The STAUB story
French heritage for Irish cooking
STAUB began in Alsace in 1974. Its enameled cast iron suits recipes that begin with good browning, continue at a gentle pace and arrive at the table still warm.
The STAUB approach01
Give good ingredients proper time
Irish stews, bread and roasts reward steady heat more than constant intervention. Cast iron creates that calm cooking environment.
01
Heat that settles
Once warm, cast iron supports a gentle simmer through long, cool-weather cooking.
02
From browning to table
Develop colour, add liquid, move to the oven and serve without changing vessels.
03
Useful beyond winter
The same cocotte handles bread, summer vegetables and one-pot suppers throughout the year.

What does your STAUB need right now?
Pick what you see. The first safe steps appear immediately, with no guesswork and no aggressive scrubbing.
Select a situation
Let the surface and the food do their work
- 01
If you are still cooking, wait for a proper crust: well-seared food often releases naturally.
- 02
After cooking, let the piece cool completely before adding water.
- 03
Soak with warm water and liquid dish soap, then use a soft sponge or brush.
Do not attack the enamel with a metal scourer or sharp tool.

It browns beef properly, then settles into the quiet simmer a good stew needs.
