Know before you buy
No, the textured black matte enamel interior is ready to use right out of the box. It is designed to provide excellent browning without the maintenance or seasoning required by traditional raw cast iron.
Yes, the pan features a smooth enamel bottom that is fully compatible with all heat sources, including induction, gas, and electric cooktops.
While the cast iron pan is oven-safe, the tempered glass lid is generally intended for stovetop use to monitor cooking progress. We recommend checking the specific temperature limits provided in your manual before placing the lid in the oven.
Yes, this pan is dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. However, hand washing is often recommended for all enameled cast iron to help maintain the finish's luster over the long term.
The 2.9-quart size is ideal for everyday meals for two to three people. Its high, sloped sides provide enough depth for braising or sautéing vegetables without overcrowding, while the compact footprint makes it easy to store.
Yes, because the handles are made of cast iron, they will conduct heat and become hot during stovetop use. Always use oven mitts or a silicone handle cover when handling the pan while cooking.
