The advantage of cast iron

Cast iron has the advantage of being good at conducting heat. But unfortunately, it is not good at conducting an electromagnetic field, like an induction cooktop. This means that most dutch ovens are not suitable for use on induction cooktops.

We deliberately emphasize that ‘most’ dutch ovens are not suitable for induction. Because, dutch ovens with an enameled bottom can be used on induction cooktops.
