Staub’s enamel is highly durable and resistant to chips and cracks. However, like all enameled cookware, it should be handled with care and metal utensils should be used gently to maintain the finish.
While it is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to preserve the vibrancy of the exterior enamel over time.
