Saucepan with Lid Color: Basil, Size: 9.25" Depth Oven and broiler safe up to 500 F. Multi-coat enameling ensures strength and heat resistance and creates a deep, vibrantly colored majolique finish similar in appearance to fine ceramic for oven-to-table presentation. Resistant to rust, chipping and cracking, the coating requires no additional seasoning like some other cast-iron pieces. The specially formulated black matte interior enamel of each piece contains traces of quartz, giving it additional heat resistance and a rougher surface resulting in better browning. Dozens of precisely placed bumps on the lids interior funnel evaporated juices directly back down on top of the food itself for more even basting.
