Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a Dutch Oven used for?
A Dutch oven is an exceptionally versatile piece of cookware, suitable for slow-cooking, braising, preparing soups and stews, deep-frying, and baking. Bessemer Dutch Ovens specifically, can also be used for cooking roasts and cakes on the stovetop, when paired with a Universal Lid, due to their patented 'Oven-Effect' capabilities.
What is the difference between a Dutch Oven and a Roaster?
A traditional dutch oven is deeper and has thicker walls, making it ideal for wet heat such as braising or stewing. A roaster is generally shallower and is primarily designed for the oven to expose more surface area. Bessemer's deep-bodied dutch oven pot combines the best of both functions.
How does the Bessemer Dutch Oven work on the stovetop?
When the Bessemer Dutch Oven is combined with its Universal Lid, it provides a distinctive steam circulation that replicates the consistent, indirect heat typical of a conventional oven. This 'Oven-Effect Cooking' allows you to prepare recipes normally requiring an oven, like cakes and pizza, right on your stovetop.
Are Bessemer Dutch Ovens safe to use in the oven?
Yes, all Bessemer dutch oven products are oven safe up to 180 degrees celcius, providing a seamless transition between stovetop cooking and finishing off in the oven.
What size Dutch Oven is best for a family?
For an average family, the Bessemer 32cm or the larger 37cm Cook n’ Bake model is recommended. Its generous capacity is perfect for large stews, casseroles, and baking whole loaves of dutch oven bread.
Which is better, enameled or cast iron dutch oven?
Traditional cast iron dutch oven cookware is highly durable but heavy and requires seasoning. Bessemer's premium cast aluminium offers the best of both worlds. It's significantly lighter than cast iron, heats faster, and the triple-layer ceramic fusion coating provides excellent, low-maintenance food release, similar to high-quality enamel.
How long do Bessemer dutch ovens last for?
Bessemer dutch ovens are built for longevity. They are crafted using heavy gauge materials and are backed by Bessemer's Lifetime Guarantee, giving you peace of mind that your investment will last for decades.
