Staub Buying Guide

Staub is premium French cookware designed for cooks who care about performance and presentation. Best known for beautifully finished cast iron cocottes and oven-to-table cookware, Staub delivers exceptional heat retention, even cooking, and impressive results for slow cooking, braising, roasting, and baking.

What Staub is best for

  • Slow cooking and braising with rich flavour development
  • Soups, stews, curries, and one-pot family meals
  • Roasting meats and vegetables with excellent heat retention
  • Baking artisan-style bread and oven bakes in cast iron (piece dependent)
  • Serving straight from oven to table in a premium presentation

How to choose the right Staub product

  • Choose your hero piece: A round cocotte is the most versatile option for everyday cooking, while an oval cocotte suits longer cuts like lamb shoulder or whole chicken.
  • Select the right size: Smaller sizes suit sides and 1 to 2 people. Medium sizes are ideal for couples and small families. Larger sizes are best for entertaining and batch cooking.
  • Consider your cooktop: Staub cast iron works on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction. Lift rather than slide on glass cooktops.
  • Think about meal style: If you cook soups and braises often, prioritise a cocotte. If you roast frequently, consider a shallower braiser or casserole style (range dependent).
  • Choose a colour you will love: Staub is designed to be displayed and used, so picking a finish that suits your kitchen makes it even more enjoyable.

What makes Staub different

  • French heritage cookware designed for serious performance and longevity
  • Excellent heat retention for steady simmering and even cooking
  • Enamelled cast iron that is easy to clean and suitable for oven-to-table serving
  • Heavy, well-fitting lids that help retain moisture for tender results
  • Timeless design and premium finishes that elevate the cooking experience

Care tips

  • Preheat gradually and avoid sudden temperature changes to protect the enamel.
  • Use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to help preserve the interior surface.
  • Allow cookware to cool before washing. Use warm water and a non-abrasive sponge.
  • Avoid metal scouring pads and harsh abrasives that can mark enamel.
  • Store carefully and avoid stacking without protection to prevent surface scratches.
