Know before you buy
Yes, this specific cast iron bowl is commercial dishwasher safe, which is rare for cast iron. However, hand washing is still recommended if you want to maintain the seasoning over the long term.
The bowl holds 12 ounces, or 0.35 quarts. It is sized perfectly for individual servings of sides, dips, or small portions of soup.
No, it comes pre-seasoned from the factory and is ready to use right out of the box. The heat-treated finish also helps inhibit rust, making it more forgiving than traditional cast iron.
While it is designed primarily as a serving piece, it is made of durable cast iron and can handle heat. It is excellent for keeping food warm at the table, but be aware that the handle will get very hot.
No, this bowl is completely free from PFOA and PTFE. The non-stick properties come solely from the natural seasoning of the cast iron.
