10L Iron Dutch Oven – AUS-ION™ | Australian-Made Iron Dutch Oven & Camp Oven

The AUS-ION™ 10L Iron Dutch Oven brings together the 10L Iron Deepa Pot and the 35cm Bigga Iron Frypan, the biggest skillet in the AUS-ION™ range. Both share a 35cm diameter, so the Bigga doubles as the lid, turning the pair into a family-scale iron Dutch oven in the kitchen and a camp oven over the fire. Both are made in Sydney from clean Australian iron, with no synthetic coatings and no PFAS, PFOA or PTFE. Take the lid off and you have two big-batch workhorses: a 10-litre pot for stocks, soups and curries, and a 35cm dual-handle frypan for feeding a crowd.

What's in the Set

• AUS-ION™ 10L Iron Deepa Pot: 35cm diameter, 24cm cooking surface, 15cm bowl height, 44.5cm total length, 3mm-thick iron, 10L capacity, 4.6kg

Together the set weighs 8.37kg.

One Lid, Two Jobs

A conventional Dutch oven comes with a lid that only ever does one thing. Here the lid is a full 35cm Bigga frypan in its own right, with sturdy dual handles and a 4mm-thick iron body. Sear in batches across the Bigga's wide 30cm contact surface, build your base in the Deepa, bring them together, put the Bigga on top and let it braise. Off the pot, the Bigga goes straight back to work flipping burgers for the whole family, baking over coals or roasting a tray's worth of vegetables.

Built for Crowds, Camps and Big Cook-Ups

Ten litres of seasoned iron gives you the depth and volume for the cooking a frypan can't handle. Use the 10L Iron Dutch Oven for:

• Stocks, broths and bone broth in volume
• Sourdough boules and Dutch oven breads
• Whole-cut braises: pot roasts, brisket, osso buco and lamb shoulder
• Slow-cooked stews, casseroles and ragùs for a crowd
• Curries, biryanis and dahls for weekly meal prep
• Camp oven roasts and one-pot meals over the fire

Iron is excellent for searing, so you can brown proteins and aromatics in the Deepa first, then add your liquid and braise in the same pot. More flavour, and one less pan to wash.

Seamless One-Piece Iron Construction

Each piece is wrought from a single sheet of clean Australian iron, with no rivets, screws, welds or joins to loosen, trap food or fail. Wrought iron is denser and thinner-walled than cast iron, so it heats faster, responds quickly when you adjust the heat and is significantly lighter than an enamelled cast iron Dutch oven of comparable capacity. There is no enamel to chip or crack if it takes a knock at the campsite.

Every Heat Source, Indoors and Out

Both pieces are induction compatible and work on gas, electric and ceramic cooktops, in the oven, and outdoors on BBQs, pizza ovens and campfires. Each piece is designed to fit a standard 600mm domestic oven, though at this size we recommend checking your oven's internal dimensions before you buy.

Pre-Seasoned and Easy to Care For

Both pieces arrive pre-seasoned with non-GMO rice bran oil and ready to cook. The seasoning is a natural low-stick surface that builds with every cook rather than wearing out like a synthetic coating. After use, rinse with warm water, dry thoroughly and wipe over a light coat of oil. Hand wash only, no soap needed. A patchy appearance is completely normal for seasoned iron.

10L or 7.5L?

The 10L is the one for big families, entertainers, batch cookers and long weekends away. If you mostly cook for a household of four or fewer and want something easier to lift and store, the AUS-ION™ 7.5L Iron Dutch Oven pairs the 7.5L Deepa Pot with the 30cm Bigga Frypan.

Australian Made, Built for Generations

AUS-ION™ cookware is 100% Australian made in Sydney from clean Australian iron, and both pieces are backed by our multi-century warranty. With no coating to fail, the seasoned surface can always be renewed, making this a non-toxic, lighter alternative to a cast iron Dutch oven and a set built to be handed down, not thrown out.
