Enameled Iron 1873 Dutch Oven in Cloud Grey, 5.3 Quart | Merten & Storck
With the 1873 Dutch Oven by Merten & Storck, you're in total control. Crafted from the unique German enameled iron, this Dutch oven is 30% lighter, thinner, and less brittle than cast iron. Merten & Storck's German enameled iron heats faster and more evenly than cast iron, which lets you dial in the perfect temperature for any meal. The 1873 Dutch Oven is finished with a smooth Glaze Guard surface, which is fused directly to the body and creates a bond that's more chip-resistant than enameled cast iron.
Crafted in the same factory in Drensteinfurt, Germany since 1873, and hand-finished by master artisans. It is designed for daily use and the enameled iron is extra scratch and chip resistant. The recessed lid delivers extra room to prevent boil overs and adds a little extra space for your ingredients. The sturdy, welded handles eliminate food traps to make cleaning easier. Oven safe up to 500º F, it is safe for all stovetops including induction. It’s even safe for outdoor cooking!
Dimensions: 10" diameter, 2.1" lid handle, 3.5" side handles
Cooking Tips:
Make sure you have enough butter or oil to cover the whole surface when frying or roasting. Our 1873 Dutch Ovens and Braisers are heat resistant and oven safe up to 500°F, so they can take the heat in and out of the oven.
To avoid damage to the GlazeGuard enamel, don’t use knives or sharp objects in the Dutch oven, don’t beat spoons heavily on the rim of the pan, and let your Dutch oven cool gradually. Use wooden or heat resistant cooking utensils during cooking to help prevent damaging the GlazeGuard layer.
Cleaning Tips:
Hand wash only. For burnt-on food and persistent stains, boil water in the pan with a baking soda solution and leave to stand for 10 minutes before washing away. You can add a little vinegar if you need it to work harder.
Wash in hot water with dish soap and a sponge, then rinse and dry thoroughly, especially along the edge. But don’t use metal pan cleaners, scouring powders or other abrasive substances, as they can damage the GlazeGuard enamel. When you’re all done, rub a little oil on the rim before storing.
