Staub - cookware set, 2-piece, round, 145624-000

When it comes to cast iron cookware, two essential items are the foundation of a well equipped kitchen: a cast iron skillet or skillet and a cocotte or Dutch oven. Together they cover almost all culinary needs. And with STAUB's new stackable edition, you can stack them neatly when not in use, so they take up as little storage space as possible while still looking good.

This black cast iron set consists of a cocotte, a pan and a lid, each with a diameter of 24 cm. The scope of delivery includes a set of edge protectors, which must be placed between the pan and the cocotte for storage and removed before cooking. With their high-quality enamelled material, they combine the excellent cooking properties and durability of cast iron with the ease of use and beauty of enamelled cookware.

The cast iron pan is perfect for frying meat or fish, for example salmon caprese, while the cocotte can be used to cook pasta or a tomato soup for an Italian menu. Of course, the cocotte can also be used in the oven for classic stews.

Pre-use

Before using a Cocotte we recommend to clean it with warm water and detergent; then dry. We also recommend wiping the pot with a little cooking oil before use to enhance the properties of the special black enamel. Do not hesitate to repeat this operation before every use… The Staub Cocotte is now ready for cooking!
How to use the Cocotte:

• Enamelled cast iron cookware must be heated slowly to avoid thermal shock and possible damage.
• The hob should be smaller or equal to the dimension of the base; open flames from gas cookers touching the sides of the pot may cause discolouration or damages.
• We recommend the use of wood or plastic utensils.
• Do not over-heat an empty pot; all cooking should be monitored.
• To avoid any risk of burns, a potholder or oven glove should always be worn.
• Do not place hot cookware on an unprotected surface.

After use maintenance

Once the pot has cooled down after cooking, cleaning in warm water with detergent is recommended; dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. The pot should sit in the open air for a while before storing. Do not use bleach or abrasive chemicals – if residue sticks to the cookware, soak in warm water. Cookware by Staub can be cleaned in the dishwasher; however, we do recommend cleaning by hand to protect the non-stick properties. Products with wooden handles should not be cleaned in a dishwasher at any time. Do not stack or store enamelled objects without protecting the exterior surface. The knobs and handles may loosen with use. Check the tightness from time to time and gently re-tighten them if necessary.
