6 Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven - Dual Handles - Oven Safe - Island Spice Red

This 6-Quart enamel Dutch oven is perfect for cooking, marinating, refrigeration, and freezing. The color porcelain enamel on cast iron is suitable for use on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. However, it is not recommended for outdoor grills or over open flames, nor should it be used in microwaves. The Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware is cast from molten iron in individual sand molds, and the porcelain surface eliminates the need to season the cast iron. With superior heat distribution and retention, this cast iron vessel evenly heats the bottom, sidewalls, and lid, while the tightly fitting lid seals in moisture and reduces the energy needed for cooking. The two layers of hard, glossy porcelain enamel are chip-resistant and easy to clean, and the stainless steel lid knob can withstand temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The black rim on the pot is matte porcelain, not exposed cast iron, making the hygienic porcelain enamel non-reactive with food. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to maintain the cookware's appearance. This Dutch oven is made in China, and it is the go-to choice for those seeking a flawless combination of form and function in their kitchen. It is an enameled cast iron classic that is ideal for preparing and serving memorable meals, whether you're broiling, braising, baking, or roasting in the oven up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Porcelain enamel on cast iron is created by bonding glass to the cast iron at high temperatures, ensuring heat tolerance and resistance to water and other substances. The smooth interior finish promotes easy cooking and cleaning, with minimal sticking and resistance to stains. Hand washing with warm soapy water and a nylon scrub brush is recommended for best results, although the enamel is dishwasher safe. The excellent heat distribution and retention of the cast iron vessel evenly heat throughout the bottom and sidewalls, while the tightly fitting lid seals in moisture for delicious pot roasts, stews, or large batches of beans. The Lodge family, who founded the company in 1896 and still own it today, is committed to environmental responsibility and community development. Their products are made with non-toxic, PFOA-free, and PTFE-free materials, ensuring a safe and healthy cooking experience.
