Consistent heating and heat retention

Cast iron delivers steady heating and strong temperature hold—key for recipes that benefit from time and consistency. It supports stews, broths, reduced sauces, rice, gently cooked vegetables and small cuts of meat with continuous, even heat throughout use.

Tight-fitting lid and moisture retained

The lid follows the contour of the pot to help keep steam, heat and moisture during cooking. This behavior supports slow-cooking and recipes that benefit from a tender texture and a more controlled reduction of liquids.

Compact size for smaller routines

At 18 cm and 1.8 liter capacity, this version serves kitchens that prefer smaller portions without sacrificing cast-iron performance. It is a useful size for daily meals, side dishes, cooking for few people and preparations where a smaller volume improves control.

From stovetop to oven

Compatible with induction, gas, electric, ceramic glass, radiant cooktops, grill and oven. This versatility lets you start on one heat source and finish on another, broadening how you cook across different recipes and routines.

Enameled interior

The enameled interior provides a vitrified surface for practical upkeep and versatile daily use. The light-colored interior also helps you visually track the progress of sauces, caramelization and reductions with greater precision.

Handles and knob

Side handles support secure carrying. The metal knob on the lid aligns with high-temperature oven use, keeping material, shape and function coherent.

Clean by hand or in the dishwasher. To preserve the enamel finish, avoid washing the piece while it is very hot and use protection when placing it on tables or countertops after heating.

It is also advisable to avoid metal utensils that may mark the interior enamel with continuous use. These habits help maintain the finish and performance of the piece over time.

In this line, the 18 cm version holds 1.8 liters and typically serves preparations for about 2 people. It is a practical choice if you want a compact pot with table presence and the characteristic thermal performance of enameled cast iron.
