The STAUB story
Born in Alsace
STAUB began in 1974 in Turckheim, a place where French and German cooking traditions meet. Its cookware pairs enduring cast iron with a textured black enamel interior and richly layered colour.
The STAUB approach01
Cook with intention
Good cookware does not add complexity. It creates stable heat, rewards patience and moves naturally from kitchen to table.
01
Patient heat
Cast iron stores and distributes heat so braises, sauces and bread cook steadily.
02
One vessel, full journey
Sear, simmer, bake and serve without moving the food through unnecessary cookware.
03
Made to stay useful
Durable enamel and timeless forms support everyday cooking rather than occasional display.

A versatile starting point
The round cocotte
Its balanced proportions make it the practical centre of many STAUB kitchens, from browning and simmering to bread and roasting.
Deep enough for slow cooking
High sides contain liquid and reduce splatter during braises, soups and frying.
A lid designed around moisture
The close fit and underside structure return condensation to the food.
Choose for your usual batch
A useful everyday size should fit the meals you cook most, not only the largest gathering.
Colour with depth

Made for the way America cooks
One material, three useful rhythms
STAUB earns its counter space when it moves naturally between a weeknight burner, a hot oven, and a table built for sharing.
Weeknight
A braise without babysitting
Brown protein or vegetables, add a measured amount of liquid, and let retained heat carry the quieter part of dinner.

Choose the piece you will actually use
The best first STAUB is not necessarily the largest or most decorative. It is the shape that matches your recipes, portions and available storage.

Start with cooking habits: slow braises favour a cocotte, frequent browning favours a braiser, and oven-to-table baking favours ceramic.

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.

The cocotte moves from a weeknight braise to Sunday bread without feeling like specialist cookware.
