Fegersheim: Staub

Waited for this one for awhile too - cooking toys.

If you remember when we last left Staub, we had picked up some various industrial strength cast iron cooking pots from Staub (waiting for the people at Hasbro to replace the paultry candlestick that Colonel Mustard used in the Billards room with one of these bad boys).

As an afterthough I picked up two small iron chafing dishes that I found later made the most amazing apple or cherry crisp you've ever seen. Granted they still don't have the nostalgia as the original crisp pan, but these were good. So good, that I had to get more.

Unfortunately the Staub supply chain at said outlet store is about as predictable as Irish weather, so I had to go with the 5 inch diameter pans instead - figured I could use them for a Ya-Ya at some point so I got 8.

And in a followup note, turns out I use them all the time for dinner, turns out they are the perfect size for single portions or hot side dishes.
