Full details
The Karaca Swiss Crystal Casserole in Almond Cream is ideal for home cooks seeking a healthier, easier-to-clean cookware option. Its primary benefit is superior non-stick performance thanks to its real Swiss crystal-infused surface, allowing oil-free cooking.

FAQs
Is the 14cm size suitable for a family?
The 14cm size is generally best suited for individual portions, small side dishes, or reheating small amounts of food. For families, larger cookware might be more appropriate.
Can I use metal utensils with this casserole?
It is highly recommended to use only wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to protect the integrity and longevity of the SwissCrystal non-stick coating.
How do I maintain the non-stick properties?
Avoid abrasive cleaners, metal utensils, and extreme temperature shocks. Always preheat the pan gently and wash it promptly after use.
Is the casserole truly oil-free cooking?
The advanced SwissCrystal surface provides excellent non-stick properties, allowing for cooking with minimal to no added oil. However, a tiny amount of oil can sometimes enhance flavor and browning.
Can I put this casserole in the dishwasher?
Yes, the Karaca Swiss Crystal Casserole is dishwasher safe for your convenience.
What materials is the non-stick surface made of?
The non-stick surface is an advanced SwissCrystal coating, which is infused with real Swiss crystals and is free from PFAS and PFOA chemicals.
Can I use this on an induction cooktop?
Yes, this casserole features an induction-compatible base, making it suitable for use on all types of stovetops, including induction.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the surface.
Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding food and that you are using the recommended amount of oil (if any). Avoid using metal utensils which can damage the coating.
Uneven heating.
Verify that the casserole is centered on the stovetop burner and that the heat setting is appropriate. If using induction, ensure the cookware base is fully in contact with the hob.
Discoloration of the non-stick surface.
Overheating or cooking with certain acidic ingredients at very high temperatures can cause discoloration. Reduce heat and avoid prolonged cooking of highly acidic foods at high temperatures.
Handle becoming loose.
Periodically check the handle's attachment. If it becomes loose, it may require tightening, but do not attempt to force it. Contact customer support if tightening is not possible.
