A legend in the baking
Harnessing the heavy-weight element of Fe (cast iron), Fenix Dutch Oven gives you all the ingredients you need to roast a whole chicken, slow-cook to melt-in-the-mouth perfection and bake artisan bread. Just like a true god or goddess of the kitchen.
Bake artisan bread loaves
Inspired by COVID comfort baking, we went in search of the perfect vessel to bake artisan style loaves from the comfort of our homes. Enter the Fenix Dutch Oven. The combination of heat retaining cast-iron and heavenly steam equals light, airy loaves with crispy crusts.
Fenix can handle the heat
A timeless Firra design, drawing on centuries-old cast iron cooking tech that’s unrivalled for even heat distribution, the Fenix effortlessly reaches soaring-hot temperatures up to 300° and works on all heat sources (including gas, electric, induction, coal or wood-powered ovens). So there’s no need to sear your meats in a skillet first and transfer to a pot.
The best way to bake bread
Making crispy, crusty, golden loaves of bread at home has never been easier. It all starts with bread baking in the Fenix Dutch oven, the perfect vessel for making artisan-style loaves. The steam that's created inside the pot miraculously transforms the dough and creates a golden, crispy crust.
Hot tip: Preheat your Dutch Oven for 20 minutes before placing your dough into the pot to cook. This ensures that you create enough steam to get the desired result.

Caring for your cast iron
Your Firra Fenix Dutch Oven is designed to last. Over the years, the internal coating could develop some marks and can take on the colours of what you're cooking. This is perfectly normal and nothing of concern.
For removing extra stubborn baked-on residues
Avoid harsh, abrasive cleaners and scrubbing pads that could damage the enamel coating. A simple three-to-one mix of water and baking soda left in your Ambrosia overnight and a rinse and wipe with a soft cloth the next day should do the trick. Then, just make sure your dish and lid are thoroughly dried before storing.
Care tips and tricks
- Heat up slowly on the stove. Add oils and fats before heating up.
- Avoiding going from really cold to really hot and vice versa.
- Handwashing recommended with warm soapy water.
- Thoroughly dry with a tea towel. Make sure it’s dry before storing away in the cupboard.
- You can run a little bit of oil around the rim where the exposed cast iron is for extra protection.
- Use silicone or wooden utensils to reduce the risk of scratching the enamel.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can choose to pop it in your dishwasher on a short wash occasionally, but be aware that prolonged exposure to moisture and harsh dishwashing detergents can increase the risk of rusting around the bare cast iron rim.
