This enameled cast iron Dutch oven is the pot you reach for when something needs time: a beef stew, a pot of beans, a braise or a loaf of bread. At 22 cm and 3.2 L it is sized for two to four people, and the thick cast iron body soaks up heat and releases it slowly and evenly, so food simmers gently instead of catching. The enamel coats both the inside and the outside, so there is no seasoning to maintain, and the heavy cast iron lid sits snugly to keep moisture in the pot. It works on gas and induction and moves straight into the oven.
