This cast aluminum version of an iron classic supplies lightweight, nearly non-stick cooking performance.

  • Once a prized possession of early pioneers and mountain men, this modern version is cast from super-durable hard anodized aluminum
  • Cast aluminum offers non-stick like performance and needs no seasoning; lightweight material is about a third the weight of cast-iron
  • Hard anodization process hardens the cookware's surface, making it incredibly abrasion-resistant and easy to clean
  • Being twice as hard as stainless steel and with an amazingly even heat transfer, the anodized aluminum is sealed away from direct contact with food
  • Thick and sturdy bail-wire handle for lifting, rotation and transport of hot oven
  • Tight fitting lid with tall edge lip to hold coals or charcoal
  • Sturdy legs raise oven for better heat dispersion when used on a stove, with charcoal briquettes or in the camp fire
  • Classic design excels at stewing, boiling, steaming, baking, roasting and frying

Imported.

      Comments about GSI Hard Anodized Dutch Oven - 5 Quart:

      The smooth anodized surface is easy to clean and care for, compared to the cast iron ovens that I've used. The apple crisp we made came out perfect. It's relatively lightweight and won't rust.

      The handle for the bottom is just like the ones on the cast iron versions, a thick steel wire. The handle for the lid is also steel, about the same diameter as the other handle. It appears to be secured to the lid by small steel pins (i.e., the pins are imbedded in the cast aluminum.) If anything, those may be the only weak points since they could, in theory, corrode and possibly allow the handle to pull out. But I'm not too worried about it.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      For vehicle or boat based trips, this Dutch Oven adds awesome variety back country cuisine. We have baked so many things in it and they come out as good or better than our oven at home! Fresh baked Chocolate brownies in the middle of the Sahara anyone?

        Excellent kit - cleans up well and seems to reatin heat similar to the cast iron models - and is much lighter. Food still marks it when burned on but thats all part of using a dutch oven. Nice not to have to keep seasoning and watching out for rust.
