Know before you buy
Yes, the enameled cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.
The interior is highly durable and resistant to staining and cracking. However, to maintain the finish, we recommend using silicone, wood, or heat-resistant plastic utensils rather than metal ones.
This size is ideal for individual portions, side dishes for two, or small desserts like fruit crumbles. It is compact, so it is best suited for recipes that do not require a large surface area.
Yes, it is dishwasher safe. While the enamel is durable, hand washing with warm, soapy water is often recommended to preserve the exterior shine over the long term.
No, the enamel coating means this baker does not require seasoning like traditional raw cast iron. It is ready to use right out of the box.
Yes, the material is thermal shock resistant. However, it is always best practice to place hot cookware on a trivet or heat-resistant mat to protect your countertops.
