Enameled Cast Iron

Enamelled cast iron is a traditional & strong material, perfect for low heat cooking. It retains heat better than any material, including stainless steel & aluminium. The equal distribution of heat eliminates hot spots, allowing you to cook the most delicate dishes.

All Staub products are enamelled 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.

Enameled Cast Iron Care
  • Wash your new Staub cookware with hot, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
  • Use normal liquid detergent and a sponge.
  • Completely dry pan before putting away. Do not put it away still damp.
  • Do not use bleach
  • Do not use abrasive scourers or cleaners for stubborn residue. Let the pan soak in hot water and clean again.
  • Staub cookware (except for products with wooden handles) can be washed in the dishwasher, but we advise against heavy use.
  • Handles and knobs may loosen over time. Frequently check and secure as needed
Teapot Care
  • Remove labels & plastic before use
  • Before using for the first time, wash your teapot with hot, soapy water & dry thoroughly.
  • The teapot can be cleaned with normal liquid detergent and non-abrasive sponge.
  • Completely dry teapot, especially the edges before putting away. Do not put away still damp.
  • DO NOT use the dishwasher to clean your teapot.
  • Handles can be removed & adjusted if you have difficulty opening or closing.
  • Handles and knobs may loosen over time. Frequently check and secure as needed
Teapot Use
  • Never heat up an empty teapot.
  • NEVER fill beyond 3cm below the top of the teapot
  • To avoid thermal shock, begin heating your water at a low temperature and slowly increase to a higher temperature. The nature of cast iron will bring your water to a boil faster at a lower temperature.
  • Lid should be in the correct position (aligned with teapot), not upside down or front to back.
  • Ensure teapot handle is locked into the upright position
