Cuisinart Earth & Essence 5 Qt Cast Iron Casserole: Rustic Character, Modern Performance
The porcelain enameled interior is non-reactive and easy to clean, while the durable cast iron body distributes heat evenly for tender braises, hearty soups, and crusty bread. Wide grip side handles make it easier to move even when wearing bulky oven mitts.
5 Qt Capacity and Fit
At 5 quarts, this casserole fits a chicken, a large batch of chili, or a loaf of sourdough. It replaces multiple pans for slow cooking and goes straight to the table for serving.
Stovetop to Oven Versatility
It’s compatible with all stovetops, including induction, and is safe in the oven and under the broiler up to 500°F. The matching cover locks in moisture and keeps dishes warm while you finish the meal.
Care and Cleaning
Although it’s dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water will protect the enamel’s finish. Dry it completely and store with the lid slightly ajar to let the interior breathe.
