Know before you buy
No, the Chantal Dutch oven comes with a high-quality enamel coating, so it is ready to use straight out of the box. You do not need to season the interior or exterior.
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction, as well as gas, electric, and halogen stovetops.
Yes, the entire unit, including the lid and ergonomic knob, is oven-safe. While it is designed for standard baking and braising temperatures, we recommend avoiding extreme thermal shock by not exceeding 500°F.
A 7-quart capacity is ideal for family-sized meals, comfortably serving about four to six people depending on the dish, such as stews, roasts, or large batches of soup.
The Dutch oven features a top-grade, durable enamel finish designed to resist staining and chipping. However, to maintain the surface, we recommend using silicone or wooden utensils rather than metal ones.
While the enamel is durable, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish and longevity of the cookware.
