Product Information
Full details
The Stellar Cast Light Casserole is designed for home cooks who desire the superior heat retention of traditional cast iron without the heavy lifting, offering a 50% lighter build that makes it ideal for daily use. While its enamel-coated interior provides excellent searing capabilities and builds a natural non-stick patina over time, users should be mindful that the lid has a lower temperature threshold than the pot body, requiring adjustments for high-heat oven roasting.

FAQs
Is this casserole induction compatible?
Yes, the Stellar Cast Light Casserole is fully compatible with all hob types, including induction.
Can I put the lid in the oven at 200°C?
No, the lid is only oven safe up to 180°C. Please use a different lid or cover with foil if baking at higher temperatures.
Is the interior really non-stick?
It features a textured honeycomb enamel that builds a natural non-stick layer over time with regular use and proper seasoning.
How do I maintain the gold-toned handles?
Wipe the handles with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the brushed gold finish.
Does the 25-year guarantee cover the enamel coating?
The guarantee covers manufacturing defects. Please refer to the documentation provided by Stellar for specific exclusions regarding normal wear and tear.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the interior
Ensure you are preheating the pan properly and using a small amount of oil. Allow the honeycomb texture to build up a natural non-stick patina over several uses.
Enamel surface dulling
Avoid using harsh chemicals or dishwasher cycles. Clean only with mild dish soap and a soft sponge to maintain the luster of the olive-green enamel.
Handles feeling loose
Periodically check the connection points. If the handles appear loose, ensure they are clean and check that any accessible fixing screws are tightened carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, wash the casserole in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Although the interior is enamel-coated, it is recommended to use silicone or wooden utensils to preserve the honeycomb surface. For cleaning, hand washing is highly recommended to protect the exterior olive-green enamel and the gold-toned handles. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads. If food residue becomes stuck, soak the pot in warm, soapy water rather than using metal scrapers. Always use oven mitts when handling, as the brushed gold handles conduct heat during stovetop and oven use.
