Compare Staub Enameled Cast Iron Essential French Oven

With sloping, tapered sides best suited for stirring, Staub's Essential French Oven is ideal for making creamy risotto. You'll also love it for slow-simmering soups, stews and tagines as well as French classics like coq au vin. With the depth of a sauté pan and the curved sides of a skillet, this essential pan is a kitchen mainstay and a symbol of French culinary heritage. Heavyweight enameled cast iron transfers and retains heat evenly. Innovative domed Chistera lid has interior spikes that promote self-basting to keep food moist and is adorned with a traditional Gallic rooster and nickel-plated brass knob. Multicoat enameling creates a glossy, vibrantly colored "majolique" finish that resembles fine ceramics. Resistant to rust, chipping and cracking, the coating requires no additional seasoning like some other cast-iron pieces. Ideal for use on all cooktops, including induction. Made in France. Commercial Grade: Thoughtfully designed and expertly engineered to meet rigorous standards and best practices from select commercial testing.
