Designed to do it all, this Dutch oven braises, deep fries, bakes and stews. The cast iron distributes and holds heat evenly on the stovetop or in the oven—no seasoning required—while the black enamel finish resists scratches and stains. High sides make it easy to stir, the stainless steel lid seals in heat and moisture, and the extra-wide handles provide a comfortable grip (even with oven mitts).
