Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This 7-quart oven is part of the Berndes SignoCast Classic line of cookware. Berndes SignoCast Classic cookware is manufactured using vacuum-pressure casting. High-grade aluminum alloys are melted and forced into a mold, ensuring the absence of air bubbles and resulting in a thick base, thin sides, no interior rivets, lightweight construction, and a perfectly flat bottom that never warps. The aluminum base delivers excellent heat distribution and is perfect for gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.

The cookware's interior and exterior nonstick surfaces ensure easy cleanup and the coating is guaranteed to never chip, crack, peel, blister, or come off. The nonstick surface allows the user to cook by adding little or no fat. Berndes does nonstick right--in 1975, DuPont and Berndes were the first companies to launch nonstick cookware in Europe. Users are not recommended to use metal utensils or dishwashers with SignoCast Classic cookware.

The knobs and ergonomically designed handles stay cool on the stovetop and are oven-safe to 450 degrees F.

Product Description

Enjoy the durability and superior craftsmanship of SignoCast cookware by Berndes. Made from vacuum-cast aluminum, each piece in this collection features superior shape and thickness and is guaranteed never to warp. Three-layer nonstick interior and two-layer nonstick exterior surfaces are guaranteed to never chip, crack, blister, bubble or peel and they protect foods from sticking and burning while eliminating the need for excess fats, oils, and cooking sprays. The phenolic handles allow for easy transport without the use of potholders. The 7-qt. Oven is indispensable for creating one-pot sumptuous meals like chili, braised chicken and beef stew and is large enough for families to go back for seconds, and maybe even leftovers. Excellent for slow cooking, you can crank up the heat at the beginning to make foods flavorful, crusty and brown and then lower the temperature to a simmer on the stovetop or in the oven. For self-basting, the domed-glass lid lets steam rise, condense and return to the foods. For maximum longevity, handwash-recommended. Made in Germany with a limited lifetime warranty.Berndes has been manufacturing quality products since 1921, functional and practical products that stand out from mass-produced items. With a complete range of product, popular classics, high-tech non-stick surfaces and continual innovations, Berndes leads the way and sets new standard

5.0 out of 5 stars I Wouldn't Be Without One, July 11, 2005

By

This review is from: Berndes SignoCast Classic 7-Quart oven (Kitchen)

I have had my Berndes Dutch Oven since 1995 and I wouldn't know what to do without it. I use it for everything, from making Spaghetti Sauce to home-made jam. Never have I burned any types of sauce and cleanup is a cinch. You can't forget that they honor their Lifetime warranty. All you do is send the pot back with a $10 shipping and handling fee and a new one is in the mail.

1.0 out of 5 stars Exploding lid!, January 26, 2006

This review is from: Berndes SignoCast Classic 7-Quart oven (Kitchen)

My parents got one as a Christmas present, and the first time they used it, the lid shattered in the oven afer 20 minutes. Our UK supplier, ICTC, say that Berndes don't insure the lids, only the pan. They also say it would ONLY explode if the screw in the top was overtightened, and went on to imply that this could only have happened after it left the factory. No consideration that it might have been faulty, and basically implying "they're fine, you must have broken it". Poor customer service on a potentially dangerous product.
