HOT ! Vermicular Oven Pot 2.0 | 14cm | Standing Handle

Precisely manufactured to be as thin as 1.8 millimeters, Vermicular’s Oven Pot 2.0 Mini is half the thickness of other Dutch ovens on the market. The thin walls—made with a proprietary blend of cast iron—allow for the pan to heat up much faster, which cuts down preheating and boiling times. (This innovation is no surprise—Japanese company Vermicular is known for meticulous craftsmanship rooted in improving traditional cookware.) Vermicular coats the pot’s durable interior with three layers of heat-resistant enamel to distribute heat evenly and evaporate excess moisture in as little as three seconds. The enameled cast iron’s even heat conductivity ensures you can sear a range of veggies and meats—from thin tenderloins to bone-in chuck roasts to skin-on chicken thighs–just like you would in a frying pan. Plus, it weighs in at just 2.6 pounds—much lighter than the original Oven Pot—making it one of the lightest Dutch ovens we’ve used.The hand-machined lid fits exceptionally tight, which creates a seal that locks in moisture and concentrates the natural flavors of the ingredients. Additionally, it’s designed to be lighter at the front, so the lid gently floats to vent pressure and avoid boil-overs. Ridges on the base create space between the heat source and ingredients, which 1) prevents the bottom from burning and 2) allows you to efficiently steam-roast foods. Potatoes, carrots, chicken legs and more will come out tender, rich in flavor and often caramelized—without even turning on the oven. The Oven Pot 2.0 Mini is equipped with an easy-to-grab, self-standing handle that keeps the lid clean and the countertop dry. Available in colors Sea Salt White, Oyster Gray, Hazelnut Brown, Deep Ocean Blue, Matte Himalayan Pink, Matte Linen Beige, Matte Chamomile Yellow and Matte Black.Net Weight: 2.6 poundsDimensions: 7.6 inches x 4.7 inches x 2.4 inches; Diameter 5.5 inches; Capacity 1 quartMaterials: Enameled Cast IronPlace of Origin: JapanCare: Hand-wash recommended. Avoid metal cooking tools while cooking and abrasive products while cleaning. Rims are not enamel-coated and can potentially rust, so be sure to dry thoroughly after washing.How to Use: Compatible with all stovetops and safe for oven use up to 570 degrees Fahrenheit. Use it for single portions of steam-roasted vegetables, seared meat, rice, soups, stews, braises and more.Hotter and Faster, That’s the TrickThe thin, lightweight design of the Vermicular Oven Pot 2.0 Mini starts with a proprietary alloy of graphite iron and other metals heated to 2,700℉—hotter than most brands—and then poured into sand molds in a few seconds—a fraction of the time of other brands—to ensure durability for such an even product. Next, a tight-fitting seal between the pot and lid is created thanks to hand-machining the edges to less than 0.01 millimeter of variance. Finally, the Oven Pot 2.0 Mini is coated in enamel three times before it is ready for use.
