Use & Care

Everything you love about cooking with Ironclad.
Everything you love about soap.

Wash in warm, soapy water. Use a soft cloth or gentle sponge. Rinse well and dry fully with a soft towel. Store in a dry place. If stacking, place a cloth between pans.

Dishwashers will reduce its life. Think of it like a premium chopping board, a knife, or a hat you really like. You wouldn’t put them in a dishwasher. While Ironclad cookware can take almost anything, dishwashers strip, crack, and damage.

For more detailed care instructions, visit our care page.

GUARANTEED FOR LIFE

Every Ironclad enamel cast iron piece is backed with a lifetime guarantee. If your pan ever fails under normal daily use*, we’ll repair or replace it. Built to last, in colours made to be kept.

*Normal daily use means cooking like a sane person. We have to include this line in case someone throws their pan into the ocean and asks for a replacement.

FAQ

Can I take it camping?
Definitely. The Old Dutch is built for the barbecue, camp stove, or open fire.

Do I need to season enamel pans?
No. Unlike raw cast iron, enamel pans don’t need seasoning. Just wash, dry, and cook.

What’s the enamel made of?
A natural glass-based coating fused to cast iron at high heat. Durable, smooth, and free from PFAS, PFOA, and PTFE.

Is it dishwasher safe?
Dishwashers reduce its life. Hand wash in warm, soapy water for best care.

Does it work in the oven?
Yes. Ironclad enamel cast iron is oven safe. Avoid temperatures over 300°C. But that’s crazy hot.

Does it work on induction?
Yes. Ironclad enamel cast iron works on all heat sources, including induction, flame, barbecue, and campfire.

Does the lid work as a skillet?
Yes. The lid is a second skillet that fits the pot for oven work and two-pan cooking.

Can I bake bread in it?
Yes. The pot and lid create a bread oven that traps steam for a good crust. The 4.5L size suits most loaves.

How big is it?
The Old Dutch has a 4.5L capacity. Big enough for family meals, stews, and sourdough loaves.

Does the enamel change with use?
Over time the satin enamel develops a lived-in patina. It will not affect performance.

Is it covered by the Three Generation Guarantee®?
Enamel cast iron comes with a lifetime guarantee. One human lifetime. Ironclad seasoned cast iron is different. Each piece is cast with the Ironclad Three Generation Guarantee® in the base. A warranty to last your lifetime, your children’s, and your grandchildren’s.

LIFETIME SUPPORT

We stand by our products for the long haul. For advice, help, or support, our team is here to help—always.

Every pour is quality tested to ensure that our cast iron is pure enough to cook with.

In Australia and New Zealand, the cast iron industry remains unregulated, with no specific standards for "Food Grade Cast Iron." While we are working to change that, it’s currently up to each manufacturer to ensure their products are safe. At Ironclad, we choose to meet the highest global standards for cookware, including the requirements set by California Proposition 65 and the FDA.
Handcrafted with the same care and quality that defined cast iron cookware of generations past.

Inspired by vintage cast iron pieces from the 1800s, our signature finishing techniques create an elegantly smooth surface that feels almost like ceramic. By carefully grinding and polishing the cooking surface and base, we can create cast iron that is both naturally non-stick and gentle enough for even the most delicate cooktops, including induction.
With every Heirloom pan, you receive lifetime access the Ironclad Vault.

The Ironclad Vault is a secure digital platform that stores your Ironclad Guarantee alongside your family’s most treasured recipes.
As part of a thoughtful gift, the Ironclad Vault can also be preloaded with recipes and messages from friends and family. For weddings, anniversaries, or milestone moments.
Your purchase not only nourishes your family, it also helps feed a family in need.

A portion of the profit from each Ironclad Cast Iron Pan sold goes to KiwiHarvest, a charity dedicated to rescuing surplus food and distributing it to people facing food insecurity.
At Ironclad, we challenge throwaway culture through the concept of 'generational shopping', creating products that last and stay out of landfill.
