Field Co. Dutch Oven

Field Co. engineered this piece to be significantly lighter than standard cast iron Dutch ovens, making it much easier to maneuver in and out of the oven. Despite the reduced weight, it maintains the excellent heat retention and durability you expect from traditional cast iron cookware.

It comes pre-seasoned with a smooth finish that offers natural non-stick performance, but it is not a synthetic non-stick coating. Like all high-quality cast iron, the surface will become increasingly non-stick the more you cook with it and maintain the seasoning.

The lid features a specific design that catches condensation as it rises and drips it back onto your food. This process keeps meats and stews moist during long braises without you needing to manually baste them.

No, this Dutch oven is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with warm water and dry it immediately, followed by a light coat of oil.

Yes, because it is made of cast iron, it is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and glass-top stoves. It is also safe to use inside your oven or directly on a grill.

The 4.5-quart capacity is ideal for cooking for two to four people. It is perfectly sized for standard recipes like a whole chicken, a loaf of sourdough bread, or a batch of chili, though you may want a larger vessel if you regularly cook for larger crowds.
