- Is the 8.5-quart oval big enough for a whole turkey?
- It fits chickens up to about 5 lbs and works for small turkeys or turkey crowns, but a large whole turkey will not fit. For big birds, size up or use a roasting pan.
- Does it work on induction?
- Yes. The cast-iron base is induction ready and works on gas, electric, glass, ceramic, induction and halogen.
- Do I need to season it?
- No. The interior is enameled, so it needs no seasoning. Wash it, dry it and it is ready to use.
- Can it go in the dishwasher?
- It is rated dishwasher safe, but Staub and most owners recommend hand washing to protect the enamel finish.
- How does it compare with a round Dutch oven?
- The oval shape fits whole chickens, long cuts and oval loaves better than a round pot. Round pots are easier to stir in and take less cupboard space.
- What is in the box?
- The Dutch oven and its matching lid. No other accessories are included.
