Know before you buy
No, the interior is finished with a durable black-matte enamel that does not require seasoning. It is ready to use straight out of the box.
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric ranges.
The lid features a specialized design that catches condensation during the cooking process and redirects it back onto the food. This creates a continuous, rain-forest-like effect that keeps your braises and roasts moist and flavorful.
Yes, this French oven is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is generally recommended to preserve the exterior finish and appearance over the long term.
This piece is oven-safe up to 500°F, making it suitable for high-heat roasting, baking, and finishing dishes under the broiler.
