Know before you buy
Yes, the cast iron core makes this pot fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic.
The off-white enamel is non-reactive and smooth, which helps prevent food from sticking. While it is durable, we recommend using wooden or silicone utensils to avoid scratching the surface and soaking it to remove stubborn stains.
Yes, this piece is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with warm, soapy water is generally recommended to maintain the luster of the enamel finish over time.
The pot weighs 16 pounds, which is standard for a 6-quart cast iron piece. The loop handles are designed for a secure grip, but because of the weight, always use two oven mitts when moving it from the oven.
Absolutely. This Dutch oven is oven-safe up to 500°F, making it ideal for high-heat tasks like roasting, broiling, or baking crusty sourdough bread.
