Know before you buy
A rondeau features a wider, shallower profile compared to the deep, narrow shape of a standard Dutch oven. This design provides more surface area for searing meats and reducing liquids, making it particularly effective for braising and shallow frying.
Yes, the 5-ply stainless steel construction is fully compatible with all cooktop surfaces, including induction, gas, and electric ranges.
Yes, the entire rondeau, including the lid, is oven-safe up to 800°F. This allows you to transition from stovetop searing to high-heat oven roasting without needing to swap cookware.
The rondeau is engineered with a 3.0mm thickness and 5-ply construction, which provides the structural integrity needed to resist warping, even when exposed to high heat or frequent temperature changes.
Yes, the unit is dishwasher safe. However, for the best longevity and to maintain the polished finish of the stainless steel, hand washing is generally recommended.
The dual-curved helper handles are designed for a secure, ergonomic grip. While they make lifting the 5.2 lb pan much easier, we recommend using oven mitts, as the stainless steel handles will get hot during stovetop or oven use.
