Know before you buy
Yes, this casserole is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic glass surfaces.
No, the enameled surface is non-reactive and does not require seasoning. It is ready to use right out of the box and prevents food from picking up metallic flavors.
The six included pot protectors are designed to be placed between the lid and the pot or between stacked cookware. They help prevent chipping and scratching of the enamel finish during storage.
This size is ideal for smaller families or couples, perfect for side dishes, stews, or smaller roasts. If you frequently cook for more than four people, you may want to consider a larger capacity.
While the stainless steel handles are durable and oven-safe, they will get hot during use. Always use oven mitts or heat-resistant pads when handling the pot on the stovetop or removing it from the oven.
