Great Jones The Dutchess

Yes, The Dutchess is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric ranges.

The Dutchess is oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for high-heat roasting, braising, and bread baking.

The oval shape is specifically designed to accommodate larger cuts of meat, like whole chickens or roasts, that might not fit comfortably in a standard round Dutch oven. It also works well for long vegetables like celery or carrots.

Yes, The Dutchess is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is generally recommended for enameled cast iron to preserve the finish and prevent potential chipping over time.

The pot weighs 15 pounds. It is a substantial, durable piece of enameled cast iron, so keep that in mind if you prefer lighter cookware.

The lid is designed to sit slightly raised to help manage steam release during cooking, rather than creating an airtight seal. This helps prevent boil-overs while still retaining enough moisture for braising.
