With the Staub Round Dutch Oven 28cm Graphite Gray, you get a high-end Dutch oven. You can use the enameled cast iron pan to sear and steam ingredients. The cast iron distributes the heat evenly and retains it well. The flat, heavy lid has spikes on the inside. This drip system and the condensation process sprinkle moisture on the contents of your Dutch oven continuously. As a result, the dish simmers evenly and you hardly lose moisture. Want to speed up the condensation process? Put ice cubes in the bowl-shaped lid when simmering. After use, you can clean the pan with a soft sponge and some dish soap.
