Crock-Pot Artisan 7-Quart Oval Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven – Scarlet Red, Self-Basting Lid, Oven Safe to 500°F

Crock-Pot Artisan 7-Quart Oval Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven – Scarlet Red

From sourdough to slow-braised short ribs, the Crock-Pot Artisan 7-Quart Oval Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven in Scarlet Red is the heirloom-quality piece every kitchen deserves. Heavy-gauge cast iron delivers even, edge-to-edge heat retention for searing, sautéing, simmering, braising, frying, baking, roasting, and serving — all in one pan, all on one trivet.

The oval shape accommodates whole roasts, racks of ribs, large fish, and oversized loaves of bread that round 5- and 6-quart Dutch ovens simply can't fit. The vibrant Scarlet Red porcelain enamel finish goes straight from cooktop or oven to the dinner table, while a self-basting lid recirculates moisture for tender, flavorful results.

What's Included

• 1 × Crock-Pot Artisan 7-Quart Oval Dutch Oven (Scarlet Red)
• 1 × Self-Basting Cast Iron Lid with Stainless Steel Knob
• Manufacturer Use & Care Guide
• Limited Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty

Key Features

• Heirloom-Quality Cast Iron: Heavy-gauge construction holds heat longer than aluminum or stainless and slowly releases it for steady, low-temperature braising and consistent baking.
• Porcelain Enamel Interior & Exterior: Smooth, non-reactive enamel resists staining and odors, eliminates the need to season, and is safe with acidic ingredients like tomato, wine, and citrus.
• Self-Basting Lid: Cast-iron lid features interior basting points that recirculate condensation back onto the food, locking in moisture for fall-apart short ribs, pulled pork, stews, and chili.
• Oven Safe Up to 500°F (260°C): Roast, bake artisan loaves, and finish broiler-friendly recipes — the stainless-steel knob is rated for high oven heat (verify per current manufacturer guide).
• Stovetop, Induction, Gas, Electric & Ceramic Compatible: Works on every common cooktop including induction (cast iron is naturally magnetic).
• Oval Shape: Better than round for whole chickens, pork shoulders, beef brisket, and loaf-shaped sourdough.
• Stylish Tabletop Service: Scarlet Red brings statement color to a dinner table — go from oven to table without a separate serving dish.
• Easy Cleanup: Hand-wash with warm water and mild soap; the enamel surface releases food easily and resists baked-on residue.

Care & Cleaning

• Hand-wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or nylon brush. Avoid steel wool or abrasive scouring pads.
• For stuck-on residue, soak with hot water and a tablespoon of baking soda before scrubbing.
• Dry thoroughly to prevent any micro-rusting on exposed iron rim.
• Use silicone, wooden, or coated nylon utensils. Metal utensils may chip the enamel.
• Allow the pot to come to room temperature before adding cold ingredients to a very hot pot, which can cause thermal shock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the lid knob oven-safe at high temperatures?
A: The stainless-steel knob is rated for use up to typical oven roasting temperatures. Always verify the current oven-safe limit in the manufacturer's use & care guide before broiling.

Q: Does this work on induction?
A: Yes — cast iron is naturally magnetic and induction-compatible.

Q: Does the enamel chip easily?
A: Enamel is durable but not invincible. Avoid metal utensils, sharp knocks against burners or edges, and sudden temperature shocks (cold water on a hot pot).

Q: What size meal does 7 quarts feed?
A: A 7-quart oval comfortably handles a 5–6 lb whole chicken, a 4–5 lb roast, or a stew/braise serving 8–10 people.

Q: Round vs. oval — which is better?
A: Round Dutch ovens excel at stews and breads; oval shines for whole birds, roasts, and oblong loaves. The 7-qt oval gives you both versatility and capacity.

Q: Is it dishwasher safe?
A: Hand-wash is recommended to extend the life of the porcelain enamel and the lid's stainless knob.
