The Big Green Egg 5.2 litre Oval Enamelled Dutch Oven is a reliable all-rounder for slow cooking, simmering, braising, and baking. Designed to be as practical as it is versatile, it effectively offers two pans in one: the lid can be used separately from the main pot, or both pieces can be combined for stews, casseroles, and one-pot meals. Both elements also double as attractive serving dishes.

Big Green Egg’s most popular cast iron pan

With its heavy cast iron construction, this Dutch oven delivers outstanding heat retention at both high and low temperatures. It’s ideal for everything from slow-cooked curries to baking sourdough loaves.

Two dishes in one

Handles on both the base and lid make it easy to use each part individually or together, depending on what’s being cooked.

Dishwasher safe

Unlike other cast iron cookware, this model is dishwasher safe thanks to its durable Big Green Egg racing green enamel coating. No seasoning or special treatment is required to maintain the enamel finish.

Cooking versatility

The Oval Enamelled Dutch Oven performs brilliantly across a wide range of temperatures - working as well for browning and sautéing at higher heats as it does for low-and-slow cooking. It’s a great choice for bread baking, braises, stews, and more.

Care guidance

Big Green Egg recommends cleaning with hot water and a soft sponge after use. Harsh detergents and abrasive scrubbers should be avoided, as they can strip away the protective layer that helps reduce sticking and enhances flavour. After drying, a light coating of a high-smoke-point oil such as sunflower or rapeseed can be applied when needed.
