The question isn't what do I make in this pan but rather what don't you make in this pan. I reach for it for stir fry, taco meat, steaming veggies (with lid) or even baking bread. The black interior behaves almost like non stick because it's so easy to clean up. The handles are generous and comfortable for placing in and out of the oven.
All around, everyday great pan for endless cooking! While it looks like a wok, it performs in so many other ways and browns, cooks, frys, etc. Almost nothing you cannot do in this pan! I love the matte black color - that and the grill feature sold me on this. I was not disappointed. Great price for how often you will use this.
We use this pan literally everyday. I have used it as a wok of course but also as a steamer, fry pan and I have even baked bread in it. Staub's interior black matte finish is amazing and produces perfect searing / caramelizing.
This is a super versatile cast iron wok. Don't think of it as just for making stir fry, you can cook almost anything in this pan. The cooling rack comes in very handy when cooking different foods at the same time. The lid fits tightly so you can steam too. Love this pan, it is THE Perfect Pan!
The unique basil color will add a nice pop of color to your kitchen. The perfect pan is one of the most versatile pieces coming from Staub. I like to use mine for frying up chicken wings on game days, donut holes for a weekend treat or for one of the many delicious recipes from the Staub cookbook! My go to is the Kung Pao Cauliflower that is perfect in this pan. See what I did there...
I thought this was a wok, but actaully so versitle. I deep fry in it. Made some amazing pasta dishes. The added bonus is you can put it right on the table and it looks great too.
You won't regret adding this unique white truffle Perfect Pan to your cookware collection. This piece is incredibly versatile! I like to use it to fry up chicken wings for game day, donut holes for a weekend treat or simply for a delicious Kung Pao Cauliflower (from the Staub cookbook!). The nonstick enameled cast iron interior is the perfect heating vessel for all of those dishes and more! Plus, it's super easy to clean!
This is such a versatile pan. It looks like a wok but it can do so much more. The cast iron distributes the heat all the way up the sides and it has a wire rack, so it's perfect for deep frying. It has a smooth bottom so it won't scratch my glass cooktop like traditional cast iron.
