A Staub classic. It's a great everyday tool for stews, stir-fries, and more. The beautiful round form won't get old even after years of use. The spikes (picots) on the underside of the lid circulate the steam containing the deliciousness from the ingredients evenly, preventing the original flavors of the food from escaping. It can be used directly on a gas stove, as well as with all heat sources such as IH (100V, 200V), ovens, halogen heaters, and sheathed heaters. It's also beautiful enough to bring directly to the table, and your food won't get cold. ■ High thermal conductivity and heat retention ■ Durable enamel (enamel) processing. ■ Self-basting system
