Emulating the fashion trends of Autumn 2018, Staub’s new deep red Grenadine range of cast iron cookware fuels the appetite for deliciously slow cooked comfort food.
Noted for its style-forward designs in traditional cocottes, this iconic French specialist brand has created a covetable collection of cocottes in four different sizes, one with a stainless steamer, all in the intense, rich red tones of Grenadine.
Staub has perfected its hand-finished cocottes over the past 44 years and is now one of the most favoured cookware brands by master international chefs. Some of the cast iron cocottes’ features are its superior heat distribution and retention qualities and their unique lids.
The tight-fitting lids feature basting spikes on their interior that funnel condensation back into the food, resulting in perfectly cooked dishes that have retained their natural juices and moisture.
The cocotte with steamer-insert takes efficiency to a new level with its silicone seal that prevents steam escaping from the outer edges. In addition, the ability for two tier cooking (steaming on the upper level while cooking below) introduces excellent energy efficiencies.
As with all Staub cocottes, the Grenadine collection―available in its classic design as well as the French Rooster debossed model – is designed to be a lifetime utensil. The cocotte’s deep, lustrous glazed enamel exterior won’t chip, scratch, rust or stain. The matte black enamel on the inside is particularly valuable as, with use, it becomes a natural non-stick surface that just keeps on improving with use.
The beautiful good looks of the Grenadine collection mean they are intended to be used from oven or cooktop direct to the table―and their heat retention properties mean they will keep food warmer for longer. Their smooth flat under-surface enables each piece to be used on all types of cooktop, including induction.
The lid knobs are heat-resistant to 260ºC and prior to first use, the cocotte’s interior simply requires a wipe with warm oil on a soft cloth.
Retail prices range from $399.95 to $759.95.
