- Good airtightness: The pot lid fits tightly with the pot body, locking in the moisture and aroma of the food, making the dishes more flavorful;
- Durable and easy to clean: The enamel layer is corrosion-resistant and not prone to rust, and only needs gentle cleaning after daily use (avoid scratching with steel wool);
- Compatible with various stoves: Generally可用于 gas stoves and electric ceramic stoves, and some models are also compatible with ovens (need to confirm specific instructions).
