The clever designers at Staub have combined some of their favourite pieces in this ingenious stackable set. Starting with the original cocotte they have added a smooth-surface fry pan and a deep braiser plus a 24cm universal lid. This is a true heritage collection to use for a lifetime and then pass onto the next generation of cooks.

Features:

• This ultimate set includes cocotte, braiser, fry pan, and universal lid so all your cooking requirements are covered in the one place.
• Designed with distinctive sloped sides for streamlined space-saving nesting.
• Attachable rubberized bumpers protect from scratches.
• Staub cookware interiors are crafted from cast iron with two layers of glazed enamel making the cookware rustproof, and easy-to-clean.
• The rough matt interior becomes non-stick in time and gets better as it ages. This texture assists in optimum searing and browning.
• Shot-blasting the surface before coating in enamel (like sanding between paint coats) creates a tough, long-lasting surface.
• The self-basting lid (check out the spikes that accelerate this process) ensures a rainfall-like effect of moisture continuously dripping down onto the cooking food.
• This means your ingredients do not dry out during long slow cooking periods and food flavours are more intense, not diluted by too much liquid.

Care Instructions

Cleaning:

• We recommend washing by hand.
• Once you've removed the labels from your new piece of Staub cookware, rinse it with warm water and dry thoroughly.
• Wipe a small amount of oil around the inside and heat the pan over a low temperature until most of the moisture has evaporated.
• Once cool wipe away any excess liquid and it is ready to use.
• Allow to cool down completely before cleaning. Pouring cold water onto a hot dish may cause it to crack from the thermal shock.
• For stubborn residue, soak in hot water and white vinegar for a few hours.
• After drying, brush the inside with a little vegetable oil to maintain the black matte finish.

Cooking

• For best results use low to medium heat
• If you want to use high heat (to sear a steak) bring your Staub cookware up to the higher temperature slowly

Never leave your empty Staub on a hot element empty, the surface may crack and bubble.

Staub gathers people around good food in the kitchen and at the  table. Each of their heirloom pieces comes with a story. Born in Alsace, a French region known for its craftsmanship and cuisine, their cast  iron cookware bring a taste of authenticity to every meal. Just look for the Staub seal on every product. Their name is their promise to you  that you’re cooking with the best of France…wherever your kitchen may  be.

The specially-contoured lid on Staub cast iron cocottes has excellent moisture-retention properties. Its self-basting system ensures a  continuous rainfall effect evenly over the cocotte’s contents. This  guarantees that each ingredient retains its full flavor. Meat does not  dry out and vegetables remain tender.
