Product Information

Full details

The Tramontina Enamelled Cast Iron 28cm Casserole is a versatile kitchen essential ideal for home cooks looking to master slow-cooked meals, hearty stews, and artisan breads with professional results. Its core benefit is the superior heat retention and moisture-locking lid that ensures tender, flavorful cooking, though users should note that the heavy cast-iron construction requires careful handling due to its substantial weight when full.

FAQs

Is this casserole dishwasher safe?

While some enamel cookware is labeled dishwasher safe, it is highly recommended to hand wash this piece to preserve the vibrant exterior finish and the integrity of the enamel over time.

Can I use this on an induction stovetop?

Yes, the cast iron base is fully compatible with induction hobs.

What is the maximum oven temperature?

The casserole is safe for use in ovens up to 230°C.

Does the pot require seasoning like traditional cast iron?

No, the porcelain-enamel coating acts as a non-porous barrier, meaning it does not require seasoning before use.

How do I handle the lid when it is hot?

Always use thick, dry oven mitts or heat-resistant silicone handle covers when touching the lid or the handles of the pot during and after cooking.

What should I do if the enamel chips?

If the interior enamel chips, the pot should no longer be used for cooking, as the raw cast iron underneath may rust and become exposed to food.

Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the interior

Ensure you are using sufficient oil or fat and avoid overheating the pot. Soak in warm soapy water to loosen residues rather than scrubbing with metal pads.

Enamel surface appears dull or stained

Use a paste of baking soda and water to gently clean stubborn stains. Avoid acidic cleaners like bleach.

Handles feel loose

Check the connection points and ensure any decorative or assembly screws (if applicable) are tightened, though the main structure is one solid piece of iron.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Tramontina Casserole, avoid using metal utensils that may scratch the enamel finish; opt for silicone or wooden tools instead. When cooking, gradually increase heat rather than using high settings immediately to prevent thermal shock, which can damage the enamel.

Hand wash the cookware with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge after it has cooled completely. While the finish is durable, avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive cleansers. Always dry the pot thoroughly before storing it to maintain its quality over the lifetime of the product. The casserole is compatible with all stove types, including induction, and is safe for use in ovens up to 230°C.
