A lidded enamel stew pot handmade in Austria. It has a classic, straight-sided shape with a chrome rim and two handles for easy lifting and transport. Use it for stews and soups, boiled dinners, pasta, veggies, potatoes, and more.
Because enamel has such good heat retention, heat can be turned off a good 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time as an energy-saving method. Enamel cookware is oven safe, so your stew pot can be popped into a warm oven to keep foods hot. Always use pot holders.
Available in three sizes.

All Riess enamelware is hand dipped and as such, your piece may have small spots where the finish is thinner, particularly at edges or corners. This is expected and will not affect the performance of the piece. Always dry your enamelware thoroughly and it should remain rust free. Should rust form, it can easily be removed with dishwashing soap.
Use:
Remove all stickers and wash before use.
The optimal operating temperature for cooking is 425℉. Make sure the cookware doesn't overheat on the stovetop or in the oven. Never heat any cookware without contents inside.
Start cooking at a low temperature and gradually increase the heat.
Use pot holders.
Knives or kitchen gadgets made of metal can be used as enamel cookware is cut- and scratch-resistant, however, avoid tapping hard with metal gadgets on the edge of the pot.
Avoid impact with hard objects or floors.
NOT microwave safe
Care: Porcelain enamel is glass fused to iron at very high temperatures. It is scratch resistant and long lasting with proper care.
Riess cookware is suitable for the dishwasher (on the gentle cycle), however, we recommend washing manually to preserve its shine.
More Care Tips:
After cooking, allow the cookware to cool then fill it with warm — never cold — water and detergent and let it soak. Then clean with the smooth side of a cleaning sponge or a soft brush.
For persistent food residue, let the water boil shortly.
Store the enamel cookware only after it is properly dried. Spots caused by hard water can be easily removed with vinegar and water.
Avoid using cleaning aids such as wire brushes, steel wool, scouring agents containing harsh abrasives, and cleaning sponges with abrasive particles.
Enamelware is highly scratch resistant, however metal utensils can leave dark marks. These marks can be removed with a mild abrasive compound made for cleaning enamel, or a paste made of baking soda and dish soap. We recommend using wooden or silicone cooking implements on your enamel to avoid these marks.
Further Reading: Riess is a European company with a long history. Its roots date back to the year 1550, when the Riess family founded a pan forge in Ybbsitz, Austria. This is where production of the high-quality porcelain enamel kitchenware known as Riess Enamelware began in 1922.
Today, the company is ninth-generation family run and remains the only porcelain cookware company in Austria. They make all their enamelware in a carbon-neutral facility using locally-generated hydro power from the Ybbs river.
