Thanks to the top construction of the Staub casserole lid, less moisture escapes during cooking; 10% more moisture is withheld inside the Staub casserole dish. The watering system consisting of spikes spread over the flat inner surface of the lid ensures a 'drip water' effect that falls on the food in the casserole dish. The watering cycle allows you to fully preserve the flavours and nutritional values of the ingredients. Wide range of colours including so-called majolica enamels The special technique of colours, called "majolic", allows you to obtain a unique glaze and shades of deep intensity. The colour is intense blue. Staub is the leading brand of internationally renowned chefs such as Paul Bocuse (France), Laurent Tourondel (USA), Hiroyuki Hiramatsu (Japan) and Stefan Stiller (China).
