Key Features

Designed for searing, braising and everyday one-pan cooking, this shallow casserole gives meat and vegetables room to brown before they simmer gently under the lid. Cast iron holds steady heat, while the enamelled finish needs no seasoning and goes from hob to oven to table.

Wide Base for Better Browning

The wide base lets meat and vegetables sear in a single layer instead of steaming in a crowded pan.

Steady Heat for Tender Braising

Cast iron retains steady heat, while the lid helps keep moisture around the food as it cooks.

From Hob to Oven to Table

Sear on the hob, finish in the oven and serve from the same casserole.

Shallow Sides for Easier Cooking

Lower sides make it easier to turn and baste food, reduce sauces and serve straight from the pan.

No Seasoning, Easier Care

The enamelled surface is ready to use and easier to clean and maintain than bare cast iron.

Safe, Pure & Non-Toxic

Nothing but Iron and Glass.
Say goodbye to synthetic coatings that scratch, peel, and degrade over time. Our cookware features a premium enamel finish—essentially pure glass permanently bonded to a solid iron core.

This creates a stable, naturally non-toxic barrier, ensuring your food never touches raw metal. Because it’s completely non-reactive, you can slow-simmer acidic tomato sauces or bake sourdough with absolute peace of mind.

Crafted for clean cooking:
✓ Free from PFAS, PFOA & PTFE (No "forever chemicals")
✓ Free from Lead & Cadmium

Use & Care

Low to Medium Heat is All You Need
Cast iron holds heat beautifully. Skipping the high heat prevents food from sticking and protects your pan’s pristine enamel finish.

Keep it Scratch-Free
To keep the enamel looking brand new, reach for wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils instead of metal.

Oven-Safe up to 500°F (260°C)
Move seamlessly from stovetop to oven—perfect for baking your sourdough or slow-roasting a Sunday dinner.

Let it Cool First
Cast iron doesn't like sudden chills. Always let your hot pan cool to room temperature before washing to prevent the enamel from cracking or warping.

Simple Hand Wash
No harsh scrubbing or dishwashers needed. A quick wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is all it takes.

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.

  • Can I use this as an everyday cast iron pan?

    Yes! The wide, flat base works exactly like a standard cast iron skillet for frying eggs, searing steaks, or sautéing vegetables. The added benefit is the slightly higher sides, which help contain splatters and give you the flexibility to slow-cook.

  • 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.
