What is included
A 5-quart A1 ScratchDefense Dutch oven with a glass lid: nonstick aluminum, not cast iron, so at 4.3 lb it is light and quick to heat but no good for a 450°F bread bake. Circulon says it suits every stovetop, induction included, takes metal utensils and goes in the dishwasher, and gives two oven limits: 400°F for the pot, 350°F with the lid on. Its drawing gives a 9-inch cooking surface, 10 inches across the top and 7.5 inches high with the lid.
