Know before you buy
No, the Staub cast iron skillet comes with a durable enameled finish, meaning it does not require any seasoning. You can start cooking with it immediately right out of the box.
Yes, this skillet is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.
Absolutely. The skillet is oven-safe at temperatures up to 500°F, making it ideal for searing steaks or finishing dishes that require high heat.
While the pan is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish over time. Avoid using harsh metal scouring pads, as they can scratch the enamel.
The helper handle provides extra stability when lifting or moving the pan, especially when it is full of food. It makes it much easier to maneuver the skillet safely between the stovetop and the oven.
The pouring spouts are designed for convenience and do not impact the cooking surface's performance. They are shallow enough that they won't interfere with your browning or searing process.
