KitchenAid 8-Quart Cast-Iron Oval Casserole, Garnet Cast iron construction heats evenly and retains heat exceptionally well - perfect for slow cooking in the oven and keeping food warm at the table. Two-toned porcelain enamel adds an elegant splash of color to your kitchen. A white porcelain enamel interior eliminates the need for seasoning required by traditional non-coated cast iron. A unique cast stainless steel handle provides a secure durable grip. Soft silicone inserts match the cookware color and are oven safe to 500F. Self-basting lid design allows steam to collect on points on the lid interior. The condensed steam recirculates back into the pan allowing food to stay moist and succulent.
