Each piece from our extensive range of high-quality enameled cast iron cookware is designed for ease and versatility of use, fitting in with all styles of cooking, all types of cooking appliances and any style of kitchen or dining decor. Please read this section before using your cookware for the first time. The information it contains will help you achieve the best possible cooking results.
Enameled cast iron is a remarkable and robust material that performs well with modern requirements for food preparation and cooking. Whether you choose to stir-fry, slow-cook a casserole, sear a steak or bake a cake, there is a shape that is suitable. Cast iron performs well for either slow cooking or high-temperature searing.
Cast iron can be used reliably on any heat source, including induction, and with any oven or grill. It has the ability to retain heat efficiently, which allows for use of lower heat settings in stovetop and oven cooking. On the table, a hot covered dish will keep food hot for second servings.
Cast iron can also be used to keep foods cold. A chilled dish becomes an ideal cold food server on a hot summer day. It can also be placed in the freezer for food storage or advanced food preparation
High heat temperatures should only be used for boiling water for vegetables or pasta, or for reducing the consistency of stocks or sauces. High heats should never be used to preheat a pan before lowering the heat for cooking. Cast iron retains heat so efficiently that overheating will cause food to burn or stick.
The vitreous enamel surface is impermeable and therefore ideal for raw or cooked food storage, and for marinating with acidic ingredients such as wine.

I am a serious cook, with many years experience and still smile every time I take this out to prepare a dish. It has smooth even heating, superb heat transference and all the dishes I've made in it turned out incredibly well. I wish I had owned this many years ago! The 3 1/2 Quart Oval is easy to lift either off the stove or to place in and out of the oven. I chose the red and the finish is beautiful. The oval shape makes it easier to place meats in and is perfect for a whole chicken.Cleaning it is simple and it breezes right through the dishwasher coming out like brand new.
One of those reviews I wish I could give it even more than five stars!

So far I’ve only used this once to make pasta sauce and it cooked nicely and I was able to clean it without any hassle. I personally didn’t like the color flame at first but after having it in the kitchen I’m happy to say that it’s made cooking an enjoyable experience. The color flame is so rich and vibrant. Overall pleased with this purchase!
I recommend at least one oval Dutch oven to any home chef.
