Pyrolux PYROCHEF Round French Oven - Meringue

The Pyrolux PYROCHEF Round French Oven in Meringue is designed for casseroles, slow-cooked stews, soups, roasts, sautéing and baking. Available in three sizes, it gives you the flexibility to choose a pot for everyday meals, family cooking or larger batches.

The enamelled cast iron body distributes and retains heat during cooking, while the close-fitting lid helps keep moisture inside the pot. Its smooth three-layer enamel coating creates a non-reactive cooking surface that is suitable for tomato-based dishes, marinades and other acidic foods.
