Know before you buy
No, this specific model is designed exclusively for oven use. It is not compatible with stovetop burners or induction cooktops.
While the enameled finish is durable, we recommend hand washing this dish to maintain its quality over time. It is not dishwasher safe.
This size is perfect for smaller portions, such as individual gratins, side dishes, or baked desserts for two. Its compact dimensions make it a great choice for recipes that don't require a full-sized casserole dish.
Yes, the fitted lid is designed to seal in heat and moisture, which is excellent for braising or keeping dishes tender while they bake. It also helps keep food warm when transitioning from the oven to the table.
No, this dish is not freezer safe. Rapid temperature changes can potentially damage the enameled cast iron, so it should be kept at room temperature or used only for oven-to-table cooking.
