STAUB ENAMELED CAST IRON GRATIN W/ LID

Cast iron cookware is a staple in every serious cook's kitchen because of its unparalleled ability to transfer and retain heat evenly. This long, shallow gratin is the ideal size for cooking fish, vegetable dishes and desserts, and it doubles as serveware that keeps the dish warm at the table. Perfect for baking hearty gratins and casseroles, this French favorite is designed to deliver a crispy brown crust atop an evenly cooked dish. Designed for oven-to-table presentation.

Included lid keeps dishes warm even after being removed from the oven.
Extra-heavy lid seals in moisture for tender, flavorful results.Heavyweight enameled cast iron transfers and retains heat evenly.
Multicoat enameling creates a glossy, vibrantly colored "majolique" finish that resembles fine ceramics.
Resistant to rust, chipping and cracking, the coating requires no additional seasoning like some other cast-iron pieces.
The specially formulated black matte interior enamel of each piece contains traces of quartz, giving it additional heat resistance and a rougher surface resulting in better browning.
