A master at searing and browning meats before slowly cooking them to perfection, the generously proportioned oven has an oval shape that accommodates long cuts of meat and poultry. Compatible with all types of heat sources, from gas and electric stoves to ceramic and glass cooktops to induction and halogen, the Dutch oven has easy-to-grip handles.
