GUSSKÖNIG Dutch Oven

The GUSSKÖNIG Dutch oven is cast from solid iron and arrives pre-seasoned, so it can go straight onto coals, a grill, a gas stove or into an oven without any burn-in. It is offered in several sizes, from 4.5 litres up to 12 litres, either with a foot for open-fire cooking or without one for stovetop use. Each one comes with a 2-in-1 lid lifter that doubles as a pan handle, a trivet and a recipe booklet.

The thick cast walls hold and spread heat evenly, which keeps stews and roasts moist rather than scorched at the edges. Because it is solid cast iron rather than enamelled ware, it needs a wipe with warm water and a light coat of oil after each use to keep the seasoning intact, and it is backed by a 30-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
