FAQs

Does this pan need to be seasoned?

No, the matte black enamel interior means the pan does not require seasoning like traditional raw cast iron.

Is this pan safe for induction hobs?

Yes, the cast iron base is fully compatible with induction hobs as well as gas and electric surfaces.

Can I put this pan in the dishwasher?

While the enamel is robust, hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish and prevent long-term damage to the enamel coating.

What is the weight of this pan?

The pan weighs 1.06 kg, which is substantial for its small 16 cm size, reflecting its high-quality cast iron construction.

Is the handle oven-safe?

Yes, the entire pan, including the handle, is oven-safe. However, always use an oven mitt as the handle will become extremely hot.

Can I use metal utensils with this pan?

It is recommended to use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to prolong the life and appearance of the enamel interior.

Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the pan

Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding fats or ingredients, and use an appropriate heat setting.

Enamel surface looks dull

Wipe the interior with a small amount of neutral cooking oil to restore its sheen and help with food release.

Stubborn burnt-on stains

Soak the pan in warm, soapy water for an hour to soften residue before gently cleaning with a soft nylon brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before using your STAUB pan, ensure the base is clean and dry. While the pan is durable, avoid using metal utensils that could scratch the enamel surface; silicone or wooden tools are highly recommended.

When cleaning, allow the pan to cool completely before submerging it in water to avoid thermal shock. Although the interior enamel is easy to clean, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is best to maintain the finish. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool. To prevent chips, ensure the pan is not stacked too heavily against other cookware without protective liners.
