Koop Staub gietijzeren koekenpan

That basil color is gorgeous in person, and the pan's heat retention really shines when I drop in a cold steak—it barely loses temperature. I've used it nearly every night for a month and the seasoning just keeps getting better.

The 12-inch size is perfect for searing a big batch of chicken thighs without crowding, and the heat retention means the pan stays hot even after adding cold meat. I left it on the stove for a minute too long and it still released the food cleanly, which is more than I can say for my old nonstick.

The basil green color is even prettier in person, and the pan’s heat retention means my steaks come out with a perfect crust every single time. Cooks like a dream and cleans up with just a quick wipe.
