Product detailed description

Casserole pot with Chistera cast iron "self-basting" pot lid ensures that whatever you cook in it is delicious and delicate.

Drop-Structure Chistera

Innovative cast iron pot lids with Chistera Drop-Structure for tenderizing food were designed by Samuel Accoceberry, who has been collaborating with the French brand Staub for many years.

Unlike other convex pot lids, which release condensed water only at the edges of the pot, the new Chistera pot lids have the ability to ensure that condensed water drips evenly into the entire dish being prepared. The food therefore does not dry out during cooking.

The special structure on the underside of the pot lid collects evaporated water and, thanks to its perfect shape, accelerates its circulation in the pot. If a large enough droplet forms, it is returned to the pot. The appearance of the pot lid's structure was inspired by the shape of the Chistera wicker racket from the Basque game of Pelota, used to catch and throw the ball. Pot lid thanks to a similar principle allows for optimizing cooking results by returning evaporated water back into the cooking process.
