Enameled in lush dark blue, this cast iron skillet goes from stovetop to oven to table. The skillet combines the best of a frying pan and a sauté pan, with even heat distribution over the entire base of the pan plus high sides that accommodate stirring and prevent spills. Pouring spouts make it easy to pour sauces and gravies or remove fat. The Staub signature textured matte-black enamel interior intensifies the natural flavor of food for delicious frying and sautéing, plus it's scratch resistant, easy to clean and requires no seasoning. Preferred by some of the world's greatest chefs, French-made Staub cookware is renowned for its superior heat retention.
