What are the advantages of cast iron cookware?

Enameled cast iron is ideal for low heat, slow cooking. It retains heat better than any material, including stainless steel and aluminum. The equal distribution of heat will eliminate hot spots, allowing you to cook the most delicate dishes.

What is Staub Cookware?

Staub is the world's premier manufacturer of cast iron cookware. All Staub cookware is beautifully enameled and is ideal for both cooking and serving. The black matte enamel interior DOES NOT require seasoning and will not react to acidic foods. The more you use Staub cast iron, the better it will perform. Oils used and created while cooking will penetrate the pores of the matte enamel and create a natural, smooth non-stick surface.

Francis Staub has personally designed each piece of Staub cookware in individually crafted sand molds. Once the cookware piece has been created, the mold is broken, ensuring that your piece is unique.
