Key Features

The assortment is built around a 5.5 qt. Signature Round Dutch Oven, a 6.75 qt. Signature Oval Dutch Oven, a 3.5 qt. Signature Braiser, a 1.75 qt. Signature Saucepan and a 10.25 in. Signature Skillet. With complementary vessels for everyday cooking and entertaining, the set suits building a collection, expanding one or giving a wedding, shower or housewarming gift.

Enameled Cast Iron Without the Seasoning Step

Cast iron's ability to distribute and retain heat makes it a natural fit for slow braising and roasting. The enamel finish removes the seasoning step, so you can start cooking after the initial wash. Use low to medium heat and let the cookware heat gradually.

Pale Interiors and Black Satin Enamel

The interior finishes serve different purposes: smooth, pale enamel helps you follow food as it cooks, while black satin enamel develops a cooking patina with use. Choose silicone or wood utensils rather than sharp metal tools, and protect the cooking surfaces when stacking.

Moisture-Retaining Lids and Ergonomic Handling

During covered cooking, snug-fitting lids keep steam and moisture circulating inside the vessel. Ergonomic handles and knobs aid lifting as you move cookware between cooking and entertaining tasks. Handles and knobs become hot, so use dry, heat-resistant hand protection.

Induction Compatible and Oven-Safe to 500 Degrees F

Cook on ceramic, electric, gas or induction surfaces, then use the oven for roasting or slow braising within the 500 degrees F limit. Broiler use is also supported; leave at least 2 in. of clearance. On glass cooktops, lift cookware into place instead of sliding it.

Enamel Care and Cleaning

Let cookware cool before washing, then use nonabrasive tools, rinse and dry completely. Hand washing helps preserve the enamel's appearance; dishwasher use is subject to component restrictions.¹ Never store cookware damp.

Footnotes:

¹ Dishwasher exceptions include wooden parts, enamel-on-steel lids, colored stainless knobs and decals. Repeated dishwashing may dull enamel.

Safety: Wash before first use. Handles and knobs become hot; use dry, heat-resistant hand protection and avoid steam burns. Never leave cooking unattended. Stop using cookware if the interior enamel chips.

Heat and handling: Do not use in a microwave or over unregulated outdoor heat. Match the burner to the cookware base and keep gas flames below the sidewalls. Use low to medium heat and heat and cool gradually. Place cookware on an oven rack, never the oven floor. Keep at least 2 in. of clearance below the broiler. Lift cookware on glass cooktops; never slide it.

Surface care: Prefer silicone or wood utensils; avoid sharp metal tools and impacts. Cool before washing, use nonabrasive cleaning tools, rinse and dry completely. Never store damp; protect stacked surfaces.
