Caraway Rondeau

A rondeau is a wide, shallow pan with straight sides, designed specifically for searing, braising, and poaching. While a traditional Dutch oven is deeper and better suited for soups or stews, the rondeau’s larger surface area allows for better browning of meats and faster reduction of sauces.

The ceramic coating is designed to be naturally slick, so you can use significantly less oil or butter than you would with stainless steel or cast iron. For the best longevity, we recommend using a small amount of oil or butter to help maintain the non-stick surface over time.

Yes, the Caraway Rondeau is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric. Its base is engineered to conduct heat evenly across these different surfaces.

While the non-stick surface makes hand-washing incredibly easy, we recommend hand-washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the integrity of the ceramic coating. Dishwashers use harsh detergents and high heat that can degrade non-stick performance over time.

The Caraway Rondeau is oven-safe up to 550°F. This makes it versatile enough for finishing dishes under the broiler or roasting at high temperatures.

The included lid is designed to sit securely on the pan, effectively trapping steam and moisture during braising or roasting. While it isn't a pressure-seal lid, it is more than sufficient for standard stovetop and oven cooking tasks.
