Cream White 26cm 4.75L Dutch Oven for Braising 🍲

This enameled cast iron casserole makes slow cooking, bread baking and roasting straightforward for everyday family meals. The 26cm, 4.75L Dutch oven retains heat well and the tight-fitting lid helps keep stews and braises moist while the creamy finish suits both hob-to-table presentation and oven use.

Key Points

The pot combines classic cast iron heat retention with a smooth, food-grade enamel surface that resists staining and reduces sticking for easier cleaning. The lid features raised internal nodules that encourage even condensation, helping liquids return to the food and maintaining tenderness during long cooks. There are two wide stainless steel handles for a secure grip even when wearing oven gloves, and a pair of thick cotton potholders is included for extra protection from steam and hot surfaces. 🍲

This cookware is versatile across heat sources and works on gas, electric, ceramic and induction hobs. It is rated safe for oven use up to 500°F, which covers roasting whole chickens and baking crusty artisan loaves. Consider that cast iron is heavy by nature, and this 5 quart capacity is best for family portions rather than single-serve dishes.

Usage Recommendations

For searing and browning, preheat the casserole on medium heat and add a small amount of oil. For slow braises and stews, brown ingredients first then add liquid and place the tight lid on to maintain moisture. When baking bread, place the dough inside the preheated pot and bake covered initially to trap steam, then remove the lid near the end to develop a crisp crust. 🍞

Cleaning is simpler than with bare cast iron. Allow the pot to cool slightly before washing with warm water and a soft sponge, avoiding abrasive pads that could dull the enamel. Do not use aggressive chemical cleaners. For stuck-on residue, soak briefly in warm water and clean gently. Note that sudden temperature shocks can risk enamel damage, so avoid moving the hot pot directly from hob to cold water.

Positive Aspects

The combination of natural heat retention and the non-stick enamel finish makes this casserole practical for a wide range of techniques from frying to long slow cooking. The included cotton potholders add convenience when handling the hot lid and sides. The lid’s design and the pot’s weight help create an airtight lid effect that supports tender, juicy results according to the manufacturer. 🍽️
