<< Back to Kitchen Essentials STAUB
Staub was founded in 1974 by Francis Staub, who inherited a cookware store established by his grandfather in 1892 in Alsace, France. Francis Staub set to work designing an original line of premium-quality enameled cast iron cookware that would marry the benefits of traditional cast iron pots and pans with modern technology, contemporary styling and new, innovative features. Among these features are a non-reactive black matte enameled interior that does not need to be seasoned before use and whose porous surface creates over time, a smooth, all-natural non-stick surface for excellent results browning, reducing and caramelizing. Cooking with their cocottes and roasting pans in Bologna and New York, there is no equal to Staub enameled cast-iron cookware. It is exceptional.
Cocottes
A favorite for making hearty braised dishes, soups and stews, Staub's cocottes feature computer designed,
self-basting spikes on the underside of the lids to automatically baste and effortlessly keep foods moist and tender during cooking. Why didn't someone think of this before? These close-fitting, well-balanced enameled cast iron lids are one of the secrets behind successful cooking with Staub.
Roasting Pans
Four sizes that stack for easy storage, ideal for
even-roasting of vegetables, meatloaf, polpettone, chops, etc. They make an appealing table presentation and are welcomed gifts.
Honeycomb Brasier
With a new textured interior surface resembling a honeycomb, this pan is automatically stick-resistant and conducts heat very well for even cooking. Convenient curved handles and lovely cover with self-basting spikes make cooking a pleasure. Bring this deep brasier to the table and serve it as the centerpiece. Which it is. It's your cooking. For stove top or oven. With a special enameled base, Staub's Honeycomb Brasier can be used for induction cooking.
Vertical Roaster
Black enameled cast-iron roaster with a rounded deep-dish bottom ideal for holding diced vegetables, garlic and shallots for roasting with your chicken, duck, Cornish game hen, poussin or squab. If you don't have a rotisserie handy, Staub provides a nifty alternative. With the center cone conducting heat, the chicken is seared on the inside as well, reducing cooking time. The chicken self-bastes and rendered fat drains into the bottom - now how easy is that? Plus that plump little fellow looks adorable, happy with a luscious golden brown skin. A favorite aroma emanating from the kitchen is that of a chicken roasting to perfection, and with the Vertical Roaster, it is sure to make guests hungry while the cook is content with this one-dish meal, one-dish clean-up. This chicken is so succulent, the only thing missing will be the dreamy waiter with the flirtatious accent!
