- Is this Dutch oven worth it over Le Creuset or Staub?
- It covers the same cooking jobs for far less outlay. You give up brand heritage, a lifetime warranty and the most durable enamel finish.
- What size is it, 5 or 6 quarts?
- The listing name says 5QT and the specs say 6-quart. Confirm the capacity with the seller before ordering, since it changes servings and browning area.
- Can it go in the oven and on induction?
- Yes. It is rated to 500°F and works on induction, gas, electric and glass-top ranges.
- Does it need seasoning?
- No. The enamel coating is ready to use and does not require seasoning like bare cast iron.
- What comes in the box?
- The Dutch oven with its lid and a pair of heat-resistant cotton potholders.
- Can I put it in the dishwasher?
- Hand wash it. Dishwasher detergent and long soaking dull and can damage enamel over time.
- Where is the Umite Chef 5QT Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Lid cheapest?
- At Amazon, for $39.99, as of our latest check.
