The 2-in-1 Misen Dutch Oven That Raised Millions of Dollars on Kickstarter Is Finally Here
Misen
If you've long put off buying a Dutch oven because of steep prices, you're not alone. Some of the best Dutch ovens, after all, cost hundreds, and some budget-friendly options break or crack too easily. To combat those woes, Misen, the direct-to-consumer cookware company, designed a two-in-one Dutch oven that's actually affordable—and millions of dollars raised on Kickstarter and months of waiting, it's finally here.
Built from four layers of enamel, the durable 7-quart Dutch oven boasts a virtually nonstick surface, so you won't have to worry about food sticking to the bottom. With a base diameter that's one to two inches wider than competing versions, the piece has a large surface area on which to brown hunks of meat and sear everything from plump meatballs to caramelized onions. Plus, it has wide handles, allowing you to easily grip the sides and transfer it from the stovetop to the oven.

But what makes this Dutch oven different from the rest is that you can opt for a traditional lid or one that doubles as a grill pan. The grill pan lid is made from the same tough enamel as the Dutch oven base, complete with high ridges that give steaks and slabs of bread those coveted charred grill marks, while the traditional lid is outfitted with a large handle that's safe to put in the oven. No matter which Dutch oven you decide on, both come with an extra silicone lid and color choice of black and red.

Five-star reviews have already started pouring in, and shoppers are calling it the "superior Dutch oven" that "cooks like a dream." One customer even notes that they already can't imagine their kitchen without it.
"I am a professional chef and have both Le Creuset and Staub Dutch ovens," a five-star reviewer says. "I purchased this one because of the large size and price. I am so impressed! I've been using it daily and have nothing but good things to say about it. Quality, love the grill top lid, superb enamel will not even scratch after one month, and best of all, the value."
