Know before you buy
No, this dish is designed specifically for oven use. It is not compatible with stovetop burners.
Staub cast iron features a matte black enamel interior, so it does not require seasoning like traditional raw cast iron. It is ready to use right out of the box.
No, this piece should be hand-washed to preserve the integrity of the enamel finish. We recommend using warm water and a mild detergent, ensuring it is thoroughly dried after cleaning.
The matching cast iron lid helps trap heat and moisture inside the dish, which is ideal for slow-baking or keeping your food warm until it reaches the table. It also allows for a beautiful presentation when serving directly from the oven.
For stubborn food residue, soak the dish in warm, soapy water before gently scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge or nylon brush. Avoid using metal utensils or harsh scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the enamel coating.
