Know before you buy
Yes, The Dutchess is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric ranges.
No, The Dutchess is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the integrity of the enamel finish.
The Dutchess is not broiler safe. While it is oven-safe for standard roasting and braising, you should avoid exposing it to the direct, high-intensity heat of a broiler.
The oval shape is specifically designed to accommodate long or large items, such as a whole chicken or a large roast, which might not fit comfortably in a standard round pot.
Like all enameled cast iron, the interior may show signs of use or minor staining over time, especially with highly acidic or pigmented ingredients. This is normal and does not affect the performance of the pot.
No, The Dutchess is not freezer safe. Rapid temperature changes can damage the enameled coating, so it is best to transfer leftovers to a separate container for freezer storage.
