Know before you buy
The enameled cast iron surface does not require seasoning like raw cast iron. While it is not a non-stick coating in the traditional sense, the smooth enamel finish is naturally resistant to sticking when used with proper cooking fats.
Yes, the enameled cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic glass cooktops.
This Dutch oven is oven-safe up to 500°F, allowing you to transition from searing on the stovetop to roasting or baking in the oven without issue.
Yes, the starter set is designed for longevity and includes a specialized cleaner, a scrub cloth, and pan scrapers to help you maintain the enamel without scratching or damaging the surface.
Yes, the stainless steel knob is designed to withstand high oven temperatures up to 500°F, so you do not need to remove it or swap it out for a different handle when baking.
Yes, you can safely store the pot in the refrigerator. However, avoid moving it directly from a hot stovetop into a cold fridge, as the rapid temperature change can cause thermal shock to the enamel.
