- Is the Staub shallow oval Dutch oven dishwasher safe?
- Staub advises hand washing enameled cast iron. Dishwasher detergent can dull the enamel over time, so wash it by hand and dry it fully.
- How does it differ from a round Dutch oven?
- It is wider and shallower, so it fits whole chickens and long cuts and gives more surface area for searing. A round pot holds more liquid for deep stews.
- Does the black interior need seasoning?
- No. The interior is matte black enamel, not bare iron, so it needs no seasoning and will not rust. Avoid metal utensils that can scratch it.
- What cooktops and ovens can it go in?
- It works on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops and is oven safe. Check Staub's stated maximum oven temperature for the knob before high-heat roasting.
- Can I use it for frying and baking?
- Yes. The low sides suit shallow frying, gratins and no-knead bread. For deep frying or large batches of stew, a deeper pot is a better fit.
- What size bird fits in it?
- The 6.25-quart shallow oval fits a whole chicken or a small turkey and long cuts like a rack of ribs. Measure your oven and bird before buying.
