Staub Cast Iron Oval Gratin Baking Dish

No, this dish comes ready to use right out of the box. The interior is coated with a matte black enamel that does not require seasoning like traditional raw cast iron.

Yes, the cast iron construction is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric. It is a versatile piece that can transition from the stovetop to the oven.

While it is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to preserve the enamel finish and longevity of the piece. A quick wash with warm, soapy water is usually all that is needed.

For stubborn, stuck-on food, soak the dish in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before gently scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge or nylon brush. Avoid using metal utensils or harsh scouring pads, as these can scratch the enamel.

This dish is designed for individual or small-portion servings. It is perfect for single-person gratins, side dishes, or appetizers, rather than family-sized main courses.

Yes, the dish is oven-safe up to 900°F. However, please note that this temperature rating applies to the dish itself; if you are using any accessories or if your oven has specific limitations, always prioritize the safety guidelines of your appliance.
