Staub - cookware set, 3-piece, round, 40508-38

Cast iron cookware is an essential part of a well equipped kitchen. Everyone agrees that a cast iron skillet, also known as a skillet, is a must. Opinions vary as to whether a sauté pan or cocotte is the better complement and it really depends on your cooking habits and preferences. But without a doubt, it's best to have them all and be ready for any cooking ambitions, present and future.

That's why STAUB has put together this three-piece set of cast-iron classics: a pan for frying fish, meat and vegetables, a casserole or sauté pan for stews and casseroles, a cocotte (or Dutch oven) for larger quantities and slow cooking in the oven, and a Lid with aroma rain function that ensures food stays juicy and forms a delicious sauce. With a diameter of 24 cm, the set is perfect for a family dinner or a three-course meal with friends.

The high-quality, enamelled cast iron combines the excellent cooking properties and durability of cast iron with the user-friendliness and timeless elegance of enamelled cookware. The individual components can be stacked so that the set fits into any kitchen.

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.
