About this item

• Your essential Dutch oven: A perfect combination of style and functionality that never stops.

Use it to broil, braise, bake, or roast your favorite dishes, with the oven capable of reaching temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Understanding porcelain enamel on cast iron: It refers to the process of bonding glass to cast iron at high temperatures. A layer of glass, known as frit, is applied to the cast iron vessel and then baked at temperatures ranging from 1200 to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. The glass frit melts and merges with the cast iron, creating a strong bond. Porcelain enamel on cast iron is resistant to heat and impervious to water and other substances.
• Effortless cooking and cleaning: The porcelain enameled interior boasts a smooth finish that prevents food from sticking, enhances caramelization, and resists stains. While enameled cast iron is dishwasher safe, it is recommended to hand wash it with warm soapy water and a nylon scrub brush to maintain its pristine condition.
• Superior heat retention: The cast iron vessel excels at evenly distributing and retaining heat, ensuring consistent heating across both the bottom and sidewalls. The well-fitting lid seals in moisture, ideal for succulent pot roast, stews, or large batches of beans. Furthermore, our superior heat retention reduces the energy required for cooking.
