30 DAYS OPEN PURCHASEA long handle is handy at the hob but in the way almost everywhere else. In the oven it takes up space, and on the table it points straight at someone. This pan from Staub has two short handles instead, so it moves just as smoothly from hob to oven and on to the table.
The pan is cast in France and enamelled with Staub's matt black enamel, which has a slightly rough texture inside. It withstands high heat and gives a proper sear, and the cast iron holds its heat even when you add cold ingredients. Brown meat, fry fish and vegetables, or let something finish gratinating in the oven and bring the pan to the table as it is. The handles get just as hot as the rest, so keep oven gloves close at hand.
Available in two sizes. The 20 cm is just right for a couple of eggs, a small gratin or a portion for one or two, and holds 1.2 litres. The 34 cm has a 30 cm base and takes a paella, a big batch of root vegetables or dinner for the whole party.
Works on all hobs including induction, in the oven up to 260 °C and on the grill. Dishwasher safe.
