Enameled Cast Iron
Enameled cast iron is a traditional and strong material, perfect for low heat cooking. It retains heat better than any material, including stainless steel and aluminum. The equal distribution of heat will eliminate hot spots, allowing you to cook the most delicate dishes.
All Staub products are enameled on the inside and out, including the Black Matte finish. Our special black matte enamel interior DOES NOT require seasoning and will not react to acidic foods. Because of the technically advanced properties of this interior, the more you use your Staub product, the better it will perform. The oils used and created when cooking will penetrate the pores of the matte enamel and create a natural, smooth non-stick surface.
Each piece of Staub cookware has been personally designed by Mr. Francis Staub and individually crafted in a sand mould. The moulds are destroyed after each use, ensuring that your piece is a one-of-a-kind creation. Some irregularities may appear because of our traditional and hand-crafted manufacturing process but they will not affect the performance of your pots in any way.
Happy Cooking!

Teapot Use
- Never heat up an empty teapot
- NEVER fill beyond 1.5” below the top of the teapot
- To avoid thermic shock, begin heating your water at a low temperature and slowly increase to a higher temperature. The nature of cast iron will bring your water to a boil faster at a lower temperature.
- Lid should be in the correct position (aligned with teapot), not upside down or front to back
- Ensure teapot handle is locked into the upright position
- Always use a cloth or oven mitt when handling the teapot. The handles will get very warm in the upright position
- Match teapot base to the smallest burner.
- Suitable for all heat sources including gas, electric, ceramic, radiant, halogen & induction
- DO NOT use teapot in the microwave
- DO NOT tip teapot upside down when pouring, water may spill from the lid
- DO NOT leave teapot simmering for long periods; it may boil dry and damage the enamel base
- Avoid leaving water in teapot when not in use. Residue may build up and reduce efficiency
- DO NOT knock teapot on any hard surfaces. This will damage the enamel.

Stoneware Use (oven use only)
- Recommendations for use : In order to ensure the food is cooked evenly, use a dish of the right size for your recipe and spread the food out uniformly. Never pour a cold liquid directly onto the tajine while the food is cooking. Never use your tajine in direct contact with a flame or a cooking hob. Easy to clean with water or in the dish washer. Make sure the porous bottom is dry before putting the dish away. Maximum oven temperature 400°.
- Finally : This product dish has been manufactured with loving care and should be handled gently. Avoid over-abrasive products, metal sponges and heavy use of the dishwasher.
