Staub cast iron possesses exceptional heat-retention qualities, so the pot heats evenly throughout. With a heavy weight, tight-fitting lid that locks in moisture and tiny bumps on the lid interior that create a rain-forest effect evenly returning juices back onto food, you can expect flavorful, perfectly cooked food every time you use this pot. Heavyweight enameled cast iron transfers and retains heat evenly. Interior surface is matte-black enamel that is resistant to rust, chipping and cracking and does not require additional seasoning. Traces of quartz on enameled interior provide additional heat retention and create a textured surface for improved browning. Dozens of precisely placed bumps on the lid's interior funnel evaporated juices directly back down on top of food for moist, tender results. Ideal for use on all cooktops, including induction. Made in France. Commercial Grade: Thoughtfully designed and expertly engineered to meet rigorous standards and best practices from select commercial testing.
