The STAUB story

French heritage

STAUB was founded in 1974 in Turckheim, Alsace. The collection brings traditional cast iron together with its signature matte-black interior and colours made for the table.

Cooking with
The STAUB way01

Cooking with intention

STAUB brings together steady heat, lasting materials and a shape that belongs equally on the hob and at the centre of the table.

01

Steady heat

Cast iron holds an even temperature so stews, sauces and bread can develop slowly and naturally.

02

From oven to table

Cook and serve in the same cocotte, keeping food warm while everyone settles in to eat.

03

Made for years of use

Enamelled cast iron is built for everyday cooking and the recipes you return to season after season.

The cocotte

The cocotte for every day

From a quick tomato sauce to a Sunday braise, the right cocotte makes heat predictable and flavour easier to build.

Even cooking

The heavy base helps distribute heat steadily across the whole dish.

Matte-black enamel

The interior supports browning and helps sauces develop depth.

Moisture where it belongs

The lid helps return condensation to the food during slow cooking.

CARE DESK

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

  1. 01

    If you are still cooking, wait for a proper crust: well-seared food often releases naturally.

  2. 02

    After cooking, let the piece cool completely before adding water.

  3. 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.

The right pan earns its place when it fits the way you actually cook. These practical notes cover size, heat, care and serving, with the rhythm of a British kitchen in mind.

Choosing01 / 15

A size for everyday portions

If you usually cook for two, a smaller cocotte gives you room for soup, a braise or a side without unnecessary weight. For family meals and guests, extra capacity is useful when ingredients need room to cook evenly.
