From slow-cooking a family recipe or baking fresh bread, these ovens hold steady heat and build rich, layered flavour with every use. Designed for everyday cooks and lifelong makers, each Ironclad cast iron or enamel Dutch oven is built to last beyond lifetimes, not seasons.
Meet the 4.5L Cast Iron Dutch Oven
Our 4.5L cast-iron double Dutch oven is the heart of any kitchen. Big enough for roasts, curries, and sourdough, but still compact enough to live on your stovetop, it’s the one pot you’ll reach for every day. Crafted from high-quality cast iron cookware, it holds heat evenly from edge to edge, perfect for slow braises, hearty stews, and everything in between.
It’s available in three timeless finishes – Olive Leaf, Antique Black, and Salt Stone – each made to move effortlessly from oven to table.
Strength Meets Simplicity
Every Ironclad oval Dutch oven is made to stand the test of time. Its thick walls and heavy base ensure reliable heat retention, while the self-basting lid keeps moisture sealed in. That means juicier meats, richer sauces, and perfectly cooked meals every time.
Prefer something with a little flair? The enamel Dutch oven range offers the strength of traditional iron with an easy-to-clean enamel coating. For those who love flexibility, the large cast iron Dutch ovens are perfect for everything from stovetop soups to oven-baked bread.
Built for Gatherings
Some cookware is made to cook, but ours is made to connect.
Our oval cast iron Dutch ovens carry a sense of occasion, even on an ordinary night. Its solid design makes it perfect for sitting comfortably inside the oven, gas, electric, or induction stovetops (we recommend our induction cookware for this).
These all pair beautifully with your other cast iron skillets, cast iron frying pans, and enamel cast iron cookware.
For those who love to feed a crowd, there’s the Entertainer’s Bundle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I cook in a cast iron Dutch oven?
Cast iron Dutch ovens can handle almost anything, from slow-cooked stews and casseroles to baking bread, roasting vegetables, or deep-frying. Its even heat distribution makes it one of the most versatile pieces in any kitchen.
What’s the difference between a large Dutch oven and an enamel Dutch oven?
A traditional cast iron Dutch oven has a natural finish that develops seasoning over time. An enamel Dutch oven has a smooth, non-stick enamel coating that requires no seasoning and is easier to clean. Both deliver excellent heat retention and durability.
Can I use a cast iron Dutch oven on an induction cooktop?
All of our cast iron Dutch ovens are compatible with induction, gas, electric, and oven cooking. Their heavy bases make them perfect for steady heat across all surfaces, even an open flame.
How big is the Ironclad Dutch oven?
The Ironclad cast iron Dutch oven is 4.5L, the perfect size for family meals, batch cooking, and entertaining. For those who love to cook big, the Entertainer’s Bundle offers a complete set of Ironclad favourites for every occasion.
