Ideal for traditional slow simmering of hearty stews, braising roasts, baking bread, and more, this cookware boasts cast iron construction, ensuring superior heat retention and even distribution. Its durable porcelain-enameled cast iron finishes are not only striking but also easy to clean and built to last. The cast stainless steel knob is extremely durable and oven-safe for your convenience. Plus, the self-basting condensation ridges on the lid uniformly collect and direct vapors onto your food, enhancing flavor. This versatile cookware is compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic glass cooktops and can be used in the oven up to 450°F / 232°C. Please note that it should be hand-washed for maintenance.
