Self Basting System
Spikes on lids create a rain-forest effect that cycles moisture back to foods.
Due to the superior construction of the Staub cocotte lids, less
humidity can escape during the cooking process. 10% more moisture than
in products from competitors is retained inside the Staub cocotte after
55 minutes cooking time.*
The self basting system consisting of distributed spikes over the whole inside flat lid ensures a continues rainfall effect over the food inside the cocotte. The Staub selfbasting system in the lid is 9 times more effective than conventional lids.**

Staub
Staub lids are flat and have spikes, and spread a small but effective quantity of water over the central part of the food cooking in the pot. Volume flow of water dropping on the central part of the food: ~0.02 l/h
Brand A
Cast-iron pots with convex lids having smooth surfaces do not allow condensation water to spread over the central part of the food cooking in them. Volume flow of condensation water dropping on the central part of the food: 0 l/h
