Staub Care | Staub La Cocotte 2.5qt & 4qt | How to Clean used Cocotte? | New & Used Care

[@smflyboy]

For all those saying that you don’t need to season your enameled coating, he is following the exact procedure recommended by Staub to enhance the non-stick coating before first using it. It may be different for Le Creuset ovens as they have a different surface, but for Staub ovens this video is correct.

[@chsulie]

Thanks for your comment and input!!!! Thanks for watching!😊

[@Drebe73]

That same info is mentioned in the included care booklet - “After unwrapped, remove any labels. Rinse with warm water and let air dry. Your product is ready to use.” “…brush product at regular intervals with cooking oil and slowly heat it on the stove…” I’ll be using the technique as illustrated in this video. - Thanks for demonstrating.

[@chsulie]

@@Drebe73 You are so welcome!!!! Thanks for your comment! 😊

Wooden chopstick scrub would remove the burnt protein

[@feliciad.hutchins4507]

I didn’t know that. I guess that is good advice. Since the enamel is black, it would be harder to see if the black enamel is chipped.

[@mahvashnejad]

Water and baking soda works its magic when boiling together or baking soda paste left over night. I have a couple of them that were burnt badly due to not knowing how to take care of them, and now they are revived and got a new life. 🙂

[@chsulie]

That’s great!!! Thanks for sharing!!! 😊

[@david111davies]

how did you burn them badly, i want to avoid doing that to my new one

[@mahvashnejad]

@@david111davies I cooked veggies on high heat and that is what happened. Making sure there is always enough liquid in the pot or it could get burned. In any case, I am doing my staub seasoning every few months as a routine now.

[@nikooooo7661]

I also love doing a vinegar and baking soda soak in the sink. Works every time. 1 part vinegar and some baking soda to 3 or 4 parts water on top. You can also boil some baking soda and water together and it will come out like new after you rinse it out in the sink with some soap after

[@chsulie]

Thanks for sharing!!! 😊

[@PinkEggplant]

How long do you let it soak for? I was afraid perhaps soaking it in liquid for love time will rust the iron.

[@nikooooo7661]

@@PinkEggplant do you have a staub? They don’t rust. It’s enameled. I soak it in water soap and vinegar for 24 hours when I use it for long braised. It cleans right up.

[@PinkEggplant]

@@nikooooo7661 Yes I do, oh sorry I didn't know that enameled prevents it from rusting lol. Thanks for clearing it up.

[@Brutalgruve]

If I used this method of cleaning, I would never use the pot. Hot water with a soft nylon brush and dish soap takes it all off. Then I put it back on the stove (med) to heat back, apply a very thin layer of olive oil with a paper towel and heat until it just starts to smoke, so the oil purifies and does not leave a possible putrid smell if it sits for a while (this step is not necessary, just keeps the inside looking brand new). Wipe out with a tea cloth that I use on all my cast iron. All my Staubs look brand new, and I use them a lot

[@RogerThat902]

Yes, agreed. Nothing really wrong in the video, but It doesn't need to babied as much as was shown. Enameled cast iron is used because of it's durability without some of the fuss of other cast iron/carbon steel pans. Not using metal utensils is probably the most valuable thing...and even there plenty of people do it.

[@Vac700R]

I haven't taken the plunge yet and buy the 28cm chistera because Staub are expensive in my country and the Basil Green versions of any Staub costs a lot more than other colours, in the mid to upper $400 range. In the meantime i bought an inexpensive enameled Pot in a lovely shade of green. Even though it's not Staub, i follow your care instructions to care for it properly. I wish Staub offers 30/32cm Chistera. I would have taken the plunge already.

[@DogsRGr8]

Very nice video! I love my Staub cocotte. Mine is red.

[@chsulie]

Thank you! Good choice! Stay connected!

[@ARP44music]

How do you clean the pot lid inside? Especially in the groove on the edge?

[@chsulie]

Occasionally when braising in the oven the lid will gets a lot of residual. I try to soak it overnight with some baking soda with water. Then I would use a sponge to clean it.

[@kathyfann]

I use a wooden spatula. And wooden spoons

[@minhngan3658]

Please help!!!! How come my pot still stuck the food? Thank you

[@chsulie]

Please keep in mind that by coating the cocotte with the oil is not a bullet proof from getting food being stick onto the pot. But not to worried, once you finish cooking you put some water in the cocotte and let is boil for 15 to 20 minutes and most of the food that stuck to the cocotte will come off. An alternative way is to wash your cocotte with baking soda and that will help clean your cocotte as well!😊

[@carynhuse7213]

Agree with Nick.

