Know before you buy
Enameled cast iron provides exceptional heat retention and uniform distribution, which prevents hot spots and ensures your food cooks evenly. It also eliminates the need for seasoning, making the pot easier to maintain than traditional raw cast iron.
The 22 cm round casserole is generally ideal for preparing meals for 2 to 3 people. It is a versatile size that works well for side dishes, rice, or smaller stews.
Yes, the enameled cast iron base is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic. It is also safe for use in the oven.
While the stainless steel knob is designed for durability and oven safety, it will become hot when used on the stovetop or in the oven. We recommend using oven mitts or a kitchen towel when handling the lid.
While the pot is durable, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge to preserve the enamel finish. Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive scouring pads, which can scratch or dull the surface over time.
