This 5 quart round Dutch oven from MAGNAWARE is sized for everyday cooking, simmering a sauce, braising a chicken, or baking bread, without the weight of a cast iron pot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this Dutch oven?
It holds 5 quarts in a round shape, a practical size for everyday simmering, braising, and baking for a small to medium household. It is large enough for a braised chicken, yet compact enough to lift and store easily between uses.
What is the interior coating?
The interior is non-stick and Teflon-free, so food releases easily and cleanup does not depend on a maintained seasoning layer the way a bare cast iron interior does. That makes it simpler for cooks who want easy release without an ongoing routine.
Will it rust like cast iron?
No, this pot is cast aluminum, which will not rust the way cast iron can, and it is noticeably lighter to lift and handle when full. That lighter weight also makes it easier to move between stovetop, oven, and sink.
What comes with it?
The Dutch oven includes a fitted lid and two silicone handle covers, giving you heat protection at both handles right out of the box. The lid helps hold in heat and moisture while a braise or a pot of soup simmers.
What can I cook in it?
Cast aluminum heats evenly, which makes this pot suited to simmering sauces, braising meat, and baking bread or other oven dishes that need steady, consistent heat in a size that fits a family sized portion without taking up too much space.
