7.5 Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven - Oven and Stovetop Safe - Oyster White - For Cooking and Serving

Experience the versatility of this 7.5 Quart enamel Dutch oven, ideal for cooking, marinating, refrigeration, and freezing. The vibrant color porcelain enamel coating on cast iron enables its use on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven, but it is not suitable for outdoor grilling or exposure to open flames, nor for microwaving. Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware is meticulously crafted by casting molten iron into individual sand molds. The porcelain exterior eliminates the need for seasoning the cast iron, offering superior heat distribution and retention that evenly heats the bottom, sidewalls, and lid, sealing in moisture. The remarkable heat retention even reduces cooking energy consumption. The double layer of durable, glossy porcelain enamel is resistant to chipping and effortlessly cleaned. The stainless steel lid knob is oven safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The matte porcelain black rim on the pot distinguishes it from exposed cast iron and makes the hygienic porcelain enamel non-reactive with food. While it is dishwasher safe, handwashing with warm soapy water is recommended to maintain the cookware's pristine appearance. This Dutch oven is your go-to kitchen essential - both beautiful and functional. The Lodge Dutch Oven is a timeless enameled cast iron classic that enchants your kitchen while excelling in preparing and presenting unforgettable meals. From broiling, braising, baking, to roasting, you can easily cook your favorite dishes in the oven up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The porcelain enamel on cast iron is created by bonding glass to cast iron at high temperatures. A glass particulate, known as frit, is applied to the cast iron vessel and then baked at temperatures between 1200 and 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. The frit glass melts and fuses to the cast iron, forming a durable bond. This process results in a heat-tolerant and impermeable surface that is easy to cook on and effortless to clean. The smooth porcelain enameled interior minimizes sticking, promotes caramelization, and resists staining. While dishwasher safe, it is recommended to hand wash with warm soapy water and a nylon scrub brush to preserve the Dutch Oven's pristine condition. Experience unparalleled heat retention with this Dutch oven - the cast iron vessel boasts exceptional heat distribution and retention, ensuring even heating across both the bottom and sidewalls. The lid seals in moisture, perfect for preparing succulent pot roasts, stews, or large batches of beans. Its outstanding heat retention also reduces the energy required for cooking your favorite dishes. Lodge is not just a business; it's a family legacy.
