Round Enameled Cast Iron 5.5 Qt Dutch Oven
The original slow cooker. Heirloom-quality French cast iron that turns tough cuts into fall-apart braises, in five kitchen-brightening colors.
The details
The world's finest enameled cast iron comes from Northeast France, where craftsmen have been pouring professional-grade cast iron since the early 1920s, and that is exactly where this Dutch oven is made. Made In spent generations' worth of expertise perfecting the ratio of cast iron body to enamel cooking surface, and the result is a 5.5-quart pot built to be handed down.
Exceptional heat retention and circulation are what make a Dutch oven work, holding a low, even simmer for hours so short ribs, pot roast, and Sunday sauce develop real depth. The light-colored cooking surface lets you watch fond develop (that is where the flavor lives), and the smooth enamel wipes clean without any seasoning to maintain. The proprietary Cloud Cover Lid is dimpled with pea-sized bumps that catch steam and rain moisture back onto your food.
