Crafted from solid cast iron with a durable, easy-to-clean enamel finish. The wide, shallow design gives you plenty of room to get a perfect brown, while the shorter sides help sauces reduce in no time. Pop the heavy lid on to lock in moisture for a slow braise, or leave it off to build deep flavours. It moves effortlessly from hob to oven to table, keeping your meal piping hot long after cooking.

  • Non-Toxic Materials: Free from lead, cadmium and PFOA. Seal at high heat or simmer acidic tomato sauces with total peace of mind.
  • Serves Hot, Stays Hot: Heavy cast iron holds onto heat long after leaving the stove, keeping second helpings just as warm as the first.
  • Zero-Fuss Enamel: Unlike white interiors that show every mark, our black enamel hides the mess and stays looking great without any babying.

Non-Toxic & Safe

Just Iron and Glass.
Forget coating layers that degrade. Our cookware uses a premium enamel finish—essentially glass bonded to the iron core.
It acts as a stable, non-toxic barrier, meaning your food never touches raw metal. It’s completely non-reactive (safe for acidic foods like tomatoes or sourdough starter) and ready for the oven.

Free from:

  • PFAS, PFOA, & PTFE
  • Lead & Cadmium

Use & Care

Low and Slow (Stovetop)
Cast iron holds heat incredibly well, so you rarely need to blast it on the stove. Stick to low or medium heat to prevent food from sticking and to protect the enamel.
(Note: High heat is perfectly fine in the oven for baking!)

The Right Tools
Keep the enamel finish looking fresh by using wood or silicone utensils. Metal tools can scratch the glass surface over time, so it's best to avoid them.

Easy Cleaning
A quick hand wash with warm soapy water keeps it shining. The enamel releases food easily, but if something gets stuck, just let it soak for 15 minutes before washing. No aggressive scrubbing needed.

Oven Ready
Your cookware is built for baking. It is oven-safe up to 260°C (500°F), making it compatible with almost any sourdough or roast recipe.

Avoid Thermal Shock
Enamel hates sudden temperature changes. Never plunge a hot pot straight into cold water. Let it cool down on the bench gradually before washing.

FAQs

  • Which size should I choose: 2.1L or 2.8L?

    The 2.1L casserole is ideal if you usually cook for one or two people and want something that handles weeknight pasta bakes, small casseroles, roasted vegetables, or shallow braises without feeling oversized. The 2.8L size is better if you regularly cook for three or four people, prefer family-style portions, or like having leftovers. It gives you more surface area and depth for larger braises, bigger pasta bakes, and holiday side dishes.

  • What is this pan better at than a regular deep casserole or frying pan?

    A deep casserole (or Dutch oven) is perfect for soups and big stews, and a frying pan shines for quick sears. But this shallow casserole is built for dishes that start with a good sear and finish in the oven. It gives you a wide base for browning in a single layer, low sides that help sauces reduce and edges crisp, and a lid that keeps food juicy. You can sear chicken thighs, reduce a sauce, and bake everything to a bubbling finish in one pan.

  • Can I sear on the hob and then finish in the oven?

    Yes, this is exactly how the pan is meant to be used. You can sear over medium or medium-high heat on gas, electric, ceramic, or induction hobs, and then slide the whole casserole straight into a hot oven to finish cooking. Just avoid shocking a very hot pan with very cold liquids; instead, let ingredients lose their chill a little and add liquids gradually to protect the enamel and get steady, even cooking.

  • Will food stick? Is this non-stick?

    The smooth enamel makes food release more easily than bare cast iron, but it is not a Teflon-style non-stick surface. You still need to preheat the pan, use a bit of oil or butter, and give food time to develop a sear before you move it. For melty, sticky dishes like cheesy pasta or potato bakes, a light coating of fat is usually enough to keep cleanup easy. Any baked-on bits will soften with a short soak in warm, soapy water and can be wiped away with a soft sponge or nylon scrubber.

  • Do I need to season it? Is the enamel safe?

    You do not need to season this casserole. The enamel completely covers the cast iron and protects it from rust, meaning you can wash it with regular dish soap and water. The enamel itself is non-reactive and food-safe, so you can simmer tomato sauces, wine-based braises, and other acidic dishes without worrying about off flavours, metallic tastes, or special maintenance routines.

  • Can I use it on all hobs and under the grill?

    Yes, the casserole works on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction hobs, and it is oven-safe up to 260°C. This means you can bake, roast, and finish dishes under high heat or under the grill if needed. Just make sure to lift the pan rather than drag it across glass or ceramic cooktops to prevent scratches, and use proper oven mitts when moving it between the hob and oven.

  • Is it heavy and easy to handle when it is full?

    The pan has the reassuring weight of real cast iron, but the shallow shape and wide, easy-grip handles make it easier to move than a deep casserole of similar capacity. When it is hot and full of food, it is best to use two hands with thick oven mitts. If possible, pull the oven rack out slightly and rest the pan on it while you stir, baste, or serve, rather than carrying it around at arm’s length.

  • How should I clean and care for it? Can it go in the dishwasher?

    Let the pan cool down first, then wash it with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. For stuck-on bits, simply soak it for a while before gently scrubbing to avoid harsh scouring that can dull the enamel. Although the casserole can go through the dishwasher now and then without harming its basic function, regular hand washing is kinder to the finish and will keep it looking better over the long term.

  • Can I use metal utensils in this pan?

    Wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils are the best match because they are quiet, gentle, and will keep the enamel looking smooth. While careful use of metal utensils will not instantly ruin the pan, repeated scraping with metal over time can leave visible marks. If you care about keeping the interior looking as pristine as possible, it is smarter to stick with softer tools.
