This Dutch Oven is highly regarded as a premium kitchen investment, primarily due to its exceptional cooking performance and superior nonstick quality.

Know before you buy
Yes, the STRATANIUM+ coating is designed to be exceptionally durable and is metal-utensil safe. However, using silicone or wooden tools will help extend the lifespan of the nonstick surface over time.
Yes, the five-layer clad construction includes a magnetic stainless steel exterior that makes it fully compatible with all induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric ranges.
At 8.0 lbs, this pot is significantly lighter than a standard enameled cast iron Dutch oven of the same capacity. This makes it much easier to maneuver when moving from the stovetop to the oven or lifting it to serve.
Yes, the entire unit, including the lid, is oven-safe up to 500°F, allowing you to easily transition from searing on the stovetop to slow-roasting or braising in the oven.
While the pot is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the integrity of the nonstick coating for as long as possible. The surface is naturally easy to clean, so a soft sponge is usually all you need.
The micro-textured interior is designed to improve food release and searing capabilities. It creates a slight separation between the food and the base of the pan, which helps prevent sticking and promotes even browning.
