Know before you buy
The spikes are designed to catch rising steam and condense it back into liquid, which then drips evenly over your food. This self-basting process keeps your meats and vegetables moist and flavorful throughout the cooking process.
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic glass.
While the pot is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the luster of the enamel finish over time.
The cast iron body is oven safe up to 900°F. However, please note that the lid is safe up to 500°F, so be mindful of the temperature if you are cooking with the lid on.
No, the interior is coated with a durable matte enamel. It does not require seasoning and provides a superior surface for browning and searing ingredients.
The 9-quart capacity is quite large, making it ideal for batch cooking, large family meals, or entertaining. If you typically cook for only one or two people, you may find this size more substantial than necessary.
