STAUB ceramic production – highest quality and elegance

From the very beginning, STAUB has been dedicated to crafting top-quality cookware. Our products are meticulously crafted from premium materials and undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet the demands of today's kitchens.

Traditional craftsmanship

Each piece is crafted individually using traditional manufacturing methods. We take great pride in the "Hand Finished" label. Throughout the production process, each piece is meticulously inspected to ensure it meets our high-quality standards. We highly recommend watching our informative video showcasing our manufacturing process.

MATERIAL AND FORM

THE PERFECT START

The foundation of ceramic production lies in the use of premium, organic materials. The caliber of the raw materials and the precise combination of clay and water are imperative factors in achieving a flawless end result.

IN GOOD SHAPE

To ensure consistent quality, every product is crafted with a precise mould tailored specifically for it. Each unique shape is then imprinted with the word "STAUB," symbolizing our commitment to meticulous production and superior quality.

POUR OUT

In one go

The manufacturing technology is determined by the shape of the product. When pouring liquid, it is crucial to precisely portion the clay to achieve accuracy. It is imperative to ensure that the liquid evenly fills each cavity.

Timing

Precise timing is crucial when pouring. The outcome relies on a harmonious combination of skill and expertise.

Handwork

After being poured, the product is lifted from the mould and is now prepared for the next stage of production. Throughout all subsequent processing, each step must be executed with precision.

Die casting

Individual manufacturing process

Some products are manufactured using the die-casting process. This technique allows the product to rest in the mould for longer.

Handwork

Manual production-related corrections require a steady hand and a thorough understanding of the material.

Corrections

Following the initial manual adjustments on the underside, the product is extracted from the mould. This allows for a preliminary inspection of the ceramics. Certain areas of each shape require individual attention during production, necessitating manual corrections.

Rotation method

Portioning

The rotational method is the top choice for creating circular ceramic products. In order to achieve this, the raw material must be accurately measured and divided beforehand.

Shape and positioning

Each product is precisely portioned and placed into the mould before the raw material is prepared for the next step.

Curves

The perfect round ceramic shape is meticulously crafted with an ideal rotation speed and perfect angle.

Auslösen

Nach der Rotation muss das Produkt von Hand aus dem Träger gelöst werden. Hierbei werden auch die produktionsbedingten Korrekturen durchgeführt.

Ruhen

Nach dem Auslösen muss die runde Keramikform ruhen.

Dry

Air

The products are molded and allowed to dry naturally in order to attain the ideal durability for the firing procedure.

DRY SEASON

From experience, each ceramic form needs time to dry to ensure high-quality standards.

Trimming and polishing

Handwork

Hand-tuning is essential for achieving precision in numerous shapes, particularly in intricately designed ceramic pieces. Some products even demand handcrafted detailing for a flawless finish.

Lid

For instance, knobs are typically handcrafted and carefully worked on during the processing stage.

Fine touches

Ultimately, crafting the best possible product requires a steady hand and a keen eye.

COLOR GLAZE

Pigments

The enamel is crafted from a combination of glass powder and colour pigments, resulting in STAUB's distinct and recognizable hues.

DELICATE

When it comes to glazing, handling the process with great sensitivity is essential. This is crucial as the product should not be left in the glaze for a brief or extended period.

Dive

Accomplishing a successful glazing process demands much manual labour and patience. It is crucial to carefully determine the ideal colour edge and tone throughout the process.

Aufgetaucht

Nachdem die Keramik die perfekte Lasur erhalten hat, muss sie wiederholt ruhen und trocknen.

Burning process

Before burning

The ceramic products remain undisturbed, their once vibrant shades fading into soft and delicate pastels. One can only anticipate the vivid STAUB hues that will soon adorn them.
