Meet the lightest, smoothest cast iron Dutch oven.
Our No.8 Dutch Oven is factory seasoned for a naturally non-stick finish. It holds 4.5 quarts making it the perfect size for everyday baking, braising, and more. And at just 6.5 pounds, it’s easy to move from the stovetop to the oven or table.
The braising liquid reduced perfectly in this thing, and cleanup was just a quick wipe thanks to that factory seasoning. Having a 4.5-quart pot that doesn't feel like a gym weight has made me reach for it every single weekend.
I was honestly shocked at how light this thing is when I lifted it out of the box—every other cast iron pot I've owned felt like a dumbbell. The factory seasoning gives it a smoothness that made my first batch of bread release without a single stuck spot, and cleanup was just a quick wipe.
The seasoning is genuinely non-stick—I braised a whole chicken and it slid right out with just a quick wipe. For a 4.5-quart pot it's surprisingly light to lift, which makes it my go-to for everything from sourdough to stews.
