STAUB 40509-552-0 Cast Iron Round Roasting Dish, Grey, 16 cm

The graphite Staub roasting dishes are not only great for cooking, but they store away perfectly - great if you are short on space. Handcrafted in France they are constructed using only the best quality materials. The matt enamel finish from Staub is unique. Cooking oils penetrate the enamel gradually building up a smooth non-stick surface. You do not need to worry about seasoning the dish. Specifications: • Capacity: 0.5 Quart • Overall dimensions: 2.4 inches high x 9.4 inches wide x 6.8 inches deep Tips for Preventing Rust Never soak the pan: Since cast iron is so vulnerable to rust, it’s best to limit your pan’s exposure to water as much as possible. Don’t let the pan air dry: Wipe off any excess water with a towel immediately after rinsing. To get your skillet bone dry, pop it on the burner to remove extra moisture Lightly oil after use: Once dried, rub your skillet with a thin layer of vegetable oil before storing Seasoning: Drop a tablespoon of vegetable oil on the pan/utensil and spread it around with your fingers or a paper towel. (Take care not to burn yourself on a warm skillet!). Oil the outside and the handle, too. Next, take a folded napkin and wipe off the excess oil. You’ll want the skillet to be lightly greased. Set your oven to 350 degrees and put some aluminum foil on the bottom rack. Then pop the skillet in, upside down, on the upper rack for about 1 hour. Turn the oven off and leave the pan inside until it’s cool. The oil will bake into the pores of the pan, providing a non-stick finish
