Smithey’s new 7.25 quart Dutch Oven is a beautiful and functional kitchen work horse. The wide base design provides extra surface area for searing and browning meats or vegetables. Its ability to maintain even, consistent heat makes it perfect for slow cooking, frying, roasting, braising, and baking. Smithey’s signature polished interior surface is naturally non-stick and easy-to-clean. The surface finish will never crack or chip but will only get better with use. The multi-use dome lid features channels that will retain and recirculate moisture and also works as a custom-fit lid for the No. 12 Traditional Cast Iron Skillet. It is suitable for use on gas, electric, and induction cooktops. Made in the US.
