Product Information
Full details
The Judge Enamelled Cast Iron 20cm Casserole is an ideal choice for home cooks who appreciate the durability of traditional cast iron combined with a modern, elegant aesthetic. It excels at tasks like slow-cooking, searing, and oven-to-table serving thanks to its 3.5L capacity and even heat retention, though users should be aware that the cast iron construction makes it heavier than standard stainless steel or aluminum cookware.

FAQs
Is this casserole induction compatible?

Can I put the brass knob in the oven?
The brushed gold brass knob is designed for oven use, but caution is advised as it will become very hot during cooking.

How do I claim the 25-year guarantee?
Keep your proof of purchase and contact the manufacturer or retailer through which the product was acquired to register or initiate a claim.
Does it need to be seasoned like raw cast iron?

Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the bottom
Ensure the pan is adequately preheated with a small amount of oil or fat before adding ingredients; use lower heat settings for delicate foods.
Stubborn burnt-on stains
Soak the pan in warm, soapy water for 30 minutes, then use a non-abrasive sponge to gently lift the residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your casserole, avoid metal utensils that could scratch the enamel coating; silicone or wooden tools are highly recommended. While the item is dishwasher safe, hand washing with mild detergent is suggested to maintain the luster of the finish over time.
For hob use, match the pan size to the burner size to prevent overheating the sides. If using on an induction hob, avoid dragging the pot across the glass surface to prevent scratches. Always allow the pot to cool naturally before submerging it in water to prevent thermal shock, which can damage the enamel coating.
