The Petromax Dutch Oven Essential Line pairs the traditional feel of a cast iron Dutch oven with clever features for the modern outdoor cook. Robust cast iron holds heat and spreads it evenly, ideal for stews, crusty bread and slow braises on the hob, grill or open fire.
It comes seasoned and ready to use, building a stronger natural non-stick surface over time. Thinner walls keep it lighter than classic Dutch ovens without losing stability.
