This multifunctional sauté pan comes with a lid featuring Staub's unique Chistera drop structure. The structure on the inside causes condensation to evenly drip back onto the cooking food ensuring that all the ingredients remain moist, aromatic, and juicy. There is no need to add water or other liquids when using the pan. It is made of cast iron which makes it ideal for slow and gentle braising. Cast iron retains and distributes heat evenly, ensuring exceptional cooking results. It is also very robust and scratch resistant. Use the multifunctional roasting pan for frying or braising on any type of cooker, and continue cooking your dish in the oven.
