- Is 2.1 quarts big enough for a family?
- It suits one or two people. It holds a small whole chicken or a pot of stew for two, but a family of four will want 5 quarts or more.
- Does it work on induction?
- The listed cooktops are gas, electric coil and smooth glass. Induction is not listed, so check the base before buying if you cook on induction.
- Can I put it in the dishwasher?
- No. The enamel is hand wash only. Wash with warm water and a soft sponge to protect the finish.
- Do I need to season it?
- No. The enamel coating means no seasoning is needed, unlike bare cast iron.
- Can I use metal utensils in it?
- Better to use wood, silicone or plastic. Metal utensils can scratch or chip the enamel over time.
- What is the lid knob made of?
- The knob is cast iron, so it gets hot in the oven. Use a mitt when lifting the lid.
