Staub
France
It's hard to look at the French company's picturesque cast iron and ceramic wares and not daydream about the *magnifique* things you'll make in them. Staub specializes in enameled cast iron cookware made in Alsace, which makes for superior browning and heat retention (perfect for those hours-long braises). The pieces work hard, but they’re pretty enough to go straight from stovetop/oven to the table. They take on a variety of shapes and colors, but we're partial to the cocottes with a deep blue hue and brass knobs exclusive to our Shop.

Perfect Piece!
Just love to look at it! So perfect for so many things and my husband can finally fry his own egg! Really an excellent addition to my Staub collection.
Pre-seasoned?
This pan was so cute and I looked forward to frying a single egg or a small portion of rice in it. But it sticks terribly — even with added fat. Now it’s a cute, expensive kitchen decoration. I’m still frying my eggs in the plain, small cast iron pan I inherited from a great aunt. I know which one I’d grab in a disaster.
My baby staub
Love this little guy! Perfect for frying eggs, toasting spices, sauteing, all of your little tasks. Same high quality of a Staub, but smaller size makes it easier to manage and maintain so I use it more than some of the larger pieces I have.
