Professional use The cookware's aesthetic complements the decor of some restaurants; some restaurants cook and serve dishes directly to customers at their tables in Staub cookware. The enamel coating makes the cookware rustproof, and easy to clean. Staub's cocottes have nubs on the interior of the lids, which enables condensation to collect and drip down to baste foods uniformly as they are cooking.Easy Green Living: The Ultimate Guide to Simple, Eco-Friendly Choices for ... – Renée Loux. p. 116.
