Know before you buy
Yes, the enameled cast iron base is fully compatible with all cooktop types, including induction, gas, and electric.
The matte interior is not a chemical non-stick coating, but rather a textured enamel finish designed to develop a natural patina over time, which improves its non-stick properties with regular use.
This roasting dish is oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C), making it suitable for high-heat roasting, searing, and broiling.
While the dish is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the quality and longevity of the enamel finish.
With a 1.5-quart capacity and a 1.75-inch depth, this dish is best suited for side dishes, gratins, or smaller portions for two to three people rather than large family-sized roasts.
Yes, the dish features tall, ergonomic handles specifically designed to provide a secure grip, even when you are wearing thick oven mitts.
