Outlet Traditional Cast Iron Dutch Oven 5.5l Serveware|Pots & Pans

The Skeppshult cast iron casserole Dutch oven is the ultimate pan for campfire cooking, and dishing up hearty slow-cooked casseroles and stews. The stainless steel handle means you can hang the pan from a frame over your fire for wonderfully smoky flame-cooked recipes.

You can also use the Dutch oven on a gas hob and inside the oven. The 5mm thick base distributes heat evenly. This heritage pan is designed to last from generation to generation.

Swedish company Skeppshult (pronounced hep-salt) has been making cast iron products by hand since 1906. The process starts with raw iron that is heated to a searing 1,500°C in the furnaces. The molten iron is then cast into special moulds, made from sand which can withstand the extreme temperatures.

Sand moulds can only be used once, and therefore each product is unique – no two items are exactly alike. Each sand mould is recycled and used for another product. Skeppshult seasons their cast iron with rapeseed oil(also called canola oil)from Osterlen to protect it from damage. This also gives the cast iron its natural non-stick properties.

Skeppshult’s cast iron is an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic-coated aluminium pans.
