Care instructions for STAUB & BALLARINI products (2024)

FAQs

How do you care for Ballarini cookware? ›

We always recommend cleaning the pan by hand. If you are using a dishwasher, use liquid dishwashing detergent here and eco-wash cycles at low temperatures. This protects your product and the environment. Store the dishes carefully and avoid scratching the non-stick coating to ensure a long service life.

Recommended Cleaning Process

Once cooled slightly, gently rinse the cookware with warm water. If there is food residue clinging to the internal enamel, fill the pot, pan, or dutch oven with warm soapy water and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Staub goes so far as to recommend soaking overnight for stubborn food bits.

You can wash your STAUB product in the dishwasher. Do not use your product on direct heat sources or stove burners. To avoid any risk of burns, always use a potholder or oven glove. Do not place a hot vessel on an unprotected surface.

Just like cast iron pans non-stick pans should be seasoned before first use and after each use. TIP: When you get your non-stick pan home, wash it by hand in warm soapy water, rinse and dry it, then rub it with a paper towel that has a little oil on it. Pretty much any oil will do.

The short answer: No! Here's why – when dealing with raw cast iron, seasoning with heat and oil is part of the necessary maintena nce for the pan which would otherwise rust. STAUB cast iron cookware is enameled inside and out – which gives your pans protection from rusting, among other benefits which we'll get into.

Bar Keeper's Friend or baking soda will take care of any stubborn spots, and when you're done cleaning: just dry off and put it away. No seasoning required.

Staub's black matte interior is also a porous material - it works similar to a traditional cast iron pan where it absorbs the fats (oils) from cooking and redistributes it when you heat it up again. So like a non-enameled cast iron pan, the more you use your Staub, the more non-stick it becomes.

For more than half a century, French cookware brand Staub has been the choice of top chefs battling it out for dominance in the culinary world.

Yes, they're cast iron. The pot itself will last forever.

Mini: Staub makes mini cocottes in both enameled cast iron and stoneware with a porcelain finish, though the stoneware can't be used on the stove, so they're more bakeware than cookware. Both kinds are great for making single servings or to use as serving dishes.

Keeping cookware featuring Teflon™ nonstick coatings clean and looking new is easy. Wash cooled pots and pans with hot, soapy water and a sponge or dishcloth. For pans with leftover oil or food residue, cleaning pads labeled safe for nonstick cookware/bakeware can be used with dish washing liquid.

Ceramic pans can be put into the dishwasher but, as with other types of cookware that are dishwasher safe, washing by hand is recommended. Handwashing will ensure the coating stays intact for years to come. Nathan recommends cleaning a ceramic pan with warm, soapy water and a nonabrasive sponge.

First, never heat your pan without at least a little oil in it, which will help build up a polymer finish that's practically non-stick. Then after cooking, brush your pan free of food residue using an ergonomic wand with bristles, like Scotch-Brite™ Brand's version that's designed to dispense dish soap as needed.

Wash and Season Nonstick Pans Before Using

You can season nonstick cookware by lightly rubbing cooking oil over the surface, then heating the pan on the stove over medium heat for two or three minutes. Once it cools down, wipe out any excess oil with a paper towel before storing.
