Product Information

Full details

This 30 cm cast iron braiser is designed for home cooks who prioritize durability and heat retention in their kitchenware. Its primary benefit is the ability to provide consistent, even heat distribution across various cooking styles, including frying, stewing, and baking. While it offers exceptional longevity and thermal performance, users should be prepared for the heavy weight of the material and the requirement for specific maintenance to prevent rust compared to non-stick alternatives.

FAQs

Is this pot dishwasher safe?

No, you must hand-wash this cast iron pot to preserve its seasoning and prevent rust.

Can I use metal utensils with this?

Yes, cast iron is durable, but silicone or wooden utensils are recommended to protect the integrity of your seasoning.

Does the glass lid go in the oven?

It is recommended to only use the metal pot in the oven and remove the glass lid as it may not withstand the same temperatures as the iron base.

How do I know if the pan needs seasoning?

If food begins to stick more than usual, or if the surface starts looking dull or gray rather than black and shiny, it is time for a new layer of seasoning.

Can I use this on an induction stove?

Yes, this cast iron pot is fully compatible with induction hobs due to its magnetic iron content.

Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the surface

The pan likely needs more seasoning. Clean the surface, apply a thin coat of oil, and heat it on the stove until it lightly smokes, then let it cool.

Signs of rust appearing

Scrub the rusted area with steel wool, wash thoroughly, dry completely, and repeat the seasoning process to restore the protective layer.

Pot feels too heavy to lift

Always use two hands on the side handles and ensure you have a clear, flat surface nearby to set the pot down immediately upon removal from the heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat retention for consistent cooking results
  • Extremely durable construction built to last for generations
  • Versatile design allows for stovetop searing and oven baking
  • Pre-seasoned finish provides a head start on non-stick properties
  • Compatible with all major hob types including induction

Cons

  • Requires manual hand washing and drying to prevent rust
  • Significantly heavier than aluminum or stainless steel pans
  • Needs periodic re-seasoning to maintain its protective surface
  • Glass lid is not suitable for high-heat oven temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your cast iron, always preheat the pan slowly over medium heat. While the pot is induction, gas, and electric compatible, avoid dragging it across glass or ceramic cooktops to prevent surface scratches. After each use, wash the pan with warm water and a stiff brush; avoid harsh detergents which can strip the seasoning. Immediately dry the pot thoroughly over a low burner to remove all moisture. Apply a very thin layer of vegetable oil to the surface before storing to protect against oxidation. Note that the included glass lid should be hand-washed and is not intended for use in the oven at high temperatures.
