FAQs

Can I use metal utensils with these casseroles?

While the enamel interior is durable, it is best to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to prolong the life of the enamel coating and prevent scratches.

Are these casseroles non-stick?

The enamel interior provides a naturally non-reactive surface. While not a 'non-stick' coating in the traditional sense (like PTFE), proper preheating and the use of cooking fats help prevent food from sticking.

How do I clean burnt-on food?

For burnt-on food, fill the casserole with warm water and a little dish soap, let it soak for a few hours or overnight, then gently scrape and wash. For tougher bits, you can simmer a mixture of water and a tablespoon of baking soda for 15-20 minutes before cleaning.

What is the difference between the 26cm and 28cm dishes?

The 26cm dish has a larger capacity (5.8L) and is deeper (11.5cm internal height), making it suitable for larger portions of stews or roasts. The 28cm dish has a slightly smaller capacity (4.3L) and is shallower (8cm internal height), making it better suited for dishes like pasta bakes, paellas, or shallow braises.

Can I put the lid in the oven?

Yes, the lid is oven safe. However, the handles on both the lid and the casserole body can become very hot, so always use appropriate oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves.

What is the warranty period for this set?

Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Are these casseroles heavy?

Yes, cast iron cookware is inherently heavy due to the material's density. The weights range from 3.5kg for the 20cm dish to over 6kg for the larger ones. Please handle with care.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the bottom

Ensure sufficient cooking fat or oil is used. Preheating the casserole on the hob before adding ingredients can also help. For stubborn residue, soak the dish in warm, soapy water and then gently clean.

Enamel chipping

Avoid dropping the casserole or hitting it against hard surfaces. If minor chips occur, they generally do not affect cooking performance but can be a cosmetic concern. For significant damage, consider replacing the dish.

Discoloration of the interior

This can sometimes occur with high-heat cooking or certain acidic ingredients. It is usually superficial and can often be removed with a gentle cleaner or by simmering a mixture of water and baking soda in the dish.

Handles feel hot

The cast iron handles will become hot during cooking. Always use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when handling a hot casserole dish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat distribution and retention for consistent cooking.
  • Self-basting lids lock in moisture, enhancing food's tenderness and flavor.
  • Suitable for a wide range of heat sources, offering great versatility.
  • Durable cast iron construction ensures a long lifespan.
  • Non-reactive, chemical-free enamel interior is easy to clean and maintains food integrity.
  • Includes three different sizes (2.8L, 4.3L, 5.8L) to accommodate various meal preparations.

Cons

  • Requires hand washing only; not dishwasher safe.
  • Cast iron can be heavy, requiring careful handling.
  • Does not include lids with heat-resistant handles for direct oven-to-table transfer if extreme heat is used.
  • The enamel coating, while durable, can chip if subjected to severe impact.
  • Not suitable for microwave use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. The casserole dishes are ready to use upon unpacking.

Compatibility: These casseroles are compatible with a wide range of heat sources:

  • Induction
  • Electric
  • Gas
  • Ceramic
  • Halogen
  • Solid Fuel

They are also oven safe up to 260°C and can be used under a grill.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: These casseroles are hand wash only. Use warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive scourers or harsh cleaning chemicals, which can damage the enamel.
  • Drying: Dry thoroughly immediately after washing to prevent water spots or rust (though the enamel coating significantly reduces this risk compared to bare cast iron).
  • Storage: Store in a dry place. Ensure lids are not sealed tightly if storing for extended periods to allow air circulation.
  • Avoid Thermal Shock: Do not plunge a hot casserole dish into cold water, as extreme temperature changes can crack the cast iron or enamel.
