Know before you buy
No, the black matte enamel coating means you do not need to season this pan. It is ready to use right out of the box and provides a naturally non-stick surface that improves with use.
Yes, the Staub 26 cm skillet is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric ranges.
While the pan is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish of the enamel over the long term. If you do use a dishwasher, ensure it is placed carefully to avoid scratching the coating.
This skillet is oven-safe up to 260°C. This makes it an excellent choice for searing meat on the stovetop and finishing it in the oven for even, consistent cooking.
The 26 cm measurement refers to the upper diameter of the skillet. Keep in mind that the base will be slightly smaller due to the sloped sides of the pan.
The skillet weighs 2.20 kg. While it is sturdy and durable due to its cast iron construction, it is manageable for most home cooks when using both hands or a sturdy handle grip.
