A 6-quart enameled cast iron Dutch oven with side handles, made for braises, stews, soups, bread and one-pot meals. Cast iron spreads and holds heat evenly, and the porcelain enamel means no seasoning and no reaction with acidic tomato or wine sauces. It works on gas, electric, induction and ceramic glass cooktops and in the oven up to 450°F. Against bare cast iron it is easier to live with; against premium French brands it gives up some fit and finish and needs hand washing.

This 6-quart Dutch oven is made from cast iron coated in porcelain enamel. Cast iron distributes and retains heat well, so food heats evenly as it cooks. The enamel finish is chip-resistant.
It has a handle on each side and a stainless steel knob on the lid, plus a loop handle for control. It works on gas, electric, induction and ceramic glass stovetops, and in the oven. It withstands heat up to 450°F (232°C).
The pot suits casseroles, soups, sauces and stews, and it holds large batches. Hand wash it, and avoid metal utensils so the enamel does not scratch.
