Enamelled cast iron: the mass of iron with none of the seasoning · review
A rectangular pre-seasoned cast iron Dutch oven whose lid, turned over, is a grill pan — and which publishes the pot and lid volumes separately.
What we would actually buy Two objects in one, and the volumes are published honestly. It belongs outdoors more than on a hob.
A rectangular pre-seasoned cast iron Dutch oven: 7.5 liters in the pot, 3 liters in the lid, 10.5 liters in total, roughly 40 × 30.5 cm (15.7 × 12 in), with a reversible lid that works as a grill or serving pan.
Turned over, it is a second pan with a thermometer port. That is a genuine doubling of what the object does, and it is why the volumes are published separately.
On a fire, on a grill, in an oven. A rectangular base on a round hob ring heats in a circle and leaves the corners cold, so this is outdoor cookware that can come indoors rather than the reverse.
Wash with hot water and chainmail, dry on the heat, wipe a trace of oil in. Store with air around it and never sealed.

Because a Dutch oven lid is deep enough to cook in, and on this one it is a 3 liter pan in its own right. Adding pot and lid to reach a headline 10.5 liters and then saying which is which is unusually honest.
Poorly — a round ring heats a circle in a rectangular base. It works on a fire, on a grill, and in an oven, which is where this style of pot belongs.
