Like traditional cast iron cookware, porcelain enameled cookware starts out being cast in the traditional method. However, after this process, a glass particulate called "frit" is applied and the cookware is baked in ovens between 1200 and 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. This process transforms the frit into a smooth porcelain surface that is bonded to the iron. There is no exposed cast iron on the finished product, the black cooking surface and rims are transformed into matte porcelain. This Dutch oven features a vibrant island spice red exterior and a glossy white interior.
Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware's original appearance.
FDA approved.

Do not use in the microwave, on outdoor grills, or over campfires. While the porcelain finish is hard, it can be chipped if banged or dropped. Interior protection must be used to prevent chipping if cookware is stacked. For added longevity, pre-heat and cool your cookware gradually.
