Specialty Shaped Dutch Cast Iron French Oven for Dragon Lovers

The top choice for both chefs and home cooks is Staub enameled cast iron cookware, which is deeply rooted in French culinary heritage. The renowned cocottes from Staub are timeless pieces that are perfect for anything from casual meals to sumptuous suppers. The latest star in the cast iron collection is the Essential French Oven with Chistera lid. This new addition features a domed Chistera lid with excellent self-basting properties, similar to Staub's signature flat lid. Unlike traditional convex lids that cause condensation to fall to the sides, the innovative Chistera drop-structure lid ensures that moisture cascades from the entire surface. This continuous basting technique guarantees deliciously moist roast chicken and braised short ribs. The inspiration behind this original design comes from Basque pelota players, who use wicker basket chisteras to quickly scoop up and hurl balls. Staub's new lids mimic this shape, gathering condensation to shower moisture onto the dish simmering inside.

Key features of Staub's cookware include self-basting Chistera spikes that keep food moist, exceptional heat distribution and retention characteristic of cast iron, a matte black enamel interior that heats evenly and enhances caramelization for excellent searing, a versatile design that goes seamlessly from oven to table, and the easy-to-clean nature of enameled cast iron that does not require seasoning.
