perfect for low heat cooking. It retains heat better than any material, including stainless steel and aluminum. The equal distribution of heat will eliminate hot spots, allowing you to cook the most delicate dishes. All Staub products are enameled on the inside and out, including the Black Matte finish. Our special black matte enamel interior DOES NOT require seasoning and will not react to acidic foods. Because of the technically advanced 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.

Each piece of Staub cookware has been personally designed by Mr. Francis Staub and individually crafted in a sand mould. The moulds are destroyed after each use, ensuring that your piece is a one-of-a-kind creation. Some irregularities may appear because of our traditional and hand-crafted manufacturing process but they will not affect the performance of your pots in any way.
