Is My Staub Defective?

Shop Staub Canada: https://www.consiglioskitchenware.com...

Staub is made in France and each dutch oven/cocotte is one of a kind and finished by hand.

Each piece varies if form and colour due to the manufacturing process and the fact that each piece is made one at a time. Each cast iron product is sand casted. Each mold is only used once and then gets destroyed. That truly makes each Staub cast iron product a unique piece.

Rather than saying a piece is made, Staub prefers to say a piece is "born".

The high quality enamel is coated on the interior and exterior with 2-3 layers. The Majolica enamelling technique offers 3 layers, each piece is hand sprayed with enamel colouring - this means each piece will be slightly different.

Staub cast iron cookware allows each piece to be one-of-a-kind and unique, just like a finger print.
