3.4L enamel-coated cast iron casserole, oven safe to 240°C and compatible with all hob types including induction. Self-basting lid recirculates steam for tender results and the finish is PFAS-free with a lifetime cover included.
Tender, flavour-packed results - with a self-basting lid
The self-basting lid continuously recirculates steam during cooking, returning moisture to the food rather than letting it escape. Steam movement keeps internal temperatures even while preventing excessive drying.
Expect juicier slow-cooked meats and casseroles without frequent lid lifting. Flavours concentrate naturally, so dishes stay moist and tender throughout long cooks.
Even cooking and reliable searing - with enamel-coated cast iron
Enamel-coated cast iron stores and spreads heat across the base and sides, maintaining steady temperatures for low-and-slow techniques and high-heat searing alike. The enamel finish adds a non-reactive cooking surface.
Consistent simmering reduces hotspots and yields evenly cooked stews and roasts. Browning on the hob creates a good sear before finishing in the oven.
Hob-to-table convenience - with oven-safe, induction-ready design
Safe up to 240°C and compatible with all hob types, including induction, the construction handles both direct hob heat and oven roasting without needing a transfer. The cream finish offers an attractive look for serving.
Sear, simmer and bring straight to the table for family meals, eliminating extra dishes. A stylish finish means the pot doubles as a serving piece.
