Product Information
Full details
The Robert Welch 316 Series Low Casserole is an ideal choice for home cooks who prioritize durability and heat precision in their cookware. This 28cm vessel is designed for versatile tasks like searing, braising, and one-pot stovetop-to-oven cooking, offering superior moisture retention through its close-fitting lid. While its professional-grade 316 stainless steel construction ensures a lifetime of performance, the premium materials result in a heavier pan that may require more deliberate handling compared to lightweight aluminum alternatives.

FAQs
Is this pan induction compatible?
Yes, the Robert Welch 316 Series is fully compatible with all hob types, including induction.
Can I put this pan in the oven?
Yes, this casserole is oven safe up to 240C.
Is it safe to use metal utensils with this pan?
While the 316 stainless steel is very durable, it is recommended to use silicone or wooden utensils to maintain the pristine appearance of the cooking surface.
What does 316 stainless steel mean?
316 grade stainless steel contains molybdenum, which increases its resistance to corrosion, pitting, and acidic ingredients compared to standard 304 grade steel.
Can I wash this in the dishwasher?
Yes, it is dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the exterior finish.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn food residue sticking to the base
Fill the pan with warm, soapy water and let it soak for 30 minutes. Gently remove loosened debris with a non-abrasive nylon scrub brush.
Discoloration or rainbow-like marks on the base
This is often caused by mineral deposits or overheating; clean the area with a dedicated stainless steel cleaner or a paste of white vinegar and baking soda.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before the first use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue. The 316 Series is compatible with gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops. When cooking on induction, ensure you match the pan size to the hob ring for maximum energy efficiency.
While the casserole is dishwasher safe, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is recommended to maintain the exterior mirror finish over time. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or metal utensils, as they can mar the polished surface. If food becomes stuck, soak the pan in warm soapy water rather than scraping with sharp tools.
