Product Information

Full details

The Tramontina Titanex Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Casserole is an essential kitchen companion for home cooks who prioritize heat retention and culinary versatility in slow-cooked meals. Ideal for preparing stews, casseroles, and braised dishes, this 3.1-litre vessel offers a reliable, durable build suitable for a variety of stovetops and oven temperatures up to 260°C. While it excels in performance and heat stability, users should be prepared for the maintenance required of high-quality cast iron, as it is not suitable for dishwasher use and requires careful cleaning to preserve its finish.

FAQs

Can I use metal utensils with this casserole?

While the cast iron is durable, we recommend using silicone or wooden utensils to maintain the surface finish and longevity of the seasoning.

Is the lid oven-safe?

The toughened glass lid is oven-safe, but always check the temperature limit and avoid thermal shock by not placing it directly from the freezer into a hot oven.

Does it require seasoning before the first use?

No, it comes pre-seasoned, but applying a very light coat of oil after each wash can help maintain the natural non-stick surface over time.

Can this be used on an induction hob?

Yes, this casserole is fully compatible with all types of induction, electric, and gas hobs.

What is the warranty coverage?

It comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the surface.

The pot may need to be re-seasoned. Clean the pot, apply a light coat of cooking oil, and heat it gently on the stove or in the oven.

Spots of rust appearing.

Gently scrub the rusted area with a non-metallic brush or sponge, wash, dry immediately, and apply a thin layer of oil to seal the surface.

Silicone grips feel loose.

Ensure the silicone grips are fully seated over the handles. They are designed for easy removal for cleaning and oven use.
