The Essential French Oven with Chistera lid is the latest star in the cast iron collection. Like Staub’s signature flat lid, the domed Chistera lid has excellent self-basting properties. Usually, a convex lid causes condensation to fall to the sides. The innovative, Chistera drop-structure lid solves this problem by putting a twist on traditional spikes. Moisture cascades from the whole lid. This continuous basting guarantees delectable roast chicken and braised short ribs. Matte black enamel interior heats and enhances caramelization, excellent searing. Versatile design goes from oven to table. Enameled cast iron is easy to clean and does not require seasoning.
