FAQs
Can I use metal utensils with this French oven?
It is recommended to use wooden or silicone utensils to avoid scratching the enamel surface.
Is the French oven dishwasher safe?
While it can be placed in the dishwasher, hand washing is recommended to preserve the enamel's condition over time.
Can I use this French oven on a grill?
It is generally not recommended to use the French oven directly on a grill, as the high heat can damage the enamel. However, it can be used on the grill indirectly, for example, on a low-heat setting.
What should I do if food burns on the bottom?
Let the pot cool completely. Then, soak it in warm, soapy water. You may also gently boil water and baking soda in the pot to help remove the burnt food.
How do I prevent food from sticking?
Use enough oil or fat when cooking, and avoid high heat, especially when searing or sautéing. Preheat the pot properly.
What is the Chistera Drop-Structure?
It is a design feature under the lid that creates a condensation effect, returning moisture to the food and enhancing flavor.
What is the warranty on the Staub French Oven?
Warranty information can be found on Staub's official website.

Enamel is chipped or damaged.
Discontinue use if the chipping is extensive. Contact Staub for repair options. Avoid using metal utensils.
