From the manufacturer
STAUB Chistera Braiser
Savour the flavour with the unique cast iron multi-functional braiser. Made by STAUB in France.
Founded by Francis STAUB in the culinary heartlands of Alsace, France in 1974, STAUB cast iron cookware has become a favourite of professional chefs and home cooks alike. STAUB is used by 45% of Michelin starred chefs in France, trusted for its reliably excellent results and durable construction, and prized for its timeless look.
The STAUB Chistera Braiser is ideal for cooking one-pot dishes, from ratatouille and piperade to braised chicken, risotto and even baking bread, then serving to guests at the dining table. The cast iron construction retains heat, keeping second helpings piping hot.
The Chistera Braiser takes its name from the popular racket sport played in the gastronomically renowned Basque region. The racket shaped nodules on the underside of the lid look like those used to play the game Chistera. During cooking, these nodules collect moisture that drips back evenly onto the food, giving a deliciously, succulent result.
- Cook in the oven and on the hob top, or brown under the grill
- Braise, roast, simmer and bake
- Serve at the table
The unique combination of the STAUB Chistera Braiser's matte black enamel cooking surface and the special lid with its self-basting system helps to develop wonderful flavour and texture. Glossy exterior enamel coatings range from strong, vibrant colours to discreet, neutral tones, meaning there's a shade to complement every kitchen and dining room design.
Better Flavour with STAUB
Rainfall Self-Basting Lid
The round, heavy lid ensures a tight seal so all the moisture, flavours and seasoning remain trapped inside. As steam rises, it condenses to form "Aroma Rain" which drops back down into the dish like rainfall thanks to the ‘picots’, or little spikes on the underside of the lid.
- Continual self-basting
- Retains & redistributes moisture
- Keeps your dish succulent & full of flavour
Glossy Enamel Exterior
The coloured enamel coating gives deep, elegant colour to the STAUB cocotte. A base layer is applied, dried, then baked before the coloured coating is sprayed on for an even finish. The cocotte is then fired for the colour enamel to harden and smoothly adhere to the cast iron & base layer.
- Double or triple layer enamelling
- Fired at 800°C for durability
- Majolica top layer almost 100% glass
Cast Iron Construction
Cast iron heats slowly and evenly which helps to prevent hotspots and burning. Cast iron also retains heat so you can turn down the gas or power, saving energy. It is robust, durable and versatile, and the flat, even base gives perfect contact for efficient use on induction hobs.
- Induction hob ready
- Cook slowly to develop flavour
- Retains temperature to keep dishes hot or cold
Matte Black Enamel Interior
The rough, matte black enamelled cooking surface is ideal for caramelising & browning which is great to develop the flavour of your dish. The enamel is hard-wearing, resilient and scratch-resistant, and with use over time, develops a patina which helps to prevent food sticking.
- Micro-grill surface for flavour
- Perfect for searing and browning
- Scratch resistant, easy to clean and doesn't stain
