STAUBDish 40509-393 Oval Stackable Dish, Black, 9.4 inches (24 cm), Enamel, Iron Au Gratin Dish

Great standard Staub quality. Looks great and cooks wonderfully. Easy to clean if you follow the guide. Haven’t put it in the dishwasher, never been necessary. Good heat retention as you’d expect from cast iron.A nice addition to the collection.

I have two of these in different sizes and wouldn't be without either of them. Although names like Le Creuset are better known, Staub is one of the top ovenware brands, every bit as prestigious. I was able to chuck out a lot of old and very second rate oven dishes when I bought mine, and they will last forever - no chance of cracking or shattering.The cast-iron with enamel coating build, makes them satisfyingly dense but not too heavy, absorbs heat and serves as a perfect vessel for roasting and baking. They have proved to be non-stick, which is seriously useful.The design works so well. With raised handles at either end, it is easy to grasp to remove them from the oven with oven gloves, which is important because they get very hot.They are easy to clean in warm water with washing up liquid. The instructions say that they are dishwasher proof, but that the harsh detergents may impact the non stick properties. Honestly, they wash so easily under a tap that this is no problem (speaking as someone whose dishwasher is her best friend).Fabulously, although I use mine mainly in my fan-assisted oven, it can be heated on my induction hob too. The user guide warns that regardless of the heat source, heat must be introduced progressively (start it low and raise the heat slowly).Finally, they look great - ideal for presenting on the dining table to serve if required.

smaller than i expected. good looking to serve food, but not very easy to clean after oven use

I love these dishes. Perfect for roast potatoes, a chicken, roasting lots of chicken portions... No non stick to poison you, and the enamelled cast iron gets better and better as you use and season it. I have two of them and hope to buy the third, intermediate size eventually

Great little roasting dish for 1-3 people.Roasted potatoes, parsnips and honey glazed carrots with fantastic results.Like all quality cast iron-will improve with use.
