From The Manufacturer

A wonderful addition to any cookware collection, this AmazonBasics Enameled Cast Iron Casserole can be used for baking, boiling, braising, or roasting a wide range of favorite or newly inspired recipes. The roomy pot works especially well for one-dish meals. Begin by browning or sautéing on the stovetop, then add liquids and finish in the oven. The versatile vessel moves seamlessly from the refrigerator to the stovetop or oven to the table for serving and easier cleanup (no need to dirty multiple pots). The AmazonBasics enameled cast-iron cookware can be used on all cooking surfaces, including on a stovetop, in the oven or on a barbecue. When using it on ceramic- or glass-topped cooking surfaces, avoid dragging the cookware to protect the cooking surface. Made with heavy-duty cast iron, the casserole retains heat well and distributes it evenly. Heat spreads thoroughly across its wide, flat base and all the way up the tall sides for optimal cooking results. Even more, it comes with an enamel finish that won’t react to food. This helps ensure pure flavors and makes the pot a great choice for marinating, cooking, and storing food. Ruggedly built, the enameled cast-iron pot’s loop side handles promote a steady, secure grip when lifting or carrying, even when wearing thick oven mitts. The casserole also includes a secure-fitting heavy lid that helps trap in heat, moisture, and nutrients for consistently delicious results.
