This is a 6-quart round Dutch oven made of enameled cast iron. It comes with a lid and dual handles. The pot weighs 13 lbs and is sized for families of 3 to 5 people.
The body is cast from liquid cast iron as a single piece, with no splicing. It has 3 layers of enamel coating inside and outside, fired at 1500°F for 30 minutes. The enamel is non-stick, easy to clean, and free of cadmium and lead. The interior is cream-colored, which makes it easier to see the state of the food.
The lid has 40 evenly distributed dots. They help condense water vapor and drip it back onto the food. The lid's curvature also lets vapor flow back into the pot. The pot is made for braising, simmering, baking, broiling and roasting. It resists acidic and alkaline substances, so food can be marinated in it before cooking. The handles can get very hot, so use an oven mitt or pot holder.
