Know before you buy
Yes, this dish is compatible with both gas and electric stovetops. It is an excellent choice for searing or browning ingredients on the stove before transferring the entire dish into the oven to finish cooking.
No, this dish features a durable matte black enamel coating, so it does not require any pre-seasoning. It is ready to use straight out of the box.
No, the wooden base is intended strictly for serving purposes. You should only place the cast iron dish in the oven and use the wooden tray once the dish has been removed and is ready to be presented at the table.
This dish is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the quality of the enamel, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and drying it thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
No, this dish is not freezer safe. Rapid temperature changes can damage the enamel coating, so it should only be used for cooking and serving.
