Know before you buy
The wider diameter provides a larger surface area, which is ideal for searing larger cuts of meat or browning ingredients without overcrowding the pan. This shape also makes it easier to stir ingredients and promotes more efficient evaporation for reducing sauces.
Yes, the enameled cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic heat sources.
Yes, the ergonomic composite knob is heat-resistant up to 500°F, allowing you to transition from the stovetop to the oven for roasting or baking bread without needing to remove the lid.
No, the interior enamel is designed to be used immediately without seasoning. It is highly durable and resistant to staining and dulling, though we recommend using silicone or wooden utensils to prevent scratching the surface.
While the Dutch oven is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the exterior finish and luster of the enamel over time.
As a cast iron piece, it is substantial and heavy, which is necessary for its superior heat retention and even cooking performance. You will want to ensure you have a sturdy surface and use two hands when moving it from the oven.
