Dutch oven

A cast iron dutch oven is built to last for generations: solid, brilliant at retaining heat, and ideal for braising, simmering, roasting and oven dishes. On this page you will only find dutch ovens.

Why a cast iron dutch oven?

Cast iron stores heat and releases it slowly and evenly. That keeps your dish at temperature, even when you add cold meat or vegetables. With the right care a cast iron dutch oven literally lasts a lifetime, and ours is even covered by a 25-year warranty.

Which cast iron dutch oven suits you?

• 24 cm (4 litres) for 2 to 4 people, or as a smaller side next to your main pot.
• 28 cm (6.5 litres) for 4 to 8 people, stews, whole chickens or large oven bakes.
• Different colours and lines: from the classic Signature to the softer Taupe of Mind and Go Green.

Works on every hob, including induction

Our cast iron dutch ovens work on gas, ceramic, electric, halogen and induction. The magnetic base makes direct contact with the induction zone, so you lose no heat. Want to filter dutch ovens for induction specifically? Then check dutch ovens for induction.

PFAS-free by material choice

Cast iron with enamel contains no PFAS, PFOA or PTFE. No coating also means no worries about scratches or flaking, no matter how hot the pot gets.

How to care for your cast iron dutch oven

Wash by hand, dry it straight away and rub it with a thin layer of plant oil now and then. Not in the dishwasher. No cold water in a hot pot, as that causes thermal shock. Stick to these rules and the pot will get more beautiful every year.
