Story A cast aluminum Dutch oven that brings the heat without the bulk Neru Design Works’s story is one of craftsmanship, materials and getting the most from a piece of gear, even if it takes time. It’s no surprise that the folks at Neru took as long as it took to develop a stunning, vintage-inspired Dutch oven, the AL Dutch. Instead of making it with cumbersome cast iron, they decided to craft it out of cast aluminum. This saves precious pounds and offers up an easier to clean than cast iron, making the Dutch oven a viable option for bringing along on an adventure. Every cowboy (and his horse) would have loved to strap this lightweight puppy onto the saddle. Features Comes with a lid, which helps provide that pressured heat Dutch ovens are known for The cast aluminum is barrel polished for a vintage look The lid is finished with a pattern reminiscent of Neguri processing, a traditional grain pattern that highlights the different soft and hard grains in a block of wood Boasts all the capability of traditional cast iron without the weight 1200ml capacity (1.26qts) Made in Japan Materials Cast Aluminum About Neru Design Works Japan-based Neru Design Works takes its camping tools seriously. The ideas of slow living and handmade craftsmanship are at the heart of everything the brand does, resulting in serious blades and timeless cookware. With forgeries at the epicenter of Japan’s most historically significant craft regions, the craftsmen Neru works with have years of experience themselves, but also represent the work of centuries past, retaining the precision and attention to detail that those who came before them built their name on. Not only is each tool purpose-built and made to stand up to the test of time, each is a work of art that will age beautifully if you take care of it the way it takes care of you.
