Staub Cast Iron 7.9" Round Covered Baking Dish - Matte Black

I bought this pan about a month ago and it's become an instant favorite. Its heat retention is amazing and the matt black enameling inside the pan browns food perfectly. I own several of the competing brand of enameled cast iron pans and I think Staub is setting a higher standard.

Cooking for one or two, I find this Staub Baking Dish very handy. Small enough so it is not heavy to handle. I could have a second one!

The sleek graphite grey color is sure to impress as it makes its way from oven to table. Individual servings will never look (and stay) so hot in this cast iron baking dish. The interior nonstick enamel coating will expertly bake and brown food while maintain the ideal internal temperature to keep it warm for a long time.

What a gorgeous way to present individual servings of the most heart warming comfort foods. Excellent for make-ahead dishes. Chicken Cacciatore. Cassoulet. Japanese Kare. Prepare and portion. Pop in the oven for heating and finishing. Roasting vegetables and even rice side dishes do very well in this pan. And for dessert, just pull out a favorite recipe. The heat management properties of cast iron can't be beat.

I bought this to use as a baker but to be honest I use it mainly for other cooking jobs. The interior has Staub's famous black matte finish which sears beatifully. I use if for frying burgers and chicken breasts. I have also used it for quick stir frys. Oh and yes perfect for a pie crust, lid used to keep pie fresh!

I love that this small cast iron vessel has a lid because it makes for a great presentation on my table. Also, because it's cast iron, it retains heat really well, so my food stays hot for a long time after it comes out of the oven or off the stove. Another thing about this particular cast iron is that it is enameled, which means that the upkeep that is typically part of cast iron cookware doesn't exist because it is naturally non-stick.

This little baker is great for those cheesy dips and I love that it has a lid making it easier to bring to pot lucks and dinner parties and the cast iron keeps my dip hot even in transit so no need to warm up when I arrive. Staub cast iron has such a great feel you can feel and see the quality. It heats evenly and cleans up easily.

I love the Staub round covered cast iron line baking dishes for their versatility and great looks! Just a personal preference for family and friend gatherings. I like how they look on the table, and how easily they go from the oven to the table. These are good for hot, cold, and room temperate dishes and are so easy to clean!

This braiser cast iron is smaller than any other braiser however it's still very useful especially for single served food. It is shallow but wide, so easy to stir, and organized every ingredients in one beautiful presentation. It is great for braising, roasting, frying, stir fry, baking breads and mostly everything. Heavy weight, tight-fitting lid retains moisture creates pressure inside and continually release condensed liquid back onto the food, yielding moist, flavorful results. Staub cast iron works on all stove top sources including gas, electric, glass, ceramic, induction, and halogen. Oven safe up to 900F. Staub cast iron are Made in France.

I love the beautiful shiny finish on Staub; it such an eye catcher. But the inside is the real selling point with its black enamelling; it browns beautifully, keeps dishes hot and cleans up like a breeze. This dish is perfect for a pie, but my favorite is any hot appetizer. You can begin your dish on the stove and finish it in the oven. Straight to the table for perfect serving!
