The Staub Minis single pan in green is a compact cast iron pan with a 10 cm diameter and a weight of 700 g. Designed for cooking individual portions, it retains and distributes heat evenly thanks to its cast iron construction and enamel finish. The pan’s small footprint and durable build make it suitable for serving, simmering, searing, or baking single servings directly from stove to table.
Advantages
This single pan offers consistent heat retention and even distribution, reducing hot spots and allowing for controlled cooking of small portions. The enamel coating protects the cast iron from rust, simplifies cleaning, and prevents reactive contact with acidic ingredients. Its compact size and integrated handle provide convenient handling and plating, while the green enamel adds an aesthetic accent that complements kitchen decor.

How to use
Preheat the pan gradually on low to medium heat to avoid thermal shock and ensure even temperature distribution. Use the pan for searing, simmering, or baking single portions; when moving between stovetop and oven, use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves as the cast iron and handle will become hot. After cooking, allow the pan to cool slightly before cleaning. Hand wash with warm water and a soft brush or sponge; avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the enamel. Dry thoroughly to maintain the finish.
Usage recommendations
For best results, heat the pan slowly and avoid sudden extreme temperature changes. Preheat a small amount of oil before adding food to improve searing and prevent sticking. Do not use metal utensils that could chip the enamel; opt for wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant nylon tools. Store in a dry place and dry completely after washing to preserve the enamel surface and prevent corrosion on any uncoated edges.
