A legend in the baking
Harnessing the heavy-weight element of Fe (cast iron), Firra Cast Iron 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.
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 Cast Iron Dutch Oven. The combination of heat retaining cast-iron and heavenly steam equals light, airy loaves with crispy crusts.
Firra can handle the heat
A timeless Firra design, drawing on centuries-old cast iron cooking tech that’s unrivalled for even heat distribution, the Cast Iron Dutch Oven 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 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 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 cast iron 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
A Dutch oven is a versatile, heavy-duty pot made of cast iron or enameled cast iron, known for its excellent heat retention and distribution. It can be used for various cooking methods on the stovetop and in the oven. On the other hand, a casserole dish is a baking or cooking vessel typically made of glass, ceramic, or metal, designed specifically for baking casseroles and other baked dishes in the oven. It ensures even heat distribution and moisture retention for flavorful results. While a Dutch oven is multifunctional and can handle a wide range of cooking tasks, a casserole dish is primarily used for baking and roasting in the oven.
Cooking in the Firra Cast Iron Dutch Oven offers exceptional heat retention which allows for even and consistent cooking throughout the pot. This makes it ideal for slow cooking, braising, and simmering, as it helps tenderize tough cuts of meat and develop rich flavors. Secondly, the Dutch oven's versatility enables it to be used on both the stovetop and in the oven. It can seamlessly transition from searing meat on the stovetop to finishing the dish in the oven. Additionally, the heavy lid of a Dutch oven helps trap moisture and flavors, creating a moist and flavorful end result.
You can choose to pop it in your dishwasher on a short wash occasionally, but be aware that prolonged exposure to moisture and harsh dish washing detergents can increase the risk of rusting around the bare cast iron rim. So be sure to apply a light coating of oil around the rim after thoroughly drying – especially if your casserole dish is likely to be in storage for a while before the next use.

Incorrect delivery
I ordered this but was delivered a Cast Iron tray! I have had no reply from an email I sent to Theromix over the incorrectly delivered order yet. There is no phione number to contact them. Please can I have the Dutch Oven delivered. I am sure when I finally get the correct order I will be able to give it 4 or 5 stars.
Disappointed customer
