Everything you love about cooking with Ironclad.
Everything you love about soap.

Wash in warm, soapy water. Use a soft cloth or gentle sponge. Rinse well and dry fully with a soft towel. Store in a dry place. If stacking, place a cloth between pans.

Dishwashers will reduce its life. Think of it like a premium chopping board, a knife, or a hat you really like. You wouldn’t put them in a dishwasher. While Ironclad cookware can take almost anything, dishwashers strip, crack, and damage.

GUARANTEED FOR LIFE

Every Ironclad enamel cast iron piece is backed with a lifetime guarantee. If your pan ever fails under normal daily use*, we’ll repair or replace it. Built to last, in colours made to be kept.

*Normal daily use means cooking like a sane person. We have to include this line in case someone throws their pan into the ocean and asks for a replacement.

Can I take it camping?
Definitely. The Old Dutch is built for the barbecue, camp stove, or open fire.

Do I need to season enamel pans?
No. Unlike raw cast iron, enamel pans don’t need seasoning. Just wash, dry, and cook.

What’s the enamel made of?
A natural glass-based coating fused to cast iron at high heat. Durable, smooth, and free from PFAS, PFOA, and PTFE.

Is it dishwasher safe?
Dishwashers reduce its life. Hand wash in warm, soapy water for best care.

Does it work in the oven?
Yes. Ironclad enamel cast iron is oven safe. Avoid temperatures over 300°C. But that’s crazy hot.

Does it work on induction?
Yes. Ironclad enamel cast iron works on all heat sources, including induction, flame, barbecue, and campfire.

Does the lid work as a skillet?
Yes. The lid is a second skillet that fits the pot for oven work and two-pan cooking.

Can I bake bread in it?
Yes. The pot and lid create a bread oven that traps steam for a good crust. The 4.5L size suits most loaves.

How big is it?
The Old Dutch has a 4.5L capacity. Big enough for family meals, stews, and sourdough loaves.

Does the enamel change with use?
Over time the satin enamel develops a lived-in patina. It will not affect performance.

Is it covered by the Three Generation Guarantee®?
Enamel cast iron comes with a lifetime guarantee. One human lifetime. Ironclad seasoned cast iron is different. Each piece is cast with the Ironclad Three Generation Guarantee® in the base. A warranty to last your lifetime, your children’s, and your grandchildren’s.
