Tramontina Enamelled Cast Iron Casserole / Black

An easy-to-maintain enamelled cast iron casserole and lid that works on all hobs (including induction and AGA) and lasts a lifetime.

---DETAILS--- This heavy-duty cast iron casserole (also called Dutch oven or cocotte) is perfect for making stews, curries, soup, and homemade bread. It is oven safe up to 260°C and works on all hobs including induction and AGA. It belongs to the upgraded Trento range from Tramontina, which features an extra-durable base reinforced with glass particles so it can withstand higher levels of direct heat, as well as better weight distribution between the pan and the lid. Cast iron is known for getting extremely hot and retaining that heat, but requires extra care and maintenance in order to build a layer of 'seasoning'—but that extra effort is not necessary when a pan is enamelled, making this casserole user-friendly to boot. The enamel is black and slightly textured, which makes it easier to clean and more effective at browning food (as opposed to the more common white enamelled cast iron). The tapered base allows this pan to reduce liquid beautifully. A secure lid with a stainless steel knob retains moisture very well. Due to its heavy construction, it will last a lifetime of heavy use.

---BENEFITS--- 'A reliable cast iron casserole is a must in any kitchen—especially when you want to take food from the hob or oven to the table, where it will stay warm for a considerable amount of time thanks to cast iron's heat-retaining properties.'
