Designed for those who value multi-functional kitchenware that transitions seamlessly from oven to table, this cast iron piece offers superior browning and cooking performance.

FAQs
Is this baking dish dishwasher safe?
While it is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to preserve the life and finish of the enamel coating.
Can I use this on my induction hob?
Yes, the cast iron base is fully compatible with induction hobs.
Does the dish require seasoning like traditional cast iron?
No, this dish is enameled and does not require seasoning before use.
What is the warranty coverage?
The product comes with a lifetime warranty for domestic use covering any manufacturing defects.
Can I put this dish under the broiler or grill?
Yes, Staub cast iron is heat resistant and safe for use under the grill.
How should I handle the dish when it is hot?
Always use thick, dry oven mitts or thermal pads, as the handles and the entire dish will become very hot during use.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the base
Ensure the dish is properly preheated and use a small amount of oil or butter before adding ingredients. For burnt-on residue, soak in warm soapy water for a few minutes before wiping clean.
Staining on the enamel
For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit on the affected area for 15 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft cloth.
Surface feels rough
The matte finish is designed to develop a slight patina over time. If it feels excessively rough, ensure no abrasive metal scrubbers have been used and stick to gentle nylon brushes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using your Staub baking dish, ensure it is placed on a stable surface. While the enamel is robust, avoid using metal utensils to prevent potential surface marking; wooden or silicone tools are recommended.
Compatibility: This dish works on all hob types (induction, electric, gas, and ceramic) and can withstand high oven temperatures.
Care Instructions:
- Allow the dish to cool down gradually after removal from the oven to avoid thermal shock.
- Wash by hand using warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge.
- Avoid using harsh scouring pads or bleach, which can dull the enamel over time.
- Ensure the dish is completely dry before storing it in a cabinet to prevent moisture buildup.
