Cast iron round pot Staub 1023187 2.3 l, truffle

Staub round cast iron pot, 2.3 l in truffle color, combines classic cast iron construction with an enamel finish for everyday cooking. The 2.3-litre capacity and compact round shape make it suitable for small households or for preparing single-portion meals. Designed to deliver even heat distribution and long heat retention, this pot is appropriate for slow braising, stewing, simmering and for bringing dishes from stovetop to oven to table.

Advantages

The heavy cast iron body ensures consistent temperature across the base and walls, reducing hot spots and supporting long, gentle cooking. The interior enamel coating prevents reactive contact with acidic ingredients, simplifies cleaning compared with bare cast iron, and resists chipping under normal use. A tight-fitting lid helps retain moisture and flavor while the compact size offers easy storage and efficient use of energy for small portions.

Suitable for

• Braising meats and vegetables
• Preparing stews, soups and casseroles for one to two people
• Simmering sauces and reductions
• Oven finishing, gratins and keeping food warm for serving

How to use

Begin by preheating the pot gently on low to medium heat before adding oil or other cooking fats. Use wooden or silicone utensils to protect the enamel surface. For braising or stewing, brown ingredients on the stovetop, add liquids and aromatics, cover with the lid and transfer to the oven or reduce heat to a gentle simmer on the stove. Avoid rapid temperature changes such as placing a hot pot into cold water to prevent thermal shock to the enamel.

Usage recommendations

To preserve the enamel finish, avoid metal scrubbing pads and aggressive detergents. For everyday cleaning, soak briefly if needed and clean with a soft sponge; dry thoroughly to prevent moisture on external cast iron parts. Use moderate heat settings on induction and stovetops to leverage the pot’s heat retention rather than very high direct heat.
