A lifetime of joy

With the right care, a Dutch Oven will last a lifetime. The very robust cast iron material is insensitive to scratches. There is no coating, such as Teflon or PFA, that could peel off. However, a Dutch oven can be damaged if not handled properly, e.g:

- Damage caused by falls, knocks or the use of force
- Damage caused by extreme temperatures or weather conditions
- Damage caused by chemical or abrasive substances
- Damage due to improper care or cleaning
