Pyrolux PYROCHEF Round French Oven Duck Egg Blue

The Pyrolux PYROCHEF Round French Oven in Duck Egg Blue is made for casseroles, soups, slow-cooked stews, roasts, sautéing and baking. Available in 24cm/4L, 26cm/5L and 28cm/6L sizes, it covers everyday meals through to larger family dishes and batch cooking.

The enamelled cast iron body holds heat across the cooking surface, while the close-fitting lid helps keep moisture inside during simmering and braising. Its smooth three-layer enamel coating is easy to clean and suitable for acidic ingredients such as tomato sauces and marinades.
