7.5L Iron Dutch Oven – AUS-ION™ | Australian-Made Iron Dutch Oven & Camp Oven

The AUS-ION™ 7.5L Iron Dutch Oven pairs two pieces made to work together: the 7.5L Iron Deepa Pot and the 30cm Bigga Iron Frypan. Both share a 30cm diameter, so the Bigga doubles as the lid, turning the pair into an 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 still have two everyday workhorses: a deep pot for soups, stocks and curries, and a dual-handle frypan for searing, roasting and pies.

What's in the Set

• AUS-ION™ 7.5L Iron Deepa Pot: 30cm diameter, 7.5L capacity, 3.3kg
• AUS-ION™ 30cm Bigga Iron Frypan: 30cm diameter, 25cm stovetop contact, 2.5L capacity, dual handles, 39cm total length, 4mm-thick iron, 2.6kg

Together the set weighs 5.9kg.

One Lid, Two Jobs

A conventional Dutch oven comes with a lid that only ever does one thing. Here the lid is a full 30cm Bigga frypan in its own right, with sturdy dual handles and a 4mm-thick iron body. Sear your meat in the Bigga, brown your aromatics 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 as a frypan for steaks, frittatas, roast vegetables and family pies.

Made for Bread, Braises and the Campfire

Iron holds heat beautifully, which is exactly what a Dutch oven needs. Use the 7.5L Iron Dutch Oven for:

• Sourdough boules and Dutch oven breads
• Slow-cooked stews, casseroles and ragùs
• Pot roasts and braised cuts like lamb shank, osso buco and beef cheek
• Soups, broths and stocks
• Curries, dahls and biryanis
• Camp oven roasts and one-pot meals over the fire

At 7.5 litres it suits weeknight family cooking as easily as a weekend braise, with a 30cm footprint that sits comfortably on a standard burner.

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 easier to lift than an enamelled cast iron Dutch oven. 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, so you can go from stovetop sear to oven braise without changing vessels.

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.

7.5L or 10L?

The 7.5L is the everyday size: big enough for a family braise or a loaf of sourdough, and easy to lift, wash and store. If you regularly cook for a crowd or batch cook stocks and curries in volume, step up to the AUS-ION™ 10L Iron Dutch Oven, which pairs the 10L Deepa Pot with the 35cm 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.
