The tight-fitting lid keeps the oven clean and is perfect when proving dough to create family-sized loaves of focaccia and other favourites. The easy-release interior suits baking tarts, crumbles and pies.\u003cbr\u003e\nTry it with spatchcock chicken, cooking with the lid on to keep the meat moist, then removing the lid towards the end for a final blast to make the skin crispy.

A solid performer, it distributes heat evenly and retains heat to save energy; it best operates on a low to medium setting. Transfer from oven to table, and it will keep dishes warm for longer. The domed lid increases space and returns moisture to the pot to prevent dishes from drying out. You need only a little oil for cooking, thanks to the sand enamel interior that prevents sticking and burning. Adding a touch of water makes it ideal for steaming too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to carry and clean\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe lightest cast iron on the market, this much-loved kitchen staple features large handles that are easy to grip with oven gloves. Stabilisers under the lid give a secure, no-slide fit, while the lid's heat-resistant stainless steel knob is ergonomically shaped for the hand. Almost like non-stick, the toughened enamel interior is easy to wipe clean. It's also hygienic and won't absorb odours and flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt to last\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDesigned for longevity, this quality kitchen favourite makes a wonderful wedding gift, to be enjoyed for many memorable meals to come.
