  • Perfect Crust, Every Time

    A Dutch oven traps steam as your loaf bakes, creating that golden, blistered crust and soft interior you just can’t achieve with a regular oven tray.

  • Consistent Heat = Consistent Results

    Thick cast iron walls hold and distribute heat evenly, so every bake rises beautifully and bakes through. No hot spots, no guesswork.

  • Built to Last a Lifetime

    Our heavy-duty cast iron holds heat evenly for consistent results - loaf after loaf - and looks beautiful on your bench while it’s at it.

Cast Iron Dutch Oven Care Instructions

Your Cast Iron Dutch Oven will need periodic maintenance to keep looking new.

Here's the process for the first wash and prep and whenever it looks like your Cast Iron Dutch Oven needs it:

Wash: Use dish soap and rinse well.

Dry: Thoroughly dry with a tea towel. No drip drying.

Warm: Place on low heat until completely dry. 160°C in the oven for 10mins will do the trick.

Oil: Apply a neutral oil with a dry cloth and place in the oven at 200°C for half an hour, then let cool. 

Done: After cooling in the oven it's ready to be stored away, patiently waiting for it's next use.

Enamel-Coated Dutch Oven Care Instructions

Before First Use:

  • Wash your Dutch oven with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
  • Dry completely before use.

Cooking Tips:

  • Use low to medium heat for best results; enamel retains heat well, so high heat isn’t necessary.
  • Avoid using metal utensils to prevent scratching the enamel; wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils are ideal.
  • Allow the Dutch oven to heat gradually; sudden temperature changes can cause thermal shock.

Cleaning:

  • Let your Dutch oven cool completely before washing.
  • Hand wash with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge or cloth.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool as they can damage the enamel coating.
  • For stubborn residues, soak in warm water before gently scrubbing.

Storage:

  • Ensure the Dutch oven is completely dry before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
  • Store with the lid slightly ajar or place a paper towel between lid and base to allow airflow.

Additional Tips:

  • Enamel may chip if dropped or banged against hard surfaces, so handle with care.
  • Do not use in the microwave.
  • Oven safe up to 260°C

Dutch Oven

The narrow sized dutch ovens were exactly what I was looking for! Excellent cast iron and the fact that it fits well on a single level in a standard oven is perfect.
