Staub (cookware)

Staub is a premium French enameled cast iron cookware and bakeware manufacturer that was originally headquartered in Turckheim, Alsace, France.[1]

The first piece, a cocotte or coquelle (Dutch oven), was designed by Francis Staub in 1974 in a dormant artillery factory. Pieces are manufactured with cast iron covered with double-glazed enamel.[2][3]

Company overview

In 2007, approximately 50% of the company's sales revenue came from abroad, and the company generated a total of €44 million in sales. In April 2008, the company had 430 employees, and at this time Francis Staub was president of the company.[4]

Professional use

The cookware's aesthetic complements the decor of some restaurants; some restaurants cook and serve dishes directly to customers at their tables in Staub cookware.[7] The enamel coating makes the cookware rustproof, and easy to clean.[1][3] Staub's cocottes have nubs on the interior of the lids, which enables condensation to collect and drip down to baste foods uniformly as they are cooking.[8]
