5.8 qt Pot & Lid

5.8qt Pot & Lid - The Gumbo Pot or Chili Pot
It’s called this because you cannot make a better gumbo or chili in another pot!. Can simmer for hours and does not take on the horrible taste of seasoned cast iron. The nickel impregnated cast iron takes on the characteristics of stainless steel. The uniform heating of cast iron prevents hot spots and burning, especially with delicate stews. You should taste a vegetable rice soup, venison stew, or Italian beef mushroom goulash – let alone – your favorite chili. Best of all is the clean-up. Easy to clean, you can soak it, scrub it and put it in the dishwasher. You will love it.

Now you can cook your favorite tomato based dish without the worry of cooking with traditional cast iron!! Also makes for a great fryer and is awesome for baking. Comes with handle mitt.

NICKEL PLATED CAST IRON COOKWARE  


MEMORY FREE
- Foods cooked previously will not affect the flavor or health of the next meal. Olvida does not have to be seasoned. Boil water, simmer sauces, make gravies, none of the seasoning or metal taste comes through. Cook soups or stews, you will be amazed how pure the flavor is.


INDESTRUCTIBLE
- Olvida will not melt, burn, crack, or chip off. The nickel gets harder with use.


PERMANENT
- Using knives, forks, spoons or any metal utensils will not scratch or remove nickel under any heat or circumstance.


EASY TO CLEAN
- Wash with soapy water, rinse, wipe dry.  If you are camping simply use sand and water then wipe dry.  If you happen to burn your food, simply scrape with a knife, scrub with scouring pad, Scotch Brite, steel wool, wire brush or any scouring powder. You will be surprised how fast it will clean up, and no damage to the Olvida.

 

DISHWASHER SAFE - Allow your dishwasher to run its complete cycle as to completely dry your cookware. Note: the high temperature of your washer will sanitize your cookware, then completely dry it.

Olvida cooks at 25-30% higher temperature. Lower your heat accordingly.