[@kathyfann]

Why if mine is enabled and oil needs up won’t condition the enabled inside

[@kathyfann]

Why if we have enabled inside mine missed non stick process I did this but the pot is horrible to get food off the bottom

[@TonneEsthetics]

Excellent video. Thank you!

[@zainalu]

Hi! I have read that the interior suface is matte/textured. Is it too rough? Is it not smooth?

[@chsulie]

I would not say the interior surface is as smooth as an interior surface of a Le Creuset. But in general it is as smooth as you can get from a cast iron cocotte because it is coated. I hope this helps.

[@zainalu]

@@chsulie I hope it is not as rough as rough as Lodge cast iron skillet surfaces.

[@anthonytam5633]

How do you clean brown stains?

[@chsulie]

You can soak it with baking soda and vinegar for 30 min and then clean it with dish soap again.

[@victorkeranov2084]

Nooo! Too much oil. To properly season it you need very thin layer of oil.

[@marcegzzdeluna]

Mine always gets a gray film after washing and drying 😢

[@LolaDelMarCaribe]

You don't have to season Staub dutch ovens, even that dark part is enamel coated even though it looks like non enameled. Btw that color is beautiful, I have them in white.

[@chsulie]

It is optional and it is recommended to do it before the first time use to enhance the coating.

[@midnighteater3275]

I looked it up and it does. I was shocked 😳

[@bowlingbrawn3063]

I don’t have any vegetable oil in my cupboard. I just have avocado oil and olive oil. Can I use one of those instead to season the pot?

[@chsulie]

I think you can use the avocado oil as a substitute...

[@kathyfann]

I didn’t try to add water and heat it again maybe that’s helpful

[@kristakilgen1137]

Super helpful! Thank you!

[@chsulie]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@Michael-xz1nk]

Agree. There is absolutely no reason to season Staub or Le Crueset pots. It defeats the whole purpose and not recommended by both manufacturers.

[@AlexFong0226]

For Le Crueset you might be right but according to the Staub website it stated "All Staub products are enameled both on the outside and the inside. We recommend that before using your product for the first time you wash it in warm water and then let it dry thoroughly. Brush a little vegetable oil over the inside surfaces of the product, heat it at a low temperature and then after a few minutes remove any excess oil. The product can now be used." www.staub-online.com/uk/en/pages/faq_castiron.html#:~:text=We%20recommend%20that%20before%20using,minutes%20remove%20any%20excess%20oil.

[@Michael-xz1nk]

I now realize that Staub has conflicting communications...I have definitely seen company promo's on KZbin that say that seasoning is not necessary. I know several who own Staub and LC and do not season either of them, with no degradation in performance for what it's worth. At the end of the day, do whatever is comfortable.

[@chsulie]

Agree... Do whatever you guys are comfortable with!!

[@katherinegroffman9394]

This is very true!

[@claptoned0]

I've got 4 Staub and the notice says to season like that. Like an iron stove ( De Buyer, for exemple). Here is a vidéo showing this kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn6ogqqigr1ghZo

[@patricialepage924]

What If I used it a few times but never did the process with vegetable oil the first time, is it too late to do it ?

[@chsulie]

It’s never too late… clean your cocotte really well with baking soda, once it is dry you can do this process. 😊

[@steveisaak4320]

I have been looking at the Dutch oven. I know that Staub and Le Crasent (ms) are the two leaders. Still haven’t made up my mind

[@chsulie]

In my opinion, i am in love with Staub as you can clearly see in by unboxing videos... In terms, of price point you might be able to find a better deal in Staub, but if color is your concern then Le Creuset has more options. Anyway either way you will fall in love using a Dutch Oven cookware!!!

[@steveisaak4320]

@@chsulie i want to see if it makes a difference in my chili’s and spaghettis as well as roast

[@chsulie]

If you do a lot of braising, then you may notice a difference. So perhaps for the chili's you might see the difference, otherwise not so much. The Staub Cocotte is made heavier which help retain the heat more evenly. The spikes on the lid help baste the food more evenly as well! I hope this helps!😊

I was going to buy this pot but this video has actually discouraged me. Too much for maintenance.

The maintenance is really not too bad. What I show in the video is the initial first time use for the cocotte. You don't have to frequently do what I am suggesting.

Haha there is no direct contact to cast iron other than edge. Interior is coated, so oiling is no needed. Just wash it clean and wipe dry.

Nothing new here, just simple season the pot before usage and this guys made 12 minute video instead of 12 seconds.🤦🏻 I’ll tell you what. Just heat up the oil until smoking and deep fry a sliced onion until it’s crispy. Done. I’ve been using Staub for over 15 years.
