Pyrolux PYROCHEF Round French Oven - Ocean Blue

The PYROCHEF Round French Oven in Ocean Blue is made for casseroles, slow-cooked stews, soups, roasts, sautéing and baking. Its enamelled cast iron body holds heat across the cooking surface, helping food cook evenly and stay warm after it leaves the oven.

A close-fitting lid helps retain moisture during longer cooking, while the smooth three-layer enamel coating provides a non-reactive surface for everyday meals, including tomato-based sauces and marinades. The French oven moves from cooktop to oven to table, reducing the need to transfer food between dishes.
