What is included
A 5.5-quart Dutch oven in bare, polished cast iron, not enamel, with a domed lid. Smithey gives it as 4.6 inches deep and 13.3 inches from handle to handle, and about 14.5 lb with the lid (9.2 lb for the pot alone), sized for a family of four. The lid also fits Smithey’s No. 10 skillet. It works on gas, electric and induction, and Smithey says your oven can’t get too hot for it, without giving a number for the pot or the lid. Clean with warm soapy water, a metal spatula or a chainmail scrubber, then dry on the stove and oil.
