How do I season my STAUB cast iron?

STAUB cast iron comes pre-seasoned with our signature black matte enamel interior. Simply wash with warm soapy water before first use. The more you cook, the better the natural non-stick properties become.

Can STAUB cookware go in the oven?

Yes! STAUB cast iron is oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C) with the lid, and up to 900°F (482°C) without. This makes it perfect for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven.

What makes STAUB different from other cast iron?

STAUB's signature features include the black matte enamel interior that improves with use, self-basting spikes on the lid that continuously baste food, and a heavy-duty design that ensures superior heat retention and distribution.

Is STAUB cookware made in France?

Yes, all STAUB cast iron cookware is proudly made in France, in the town of Merville. Each piece is crafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques perfected since 1974.

How do I clean my STAUB cocotte?

Allow your cocotte to cool before washing. Hand wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. For stubborn residue, soak in warm water or use a paste of baking soda. Avoid abrasive cleaners or metal utensils.
