Staub Round Cocotte Sage

Discover the timeless beauty and exceptional performance of STAUB Cast Iron cookware. Crafted with precision in France, Staub cast iron pieces are beloved by chefs and home cooks alike.

• Cast Iron Excellence: At the heart of Staub’s exceptional cookware line is its cast iron construction. Known for its remarkable heat retention and even distribution, Staub’s cast iron cookware ensures that food is cooked evenly and stays warmer for longer. This makes it ideal for slow-cooking, braising, and roasting, unlocking flavours and textures that make your everyday cooking a culinary experience.
• Innovative Enamel Coating: Staub’s signature matte black enamel interior imparts texture, promoting better browning and searing. It’s exceptionally durable and resistant to scratches and chips. The enamel is also taste neutral, ensuring that no unwanted flavours interfere with your cooking, and it becomes more non-stick over time with regular use.
• Aesthetic and Functional Design: Staub cookware is renowned for its beauty. Each piece is a work of art, available in a range of rich colours and elegant designs that make them as much a centrepiece in the kitchen as they are a cooking tool. The thoughtful design extends to functionality, with features like tight-fitting lids that retain moisture and self-basting spikes, ensuring flavours are continually circulated during cooking.
• Versatility: Designed to be versatile, Staub cookware is suitable for all heat sources, including induction, and is oven safe. This versatility extends to its use in preparing a wide array of dishes, from stews and soups to bread and desserts.
• Lifetime Durability: Crafted to last a lifetime, each piece of Staub cookware is subject to rigorous quality control, ensuring it meets the highest standards. Their durability makes them not just a purchase but an investment in a lifetime of memorable meals.

BEFORE FIRST USE
After unwrapping, remove any labels that may be attached to your product. Rinse the item with warm water and let it air dry. Your cookware is now ready for use!

Permitted / compatible heat sources
• Your STAUB cast iron can be used with the following heat sources: ovens, electric, gas, radiant, induction and halogen.
• Choose a heat source that matches the dimensions of the base of your cookware.
• If using an induction cooktop, preheat your cookware on a low temperature for 5 minutes. You can then increase to full heat. Any cooktop “booster” functions should be used with extreme caution.
• You can also put your STAUB product in the oven* (except for those with a wooden or silicone handle).

* Maximum temperature 250°C/500°F (200°C/400°F with silicone handles and 220°C/440°F with glass lids).

Start cooking
• Heat enameled cast iron slowly and never heat them up when empty. Always add a drop of cooking oil to prevent damage from overheating.
• For grills, use the same method as above: preheating your cookware on low for 5 minutes and then brushing oil over the ribs or your food before grilling.

Warning
• Your STAUB cast iron including handles and lid knobs can get very hot! To avoid burns, always use with thermal insulated protections (e.g., oven gloves, silicone handles, etc.).
• Do not place your cookware on unprotected surfaces while it’s still hot. We recommend using a trivet or potholder. Do not put plastic underneath your hot product as this could cause the plastic to melt.
• Not suitable for use in a microwave oven.
• For induction cooktops, glass ceramic surfaces, or any other fragile surface, make sure you lift rather than slide your STAUB cookware to avoid damaging the cooking surface.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND CARE INSTRUCTION

General information
• We recommend wooden or silicone kitchen tools.
• STAUB products can be stacked. Place a protective layer like a cookware protector or teatowel between products to avoid scratches.
• We recommend that you brush your STAUB cast iron at regular intervals with cooking oil and slowly heat it on the stove and remove excess oil with a kitchen paper. This forms a protective film that improves the non-stick properties.
• STAUB cast iron products can be used on the grill or BBQ.

Care instruction
• Always let your STAUB cool down before cleaning. Running cold water over a hot pot/pan can potentially cause cracks or breakage due to the sudden change in temperature.
• Clean the pot/pan with warm water, liquid dish soap and a soft sponge or brush.
• If food remains stuck in the pot/pan, it is advisable to soak it in warm water and dish soap, overnight if necessary.
• If still not completely clean, we recommend soaking the pot/pan in boiling water with two or three spoons of baking soda for a few minutes.
• Do not use oven cleaners, metal brushes, or scouring pads that can permanently damage the cookware.
• Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth and always make sure it is completely dry

Storage
• You can wash your product in the dishwasher (except cookware with wooden handles), but regular dishwasher use is not recommended. Modern dishwasher detergents may damage your product with regular use.
• Knobs and handles may gradually loosen over time. Check from time to time and tighten if necessary.
