Overview
Stirring vegetables against wide, angled walls is what this round French pan is shaped for. Cast iron under an enamel coat holds heat for searing and frying, then moves into the oven for braising or slow cooking.
Heat retention is the reason to choose it: the iron stays hot when cold meat hits the surface, so browning does not stall. Weight is the downside, and the listing names only the pan as included, with no lid mentioned.
Who it's for
Small households cooking for a handful of people get a pan that sears, fries and braises on several cooktop types, induction included. Cooks with weak wrists, or a habit of tossing stir fries, should look elsewhere since the iron body is heavy.
Pros and cons
- Works on gas, coil and induction cooktops
- Oven safe for roasting and braising
- Wide angled sides limit spills while stirring
- Listed as dishwasher safe
- Too heavy to toss food wok style
- Lid absent from the included components
- Diameter not listed
Performance notes
Results depend on preheating: cast iron warms slowly, then holds its heat when food goes in, which favors searing and steady braises. The wide angled walls let food be pushed up and around without spilling over the rim.

Can the Staub enameled wok pan be used on a glass radiant cooktop?
Staub lists induction, gas and coil burners. Radiant glass tops are not named, so confirm with Staub before cooking on that surface.

No. It is a round pan with wide sloped sides that handles stir frying alongside searing, braising and roasting. Its weight suits stirring in place, not tossing.
How do I clean the Staub pan?
