Product Information
Full details
The Cooks Professional 28cm Shallow Cast Iron Casserole is designed for home cooks who prioritize durability and flavor development in their daily meal preparation. With a 4.3L capacity, it is the ideal vessel for family-sized portions, searing meats, or slow-braising hearty stews. While its robust cast iron construction offers exceptional heat retention, users should be prepared for its significant weight, which requires careful handling when moving between the stovetop and the oven.

FAQs
Is this casserole dish induction compatible?
Yes, it is suitable for all hob types, including induction.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
While it may be labeled as dishwasher safe, hand washing is highly recommended to protect the enamel finish and prolong the life of the product.
Does the exterior enamel require special care?
Wipe the exterior clean after every use to prevent grease build-up, which can become difficult to remove if repeatedly burnt on.
Is the lid oven-safe?
Yes, the lid is designed to withstand oven temperatures along with the base unit.
Can I use metal utensils with this pot?
It is best to use silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to prevent scratching the vitreous enamel interior.
What is the capacity of this casserole?
The casserole has a 4.3L capacity, making it suitable for family-sized meals.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the bottom
Ensure you are using enough oil and allow the pan to preheat properly before adding ingredients. If sticking persists, soak in warm soapy water to loosen residues.
Enamel surface appears stained
For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the affected area, let it sit for 15 minutes, and gently wipe clean.
Pan is too heavy to move safely
Always use two hands with oven mitts and place a heat-resistant trivet nearby to minimize the distance the pan needs to be carried.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, wash the casserole in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. It is compatible with gas, electric, ceramic, and induction hobs. When cooking on a stovetop, match the burner size to the base of the pot for the most efficient heating. While the enamel is durable, avoid using metal utensils that may scratch or chip the surface; silicone or wooden tools are recommended. Allow the pot to cool naturally before washing to avoid thermal shock, which can crack the enamel. Hand washing with mild soap is recommended; avoid harsh scouring pads to preserve the integrity of the coating.
