3.75Qt STAUB Cast Iron Dutch Oven from France, Black (Serves 3-4)

The top choice for chefs and home cooks alike, Staub enameled cast iron cookware offers timeless pieces rooted in French culinary heritage. Whether you're preparing a casual meal or a sumptuous supper, Staub's renowned cocottes are the perfect choice. The latest star in their cast iron collection is the Essential French Oven with the innovative Chistera lid. Similar to Staub's classic flat lid, the domed Chistera lid boasts exceptional self-basting properties. While a typical convex lid causes condensation to slide down the sides, the Chistera drop-structure lid ingeniously redirects moisture to cascade from the entire lid.

This original design was inspired by Basque pelota players who use wicker basket chisteras to swiftly scoop up and hurl balls. Staub's Chistera lids incorporate these iconic curves to gather condensation and rain moisture onto the simmering dish inside, ensuring it remains beautifully moist. The self-basting Chistera spikes provide continuous moisture for exceptional heat distribution and retention, qualities for which cast iron is famous. The matte black enamel interior not only heats evenly but also enhances caramelization for perfect searing.

In addition to its exceptional cooking properties, this enameled cast iron cookware by Staub offers a versatile design that seamlessly transitions from oven to table. Furthermore, the cookware is easy to clean and does not require seasoning, making it a convenient and practical choice for home cooks of all levels. With iconic Staub handles that feature an ergonomic grip, these pieces are not only functional but also stylish. Crafted with care in France, each piece showcases the quality and craftsmanship for which Staub is renowned.
