CONGRATULATIONS!

YOU ARE NOW THE PROUD

OWNER OF A NEW PIECE

OF STAUB COOKWARE

STAUB was founded by Francis Staub

in 1974 in Alsace in France, a region

renowned for its rich history and

gastronomic tradition.

A perfect blend of aesthetics and

functionality, STAUB products are ideal

for both professional chefs and amateur

cooks seeking to discover the benets

of healthy and delicious cooking.

The stork is an important symbol in Alsace,

representing the region as well as the

STAUB brand itself. It is no accident

that STAUB has become a leading brand

both in France and around the world.

With a genuine guarantee of impeccable

quality, our products are the choice of

great chefs around the world. They are

used every day in restaurants worldwide,

both in the kitchen and at the table.

In keeping with the founder’s philosophy,

each STAUB product is unique. In order

to guarantee optimum performance

at all times and to fully develop the avors

of your food, all STAUB products have

undergone stringent testing. All our cast

iron cookware is made in France. Since

June 2008, STAUB has been a member

of the German ZWILLING Group, the

premium cutlery and utensil specialist.

Special features and benets

A unique product

Each piece is exceptional thanks to STAUB’s

traditional production method: the cast

iron is poured into a sand mold that is

destroyed aer use. In fact, like a ngerprint,

each piece is unique in its own, subtle way.

Black matte interior

The interior of STAUB cast iron products is

enameled in a textured “black matte”

nish. This superior means of production is

a technique that creates enamel (which

is mainly made of glass) with a better

resistance to thermal shocks and scratches

and that is far easier to maintain than

non-enamelled cast iron. The choice of

discerning amateurs and great chefs,

your STAUB product improves with use

while remaining easy to clean and easy

to use. STAUB products do not require

any seasoning and are ideal for frying,

roasting, glazing, and caramelizing foods.

About STAUB

Special “majolica” enamels:

made from 100% glass

The special color technique applied to

“majolica” enamels creates enamel

with a unique sheen and deeply intense

shades. The color process for the majolica

application includes three coats of

enamel.

The art of a beautiful table

The beautiful coloring from the traditional

cast iron manufacturing process combined

with innovative enameling techniques

means you can move your product from

kitchen to table with style. The exterior

enameling has at least two layers of

colored enamel.

Enameled cast iron

Enameled cast iron is a carbon-rich iron

alloy that has been around for centuries.

It is coated in an enamel that is largely

formed from highly shock-resistant

glass and is perfectly adapted to every

kitchen. It is one of the most eective

heat-retaining materials, diusing heat

slowly and redistributing it evenly on any

type of cooktop, including induction.

Once the cast iron is hot, its heat-retaining

properties allow you to reduce the heat to

a minimum, leaving your dishes to simmer

while reducing energy consumption. The

cast iron will also keep things cold: put the

dish in the refrigerator before serving and

it will stay cold once on the table. With

enameled cast iron, the nutritional values

of your ingredients are preserved, as well

as the intensity of their avors. Meat will

remain tender and vegetables will stay

fresh.

With its sophisticated design and optimized

weight, the at lid has excellent moisture-

retaining properties. It ensures even basting

thanks to its innovative spikes – perfect for

dishes that need to simmer for a long time.

Up to 9 times more efficient

The basting eect ensures that water

droplets are distributed evenly over

the food in the cocotte. By providing

continuous moisture throughout the

cooking process, STAUB’s advanced lid

is up to nine times more eective than

conventional convex lids.

Tested by FGK – Forschungsinstitut für

Anorganische Werkstoe Glas/Keramik

(08/2017).

Up to 50% extra moisture

The STAUB cocotte allows very little moisture

to escape during cooking. Aer 30 minutes

on the cooktop, the amount of liquid

retained is 50% higher than other leading

brands.

Tested by FGK – Forschungsinstitut für

Anorganische

And there’s more!

The brass, nickel-plated steel or stainless

steel knobs are resistant up to 250°C

(500°F) in the oven. You can put ice cubes

on the at lid to enhance the internal

condensation process. You can also safely

rest your wooden or silicone utensil on the

lid while cooking.

Here are a few simple steps you should

follow before using your product.

Before first use

Aer unwrapped, remove any labels that

may be attached to your product. Rinse

the item with warm water and let it air dry.

Your product is now ready for use!

Permitted / Compatible heat sources

— Your STAUB cast iron product can be

used on the following heat sources:

ovens, electric, gas, radiant, induction and

halogen.

— Choose a heat source that matches

the dimensions of the base of your product.

— 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 caution.

— You can also put your STAUB product

in the oven* (with the exception of those

with a wooden or silicone handle).

* Maximum temperature 250°C/500°F

(200°C/400°F with silicone manics and

220°C/440°F with glass lids).

Start cooking

— Heat enameled cast iron products

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 product including

handles and lid knobs can get very hot!

To avoid burns, always use with thermal

insulated protections (eg oven gloves,

STAUB silicone handles, etc.).

— Do not place your cookware on

unprotected surfaces while it’s still hot. We

recommend using a trivet or pot holder.

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 li rather than slide your STAUB

product to avoid damaging the cooking

surface.

General information

— We recommend wooden or silicone

kitchen tools.

— STAUB products can be stacked. Place

a protective layer between products to

avoid scratches.

— We recommend that you brush your

STAUB cast iron product 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 nonstick properties.

— STAUB cast iron products can be used

on the grill or BBQ.

Instructions for use

The secrets of the Staub lid

Staub maintenance instructions

— Clean the pot/pan with warm water,

liquid dish soap and a so sponge or brush.

— Our chefs' tip: If any food residue is le

on your product, please do not use abra-

sive or corrosive products such as scouring

powders or metal scouring pads. Aer the

product has cooled down completely,

leave it to soak in hot water or heat your

STAUB product for a few minutes with a

little water and dish soap to remove any

stubborn residue.

— 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 recom-

mend soaking the pot/pan in boiling water

with two or three spoonfuls of baking soda

for a few minutes.

— Do not use oven cleaners, metal

brushes, or scouring pads that can cause

damage to the enamel.

— Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth

and always make sure it is completely dry

before putting it away.

— You can wash your product in the

dishwasher (except cookware with

wooden handles), but regular dishwasher

use is not recommended. Modern dish-

washer 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.

— Never immerse your STAUB product in

cold water while it is hot: the thermal shock

may cause cracking or loss of enamel

when it is next heated.
