Providing tasty food for every occasion, Lava's cast-iron cookware sets itself apart from the competition by boasting 3 coats of hard-as-nails porcelain. Lava's cast-iron pots and pans can be used on all heat sources: gas, electric, solid or radian plate, glass-ceramic, vitro-ceramic, and those stoves that work with induction and gas, oil, coal, or wood. Cast iron's unparalleled ability to retain heat makes this Lava Dutch Oven a great choice for slow cooking hearty stews and soups, as well as braising and roasting meat and poultry. It pairs an extra-wide cooking surface with sides high enough to contain liquids for braising and simmering. The pan's innovative enamel coating takes cooking with cast iron to the next level with improved performance, style and durability.
