All the colour and convenience of enamelled cast iron without the boutique price. Pyrochef french ovens by Pyrolux start at $139, which makes them the smartest first dutch oven in New Zealand: heavy cast iron core, glossy enamel finish, and nothing to season, ever.
What's in the range
Round french ovens in 20cm/2 litre and 24cm/4 litre sizes, in Chilli Red and Ocean Blue, plus enamelled casseroles for oven-to-table cooking. The 24cm holds a family casserole, a whole chicken or a loaf of sourdough.
Enamelled vs seasoned: which one?
Enamelled cast iron needs no seasoning and doesn't mind tomatoes, wine or a run through mild dish soap, which makes it the low-maintenance choice for braises and baking. If you want the searing surface that builds character with every use, that's our Pyrocast seasoned cast iron. Many kitchens end up with one of each, and at these prices that's a realistic plan.
