No. 8 Dutch Oven - 4.5QT

Our No.8 Dutch Oven is factory seasoned for a naturally non-stick finish. It holds 4.5 quarts making it the perfect size for everyday baking, braising, and more. And at just 6.5 pounds, it’s easy to move from the stovetop to the oven or table.

Field cast iron cookware match traditional vintage sizing conventions, where the “number” corresponds not to diameter in inches, but to the burner ring size on an old-fashioned wood-burning stove. That means a 4.5 quart No.8 Dutch Oven is actually wider than 8 inches. (It’s tricky, we know.)

Here’s how we measure up:

• 4.5-quart volume
• 10 ¼” top diameter
• 7 ? base diameter
• 6.5 lbs (base); 10.5 lbs (with lid)
• 4.4" height

Care & Use

Like all great tools, cast iron cookware gets better with time and use.

To keep your No.8 Dutch Oven in top condition:

• Pre-heat on low for up to 5 minutes before you start cooking.
• Use acidic ingredients sparingly.
• Clean according the Field Method for Cast Iron Care & Maintenance.
• Hand-wash only. Never in the dishwasher.
• Towel dry or heat to dry on the stovetop. Never drip-dry or store wet.

Most importantly, cook often!
