Why is it so heavy?
And the old adage 'worth it's weight in gold' - to which Staub is no exception. STAUB means 'dust' and at STAUB, we have turned dust into gold….!
Staub cookware is made of from the best cast iron in the world. Naturally cast iron is heavy and there are many benefits to using enamelled cast iron for your cooking needs:
- Even heat distribution that prevents burning
- Slow
cooking at low heat temperatures which intensifies the flavours
- Retains
heat for long periods of time which keeps the food hot directly from the oven
to the table
- Heavy lid traps moisture and flavours inside the pot
for better tasting meals
- Bottoms will not warp and will remain flat to ensure even heating
What kind of utensils should I use?
We recommend using plastic or wood cooking utensils to avoid scratching the enamelled surface
What are the small spikes underneath the lid for?
Those spikes are our specially designed Self Basting Spikes. These spikes ensure continuous, natural basting. They equally distribute the flavourful juices directly back on the food, not down the sides. Using the Staub Cocotte will guarantee your meal will reach its' maximum flavour potential!
Can I put my Staub cookware in the dishwasher?
Yes, but we advise against heavy use. Since Staub is one the highest quality pieces of cookware you will ever buy, it is best to take care of it with care and protection. Following our care and use instructions will guarantee beautiful Staub cookware for years to come.

How do I clean my Staub cookware?
Simple, detergent soap and water will clean your pots effectively, but do not use other abrasive cleaners to clean. For heavy residue, we suggest soaking your pot in soap and water until the food lifts from the surface.
Why are there brown stains on the bottom of my pots?
This is natural and occurs as a result of the cooking process. Most of the brown stains can be removed by gently scrubbing the interior with a non-abrasive cleanser. Thankfully, the black matte enamel will camouflage any stains that do occur!
Will the enamel surface chip?
No, as we use technically advanced, black matte enamel that is more resistant to chipping. It was originally designed to withstand the demands of heavy restaurant use and hence it is more than suitable for the home.
While our black matte enamel is highly resistant to chipping, the enamel
can chip if your pot is dropped on a hard surface. Also, be careful of thermal
shock when heating your pans.
Does Staub need to be seasoned?
No. ALL Staub products are enamelled on the exterior and interior. We use
a technically advanced black matte enamel on all of our products that does not
need to be seasoned.
What are the benefits of black matte enamel versus
the shiny enamel?
Our black matte enamel is highly indestructible and
provides better cooking results; over time your Staub pot will slowly season itself
as oils used when cooking will penetrate the pores of the black matte enamel.
The black matte enamel will also brown, braise and reduce better!
Is
Staub non stick?
The black matte enamel surface is not non stick. Using
oil will prevent most sticking, yet there still may be sticking which helps to
brown, braise and reduce your meals better. Over time your Staub pot will naturally
create a non stick surface on the bottom that you get from seasoning a piece of
rough cast iron.
However, if you would like your Staub product to have
an immediate, non stick surface you can coat the surface with vegetable oil and
heat it on a low setting. The oil will penetrate the pores of the matte enamel
and create a natural, nonstick surface.
We suggest cooking on medium heat and decreasing from there. Because of the heat retaining properties of cast iron, it is not necessary to cook on high heat. If you do decide to cook on high heat, bring your pan slowly to a high temperature to avoid thermal shock.
What temperature should I use to boil water in my Staub teapot?
Because of the heat retaining properties of cast iron, it is not necessary to put your teapot on high to boil your water. Using a medium heat will bring your water to boil and avoid thermal shock.
Can Staub be used on ceramic glass tops?
Yes. Staub cookware can be used on all heat sources, including induction. Products with the black matte exterior are coated on the bottom with blue ceramic which will protect your delicate surfaces.
Do the handles and knobs get hot?
Yes. All of our knobs are either SOLID stainless steel or brass that can withstand temperatures up to 315°C. So, handles and knobs will get hot! Please use caution when handling your Staub cookware and use appropriate pot holders.
