Overview
Staub shapes the Wa-NABE with a rounded bottom that circulates rice and liquids for even cooking, under a thick lid whose Chistera bumps drip condensation back onto the food. The enameled cast iron body works on induction, gas and in the oven.
The rounded base and basting lid are designed for fluffy rice and rich soups for one or two. Cast iron adds weight, and capacity is small.
Who it's for
Small households and rice lovers get a dedicated enameled pot that also serves at the table. Big-batch cooks need a full-size cocotte.
Pros and cons
- Rounded base circulates heat
- Works on induction
- Enameled, no seasoning needed
- Heavy for its capacity
- Care instructions not detailed
Performance notes
Cast iron stores heat and releases it evenly, and the rounded bottom moves contents as they simmer. Condensation collects on the lid spikes and drips back, which holds moisture in the rice.
