Staub is a brand of enameled cast iron cookware and bakeware that was originally headquartered in Turckheim, Alsace, France. The first piece, a cocotte (Dutch oven), was designed by Francis Staub in 1974. Pieces are manufactured with cast iron covered with double-glazed enamel. The enamel coating makes the cookware rustproof, and enables for easy cleaning. Staub's cocottes have nubs on the interior of the lids, which enables condensation to collect and drip down to baste foods uniformly as they are cooking.
