Use it to prep dinner party meals in advance so you can spend more time with your guests. The multi cooker will keep your meal warm and will never overcook it. The Staub Multi-Cooker takes one-pot cooking to new levels. Enhance texture and depth of flavor using hybrid techniques like braise-slow cooking and steam-roasting.

Enjoy deep, full-flavored sauces and perfectly cooked fork-tender meat through a combination of high heat and low and slow cooking. The energy-saving insulating ring is designed for use with the 5.5-quart Staub Dutch oven, keeping the heat in the pan and ensuring even heat distribution throughout. A smaller insulating ring sold separately can be used with the 4-quart Staub Dutch oven. Remove the insulating ring and your multi cooker becomes an induction cooktop for pans with up to a 9.5-inch base.
