The enameled cast iron signature serving pan has a generous depth and a wide base. This makes it ideal for frying, braising, simmering sauces, and more. It combines the benefits of a Dutch oven with those of a frying pan and features slightly curved sides that allow for effortless stirring. The two generously sized handles provide a secure grip. Full of flavor: The cast iron retains heat very well, perfect for even cooking and frying. Your delicious creations also stay warm on the table longer. Not too hot: Cook with a consistent low to medium heat to preserve your cast iron and achieve tasty results. Ages gracefully: The enameled interior develops a natural patina over time, which behaves similarly to a non-stick surface. The surface also has excellent food release properties. Clean the product only with water to allow a patina to develop.
