Polished Smooth, Naturally Non-Stick Dutch Oven That Can Do It All

Story
The cast iron dutch oven is one of the most versatile tools in the kitchen. From one-pot meals, to baking bread, or even deep frying… the dutch oven is essential to any serious kitchen.  
 
But we wanted to take it to another level, and create the ultimate dutch oven! 
 
 
 
Introducing the Prepd Dutch Oven, a reinvented classic that can do it all.
 
The Prepd Dutch Oven combines non-stick convenience with the performance, versatility, and durability of cast-iron, to create the ultimate dutch oven. 
 
It’s the perfect size for cooking for the whole family, a group of friends, or meal prepping for yourself. It’s the only pot you’ll ever need!
 
 
 
The Prepd Dutch Oven is the most versatile pot you will ever use. It creates incredible flavors and you can cook with it on any surface. The Prepd Dutch Oven can go straight from the stove, to the oven, to the table.
 
You can sear, roast, braise, bake, or deep fry… The possibilities are endless!
 
 
 
Unlike traditional cast iron, our dutch oven is polished smooth, and meticulously seasoned, so that it’s naturally non-stick, without any artificial coatings or enamels that will chip away over time. 

 
After polishing, we season the surface with four layers of grapeseed oil, baking each layer for over an hour. The extra hours of polishing and seasoning result in an incredibly smooth, naturally non-stick finish.
 
 
 
 
The Prepd Dutch Oven has exceptional heat retention and distribution, so you can create incredible flavors with unbeatable results. 

 
Our dutch oven can sear or braise meat perfectly, give you that golden brown crisp when frying, and bake an amazing loaf of homemade sourdough.
 
And because we use only natural finishes, you can cook at high heat without any worries.
 
 
 
 
Unlike enameled cast iron, the Prepd Dutch Oven can handle extreme heat, so you can even use it on the campfire, making it the perfect companion for your next outdoor adventure. In combination with the grill lid, you can cook any dish while you’re out in the wilderness. Less stress, less mess, just plenty of good food to go around. 
 
 
 
When you cook with the Prepd Dutch Oven, it will always draw a crowd… and that’s a good thing because it is perfect for cooking meals for the whole family or for a group of friends. And when you do, they won’t forget it!
 
The Dutch Oven looks great on the stove and the table, perfect to impress your friends and family for Sunday brunches, Thanksgiving, or a potluck dinner.
 
 
 
We’ve also created an innovative Grill Lid, with polished smooth grill lines, so you can bring the BBQ indoors, and get those beautiful grill lines, without any sticking.
 
The Grill Lid also means you can cook multiple dishes at once… or keep the lid on to seal in the flavor.
 
With the Prepd Dutch Oven and Grill Lid set you can do it all!
 
 

 
Our cast iron is made with care, attention to detail, and to the highest quality. Prepd Dutch Oven is an investment that will last many generations, and better yet, it will only improve with age. Every use adds to the layers of seasoning, so your dutch oven will become even more non-stick the longer you use it – and because we use only natural finishes, there’s no enameled surface that can chip away, or degrade over time.
 
 
 
 
 
 
We’ve also designed a set of accessories to help you get the most out of your Prepd Dutch Oven – from cooking to cleaning, to serving. So you’ll be Prepd for any situation!

We absolutely love cooking with cast iron and following the successful Kickstarter launch of the original Prepd Skillet in 2019, we have looked for ways to make cast iron easier and more fun for our Prepd community!
 
We have worked closely with our manufacturing partner to improve the performance of our cast iron range with new designs and manufacturing techniques.
 
 
With the Prepd Dutch Oven, we set out to expand the capabilities of the dutch oven and achieve even better performance. To do this, we have further developed our machining process, which now involves multiple stages of machining to create an even smoother cooking surface over a larger area, that is also extremely effective at retaining seasoning.
 
 
 
We then pre-season the Dutch Ovens by coating them with 4 layers of grapeseed oil. After applying each layer of oil we bake the pan for one hour at 450 degrees F to polymerize the oil. After this extensive seasoning process is complete, we also perform an additional phase of heat treatment to prepare each Dutch Oven for its first use.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
At Prepd it’s our goal to make cooking and eating fun, easy, and enjoyable through good design.
 
Led by Industrial Designer Will Matters, we have designed and manufactured dozens of products and delivered products to customers all over the world. Our first product was the Prepd Pack, a reinvention of the lunchbox that was launched and successfully delivered to over 12,500 backers on Kickstarter in 2016. Since then, we have continued to innovate, developing new approaches to solve some of the biggest pain points in the kitchen.
 
We can’t wait to go on this next Prepd journey with you!
