Know before you buy
The 2.4L capacity is best suited for 2 to 3 people. It is an ideal size for smaller households, side dishes, or individual portions of stews and soups.
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic. It also performs exceptionally well in the oven.
No, the enamel coating means the pot does not need to be seasoned like raw cast iron. It is ready to use straight out of the box and is naturally resistant to sticking.
While the enameled surface is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish and luster of the enamel over time.
Yes, because the entire piece is made of cast iron, the handles will become hot during use. Always use oven mitts or heat-resistant pads when handling the pot on the stove or removing it from the oven.
