Full details
This IBILI Inducta 20 cm casserole is ideal for home cooks seeking a versatile, non-stick cooking vessel compatible with all stovetops. Its key benefit is efficient and even heating with easy food release, though the 2.5 mm thickness means it may not retain heat as long as heavier cast iron options. It features a durable non-stick coating, a tempered glass lid, and comfortable Bakelite handles.

FAQs
Is this casserole truly compatible with induction cooktops?
Yes, the IBILI Inducta series is specifically designed to be compatible with induction cooktops, along with gas, electric, and halogen stovetops.
Can I use metal utensils with this casserole?
It is not recommended to use metal utensils as they can scratch and damage the non-stick coating, reducing its effectiveness and lifespan. Opt for wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils.
How do I best maintain the non-stick coating?
To maximize the life of the non-stick coating, handwash with a soft sponge and mild detergent, avoid abrasive cleaners, and use appropriate utensils. Preheating the pan slightly before adding food can also help.
Is the glass lid oven-safe?
The product description does not specify oven-safety for the glass lid or the casserole itself. It's best to assume it is not oven-safe unless explicitly stated otherwise.
What are the dimensions of the casserole?
This specific model has a diameter of 20 cm and a thickness of 2.5 mm.
How should I clean the casserole if I don't have a dishwasher?
Handwash the casserole with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive materials. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Does the 'Inducta' series come in other sizes?
Yes, the IBILI Inducta series is available in other sizes. For example, 16 cm, 24 cm, and 28 cm versions exist, some with glass lids.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the surface
Ensure the pan is adequately preheated and use a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the non-stick coating. If sticking persists, the non-stick layer may be degraded and require replacement.
Uneven heating
Verify that the stovetop burner is centered and appropriately sized for the casserole base. Ensure the cooking surface is level.
Handle feels loose
Check if the rivets securing the handle have become loose. For safety, do not use if the handle is significantly wobbly. Contact customer support if applicable.
Stains on the exterior or interior
For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and left for a short period before rinsing. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Care:
- Cleaning: While the casserole is dishwasher safe, handwashing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating for longer.

- Use nylon, silicone, or wooden utensils to prevent scratching the interior.
- Allow the casserole to cool before washing to prevent thermal shock, which can warp the pan.
