Caraway Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven

You're buying Caraway for its 'non-toxic' claim — the active Prop 65 warning for cast iron body metals directly contradicts that positioning.

The cooking performance is genuinely excellent. A 500°F oven rating unlocks no-knead bread (which needs the full heat for crust and spring), and 6.5 quarts handles a whole chicken with room for vegetables.

For everything a Dutch oven is supposed to do, the specs are there. This is the one area where Caraway delivers without reservation — and it makes the safety disqualification more frustrating, because the product otherwise has real merit.

For families without strength or mobility concerns who use this pot occasionally, the weight is manageable. For daily-use households or anyone with wrist concerns, consider lighter enameled cast iron alternatives.

Hand wash only — no exceptions. For a heavy pot with stuck-on fond from a three-hour braise, that means soaking and scrubbing by hand every time. It's not unusual for cast iron Dutch ovens, but it's worth factoring into how often you'll actually want to use this.
