This 5-quart cast iron Dutch oven with a detachable skillet lid suits home cooks who want one pot for braising, stewing, baking bread, and searing. It is pre-seasoned with vegetable oil and has no synthetic coatings, and the lid detaches to work as a 10-inch skillet. The thick cast iron holds heat steadily on induction, glass, and gas stovetops and is oven safe.

About This

• Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron: Seasoned with vegetable oil and free of synthetic coatings, with no PFAS, PFOA, or PTFE. Not enamel-coated, so it handles high heat.
• Raised Rib Lid: Ribs on the skillet lid collect rising steam and let oil drain away from food during frying, which helps reduce oil absorption.
• 2-in-1 Pot and Skillet: Use the 5 quart pot for stews, braises, and bread, or remove the lid to sear, fry, or bake a 10-inch pizza in skillet mode.
• Heat Retention: Thick cast iron stores heat and distributes it evenly for searing and simmering. Works on induction, glass, and gas stovetops, in the oven, and on grills.
• Heat-Resistant Sleeves: Two removable silicone sleeves rated to 482°F fit all handles and protect your hands from hot surfaces and steam.
• Care Instructions: Hand wash in warm water without abrasive scrubbers, dry on the stovetop over medium heat, then rub in a single drop of oil.
