Chasseur Enamel Cast-Iron 8 Qt. Oval Dutch Oven 13 3/4" x 10 1/2" x 4 3/4"D

    Chasseur cookware is manufactured in France and is made of superior quality enameled cast-iron material. It comes from the very heart of the gastronomic world.

    Enamel cast iron products have stood the test of time. The fusion of enamel, or melted glass powder, with the cast-iron creates a strong seal that prevents corrosion. The cast-iron line is ideal for slow braising and simmering due to its ability to retain and distribute heat evenly. Cast-iron cookware is very fuel-efficient because it retains heat well. When cooking you can reduce the heat and even turn it off for a few minutes and it will continue to cook.

    Chasseur cookware is enameled twice. First there is a black enamel, which you can see on the rims or base. It seals all the edges, protects against corrosion and is a primer for the color. The second layer adds durability and color so that it keeps its appearance and is easy to clean.

    The primary use of the Dutch oven is to slowly braise or simmer. The ability of the Dutch oven to evenly distribute heat makes it perfect for tenderizing any  cut of meat for stews or heavy cassoulets. These ovens are easy to clean, durable and compatible with standard stovetops, induction ranges, and conventional ovens. Each oven comes with a matching lid to keep in heat and moisture. All lid knobs are heat resistant up to 400°F.

    After usage, all items must be cleaned with hot water and soap using a brush or a pad. Allow burned food to soak in hot water for a while to facilitate easy removal.  Cast-iron pans may break or chip if mishandled. All items without wooden handles are dishwasher safe.

    Being strong, reliable, and made to high standards, Chasseur cookware will last a lifetime if looked after properly. To emphasize this quality, each item comes with a 10-year warranty.
