YOUR GO-TO DUTCH OVEN: a flawless combination of form and function that doesn't stop.

Roast, stew, bake or fry your favorite dishes in the oven up to 500 F. What is porcelain enamel on cast iron? It is glass that bonds to the cast iron at high temperatures. A particle of glass, called frit, is applied to the cast iron vessel and then baked at temperatures between 1200 and 760.0 °C. The glass frit melts and fuses with the cast iron and forms a bond. Porcelain enamel on cast iron is heat tolerant and resistant to water and other consumables. EASY TO COOK AND CLEAN The porcelain enameled interior has a smooth surface that minimizes sticking, promotes caramelization and resists stains. Although enamelled cast iron is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water and a nylon scrubbing brush is recommended to keep your Dutch oven in tip shape! Heat Retention The cast iron vessel has excellent heat distribution and retention, which evenly heats both the bottom and side walls. The tight-fitting lid locks in moisture for delicious braises, stews or a large amount of beans. Our heat retention also reduces energy requirements when cooking.
