You can throw in the tea towel too, thank you

What happens when you cross decades of French cooking with modern urban interior design? If you haven’t managed to dream up your own answer, don’t worry. The heritage cookware brand, STAUB, has collaborated with Buster + Punch on a limited edition line of cocottes and frying pans.

The design of the best induction pans, cocottes and frying pans has always looked very traditional. Whilst I'm all for keeping things simple and classic, it's always refreshing when a brand brings something different to the market. Enter, the STAUB x Buster + Punch collection.

STAUB's famous expertise in durable, high-performance cookware makes the perfect match for Buster + Punch's signature edgy, industrial metallic aesthetic. The collection's metal handles and classic design makes for some modern, covetable kitchen essentials. If you’re a keen chef looking for something unique, this limited-edition collection is exactly what you need. And, right now, they're reduced at Harrods too. It's perfect.

What’s in the collection?

Half French and full English, the collection includes STAUB’s iconic frying pan and cocotte, with Buster + Punch’s signature cross-knurled handles. You get a taste of the classics, flavoured with some more modern aesthetics too.

If that looks and sounds very special, it’s because these are. They’re premium with a little extra luxury sprinkled on top. My favourite little extra is that these are limited edition, so you’re investing in pieces that nobody else is ever likely to get their oven mitts on. Talk about special treatment.

Where to shop the collection

The STAUB X Buster + Punch collection is limited edition, which means that it also translates into being a little less available than STAUB. However, there are still some reliable retailers that you can go to:

  • STAUB: find the brand's classics as well as limited-edition collections
  • Harrods: shop and save in the sale right now
  • Buster + Punch: look at more metalware and urban home essentials

FAQs

How long will the Staub x Buster + Punch collection be available for?

The launch is still only new (it was first announced in October), but it's very firmly marketed as a limited edition collection. That means it'll only be around for as long as stocks last.

Is STAUB cast iron any good?

STAUB has been making ceramics, enamelware, and cast iron for decades. I'd put them in the same category as Le Creuset when it comes to quality, so, in short, yes. STAUB's cast iron is top-tier.

I’m a sucker for the special things in life and I know collaborations like this come around once in a blue moon. To have innovative metalworkers collaborating with a French heritage brand is really something special. I’ll be gifting a little something to my kitchen (and it won’t just be the tea towel).
