"Framed as the archetypal clout cookware: the enamel cast-iron Dutch oven is touted as an heirloom-quality piece "your descendants will fight over," made from durable cast iron with an interior enamel coating that, per the brand, will develop a protective natural patina over time and allow decades of braising and red-sauce cooking. Temperature-capability is noted by comparison (the brand’s Dutch oven reaches about 500 degrees Fahrenheit), and the piece’s iconic oven shape and long-lived performance are the reasons it’s repeatedly recommended as an investment." - Francky Knapp
