Staub Oval Enamel Cast Iron Oven/Roasting Dish 28cm- Black 1.6L

Savour Authentic French Gastronomy with the Staub Cast Iron Oval Roasting Dish
Elevate your roasting and baking capabilities with the exquisite Staub 28cm Enameled Cast Iron Oval Baking Dish (also known as a shallow gratin pan or heavy-duty roasting tray). Proudly engineered by the legendary French culinary house Staub, this multi-functional roasting pan is globally celebrated by professional chefs and home cooks for its exceptional heat retention and timeless kitchen-to-table presentation. Its low-profile and classic oval design make it the perfect vehicle for slow-roasting family chickens, baking fresh seafood bakes, preparing bubbling pasta dishes, or crisping golden potato gratins.

Finished in a timeless, professional Matte Black enamel coating, this premium roasting pan features a thick cast iron core that cooks meals uniformly while introducing elegant European styling directly onto your dinner table.

Professional-Grade Matte Black Interior for Superior Crisping
Achieve restaurant-quality browning, deep caramelisation, and seamless food release. The inner cooking basin is finished with Staub's specialized matte black enamel coating. Unlike shiny white porcelain coatings, this rough, textured layer functions like a seasoned skillet, promoting optimal browning and searing. It requires absolutely zero pre-seasoning cycles, resists scratches, and will not stain or discolour over years of heavy use.

Exceptional Heat Retention & Tabletop Appeal
Crafted from authentic, heavy-duty molten cast iron, this oval dish diffuses heat gently and stores thermal energy exceptionally well. It keeps your shared family side dishes or roasted proteins sizzling hot at the dinner table long after the stove has been turned off. Two robust, integrated cast iron handles are molded on either side to provide a secure, comfortable grip when lifting heavy portions with thick oven mitts.

Universal Cooktop Safety & Induction Readiness
Equipped with a perfectly smooth, glass-like enameled base, this roasting pan transfers energy efficiently without risk of scratching delicate kitchen glass surfaces. It is completely compatible with all domestic heat sources, including gas hobs, electric plate stoves, ceramic glass, halogen, and modern induction stovetops. It is highly thermal-shock resistant, safely operating inside ovens up to 260 C.
