Staub Enameled Cast Iron Embossed Twist Dutch Oven, 4 1/4-Qt.

Staub's innovative enamel coating takes cast-iron cookware to the next level with improved performance, style and durability.

Detailed with an intricate twist pattern, the pot transfers easily from the stove or oven to the table – and even to the freezer.

Staub traces its origin to the Alsace region of France, where founder Francis Staub designed his first enameled pot while working in an old French artillery factory in 1974. With the goal of creating the perfect pot for cooking the region’s traditional hearty soups, stews and braises, he combined cast iron, the most popular material of the time, with the latest enameling technology available. Today, Staub still makes its cookware at a traditional atelier in France, casting each pot in an individual sand mold, which is heated to 800°F and destroyed after use. The exterior enamel coating is made with glass powder and mineral pigments, applied in two or three coats to generate brilliant glossy colors.
