Know before you buy
The oval shape provides 20% more surface area, making it ideal for roasting whole chickens or braising long cuts of meat like brisket or lamb shanks that might not fit comfortably in a round pot.
No, the interior is finished with a textured black matte enamel that does not require seasoning. It is designed to develop a natural patina over time, which actually improves browning and searing performance.
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric ranges.
While the pot is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish and longevity of the enamel coating over time.
This piece is oven safe up to 500°F, allowing you to transition seamlessly from searing on the stovetop to finishing dishes in a hot oven.
This model weighs approximately 13.95 lbs. Because of its size and cast iron construction, it is a substantial piece of cookware, so ensure you have a sturdy place to store it.
