Founded by Francis STAUB in the culinary heartlands of Alsace, France in 1974, STAUB cast iron cookware has become a favourite of professional chefs and home cooks alike. STAUB is used by 45% of Michelin starred chefs in France, trusted for its reliably excellent results and durable construction, and prized for its timeless look.
The STAUB Chistera Braiser is ideal for cooking one-pot dishes, from ratatouille and piperade to braised chicken, risotto and even baking bread, then serving to guests at the dining table. The cast iron construction retains heat, keeping second helpings piping hot.
The Chistera Braiser takes its name from the popular racket sport played in the gastronomically renowned Basque region. The racket shaped nodules on the underside of the lid look like those used to play the game Chistera. During cooking, these nodules collect moisture that drips back evenly onto the food, giving a deliciously, succulent result.

The unique combination of the STAUB Chistera Braiser's matte black enamel cooking surface and the special lid with its self-basting system helps to develop wonderful flavour and texture. Glossy exterior enamel coatings range from strong, vibrant colours to discreet, neutral tones, meaning there's a shade to complement every kitchen and dining room design.
