{"product_id":"hearth-dutch-oven-5-5-qt","title":"Hearth Dutch Oven 5.5 qt","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hearth Dutch Oven 5.5 qt is the one-pot size for a household of four: 26 cm across (10.2 in), 13 cm tall, 5.2 liters, 5.2 kg (11.5 lb) with the lid. It takes a whole chicken with vegetables around it, a stew that feeds four with leftovers, or a boule from a full kilo of dough. The enamel runs inside and out, so the pot never needs seasoning; the cooking surface cleans with soap and water. The lid knob is stainless steel and the exterior comes in three enamel colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCast iron walls 4 mm thick hold a steady low simmer for hours, and the self-basting lid drips condensation back onto whatever is under it. Wide loop handles on both sides fit gloved hands. It goes into a 260 °C (500 °F) oven and onto an induction cooktop. Hand wash, dry fully, and store with the lid propped open so air reaches the inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 5.5 qt the right size for four people?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes for stews, chili and braises: 5.2 liters is four generous servings plus leftovers. For batch cooking or a whole bird for six to eight, the Hearth Dutch Oven 7.5 qt is 30 cm across.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I get browned marks off the enamel interior?\u003c\/strong\u003e Soak it in warm water, then wash with soap and a soft sponge. Do not use the chainmail scrubber from the Bench Care Kit on enamel; that scrubber is for the bare iron surfaces of the Hearth skillets and the Forge pans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I carry it to the table on the Bench Trivet?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The Bench Trivet stands on silicone feet and is rated to hold the 7.5 qt, so the 5.2 kg of this pot is well within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhitesmith: finished by hand, guaranteed for life.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whitesmith","offers":[{"title":"Clay","offer_id":64597723644275,"sku":"HEARTH-DUTCH-CLA","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Flint","offer_id":64597723677043,"sku":"HEARTH-DUTCH-FLI","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sage","offer_id":64597723709811,"sku":"HEARTH-DUTCH-SAG","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/8039\/8195\/files\/hearth-dutch-oven-5-5-qt-clay-three-quarter.png?v=1788429096","url":"https:\/\/whitesmithcookware.com\/products\/hearth-dutch-oven-5-5-qt","provider":"Whitesmith Cookware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
