- How does it compare with an enameled cast iron Dutch oven?
- It is lighter and releases food more easily, but cast iron holds heat longer and tolerates high-heat searing and metal utensils that this non-stick surface does not.
- Can I use metal utensils in it?
- No. The non-stick surface scratches, so use silicone, wood or plastic tools and avoid abrasive scrubbers.
- Can it go in the oven?
- The stainless body and lid are oven-safe, but keep oven heat moderate because the non-stick coating is not built for very high temperatures.
- Does it work on induction?
- Yes. The three-ply stainless steel base is magnetic and heats on induction, gas, electric and ceramic cooktops.
- Is 6 quarts enough for a family?
- Yes. Six quarts covers stews, chili, soup and one-pot pasta for four to six people, with room for braising a whole chicken.
- What is in the box?
- The 6-quart Dutch oven and its matching lid.
- Where is the Brentwood 6 Quart 3-Ply Hybrid Non-Stick Stainless Steel Dutch Oven cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $52.28, as of our latest check.
