Awesome pan. Glass lid not so much.
on November 15, 2021
Posted by: All around pan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pan is awesome for stove top shallow or stir fry, as well as baking in the oven. This is the best pan I’ve ever cooked bacon in plus the half moon rack allowed me to keep the cooked pieces warm while I continued to cook new pieces. The glass lid had a small chip near the knob and in all fairness, I bought a pan with a visual imperfection. It was fine until I put it in the oven to make bread pudding and removed it after an hour at 350. Took the lid off and set it on my cutting board. Walked the dish to the table and came back to see a small crack forming. It later collapsed and broke under its own weight. I’d buy a replacement piece of glass but I don’t need the metal ring or the knob since both are still perfect (which is most of the cost of the lid.) Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Everything sticks!
on February 19, 2021
Posted by: Ceffen
I’ve had this wok for about a year now. The color beautiful and the shape so great for many different things. I came to this site to read the reviews because every time I’ve used it, no matter what I’m cooking, the food sticks to it. I came here hoping to find a solution or to see if maybe it was defective but I see from the reviews, I am
Not alone! Super disappointing to read that I need to use excessive amounts of fat in order for foods not to stick.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The black matte enamel surface is not non-stick. Using oil will prevent most sticking, yet there still may be sticking which helps to brown, braise, and reduce your meals better. Over time your Staub pot will naturally create a non-stick surface on the bottom
So, although it does not need to be seasoned, we recommend that you do; over time you will have a smoother, less sticky surface.
But for actual cooking, it is NOT non-stick. It is a case-by-case basis where you will need to experiment on your own. If you do try your recipe without oil, and it sticks, you can soak the pan for a little while in warm water with baking soda, and use a little baking soda on a washcloth / sponge. It should come right off.

Multi Function

I originally purchased this pan for stir fry and dumplings. Quickly came to realize this pan is a great braiser, roaster, deep fryer, and fry pan. Love the rack that fits on one side of the pan to drain deep fried foods. Perfect for Super Bowl Sunday gatherings and the best pan for homemade donuts!
