Know before you buy
Yes, the lid is designed as a functional skillet. You can use it separately on your stovetop or grill for searing, frying, or sautéing while the Dutch oven base is in use.
Yes, it comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so it is ready for immediate use. However, continuing to season it periodically will help maintain and improve its non-stick properties over time.
This Dutch oven is oven-safe up to 500°F. Please note that while the pot is safe at this temperature, you should remove the silicone handle sleeves before placing the cookware in the oven.
The raised ribs on the interior of the lid help circulate moisture back into the pot, which keeps meats juicier during slow cooking. They also help drain excess grease away from food when you are using the lid as a skillet.
Yes, cast iron is highly durable and can withstand the use of metal utensils. Unlike non-stick coated pans, you do not need to worry about scratching or damaging the surface.
Yes, the flat-bottomed cast iron construction is compatible with gas, electric, and induction stovetops. It is also suitable for use on grills and over campfires.
