About this item

• WHAT IS PORCELAIN ENAMEL ON CAST IRON? It is glass that becomes bonded to the cast iron at high temperatures. A particulate of glass, called frit, is applied to the cast iron vessel and then baked at temperatures between 1200 and 1400° F. The glass frit melts and fuses to the cast iron, forming a bond. Porcelain enamel on cast iron is heat tolerant and impervious to water and other consumables.
• Heat retention is excellent in the cast iron vessel, distributing and maintaining heat evenly in both bottom and sidewalls. The snug lid locks in moisture to enhance the flavors of pot roast, stews, or a big batch of beans. This quality also leads to decreased energy consumption during cooking.
• EASY TO COOK AND CLEAN: The porcelain enameled interior has a smooth finish that minimizes sticking, promotes caramelization and resists staining. Although enameled cast iron is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water and a nylon scrub brush is recommended to keep your Casserole in tip top shape.
• YOUR GO-TO COVERED CASSEROLE: A flawless pairing of form and function that doesn't quit. The Lodge Covered Oval Casserole not only makes your kitchen look good but is an enameled cast iron classic great for preparing and serving memorable meals. Broil, braise, bake or roast your favorite meals in the oven up to 500 Degree F.
