FAQs

What is the capacity of this casserole dish?

This casserole dish has a capacity of 2.3 liters.

Is this dish suitable for induction cooktops?

Yes, this cast iron casserole dish is compatible with all stovetops, including induction.

Can I use metal utensils with this dish?

It is recommended to use wood, silicone, or nylon utensils to protect the enamel coating and prevent scratching. Metal utensils should be avoided.

How do I clean the casserole dish?

Clean the dish with warm water and mild dish soap using a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Dry it thoroughly immediately after washing, preferably by heating it on a low setting on the stovetop.

Is this dish dishwasher safe?

No, this casserole dish is not dishwasher safe. Washing by hand is required to maintain the integrity of the enamel coating.

Can I use this dish in the microwave?

No, this cast iron casserole dish should not be used in a microwave.

What does 'self-basting' mean for the lid?

The lid has small bumps on the underside that capture steam and condensation during cooking. This moisture then drips back down onto the food, keeping it tender and moist without needing to open the lid frequently.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the surface

Ensure the dish was properly preheated before adding food and that sufficient cooking fat (oil or butter) was used. If sticking persists, check that the enamel coating is intact. Clean thoroughly and ensure even drying.

Stains on the enamel

For stubborn food stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stained area, let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Chipped enamel

Minor chips may not affect cooking performance but should be handled with care. Avoid using metal utensils in chipped areas. For significant damage, consider replacing the dish.

Dish feels heavy or difficult to maneuver

This is normal for cast iron. Use oven mitts or pot holders for safe handling when hot. When moving on the stovetop, slide it rather than lifting if possible.

Pros and Cons

  • Self-basting lid enhances moisture and flavor.
  • Durable and long-lasting material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The dish is ready to use upon arrival. Ensure it is clean before its first use.

Compatibility: This casserole dish is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic. It is also oven-safe, allowing for seamless transitions from stovetop to oven.

Care:

  1. Preheating: Always preheat cast iron gradually over low to medium heat to prevent thermal shock.
  2. Cooking: Use wood, silicone, or nylon utensils to protect the enamel coating. Avoid metal utensils that can scratch.
  3. Cleaning: After use, allow the dish to cool slightly. Wash with warm water and mild dish soap using a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Avoid harsh detergents and steel wool.
  4. Drying: Thoroughly dry the dish immediately after washing with a soft towel. For best results and to prevent rust, place the clean, dry dish on the stovetop over low heat for a few minutes to ensure all moisture evaporates.
  5. Storage: Store in a dry place. If stacking, place a protective cloth or paper towel between dishes to prevent scratching.

Do Not: Do not use in a dishwasher or microwave. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
