Cast Iron Gratins Dish with Wooden Base, ARTESA PANNA 12.5 cm, Oval, Black/Brown

ARTESA PANNA 12.5 cm is an oval cast-iron gratin dish designed for oven-to-table serving of individual portions. The compact 12.5 cm cast-iron insert pairs with a maple wooden base to present tapas, gratins and small roasts directly from the oven. The cast-iron dish is heavy-duty and suitable for temperatures up to 250 °C, while the wooden base protects surfaces and provides a warm, natural presentation.

Advantages

The cast-iron construction offers even heat distribution and good heat retention for consistent browning and keeping food warm at the table. The maple wooden base provides a practical and attractive serving platform that prevents direct contact between hot cast iron and table surfaces. The compact oval shape is space-saving and suitable for single portions, reducing the need for additional serving dishes.

Suitable for

• Individual gratins and au gratin dishes
• Tapas and small appetizer portions

How to use

Preheat the oven or grill up to the recommended maximum temperature of 250 °C. Place ingredients into the cast-iron insert and assemble it on the wooden base only after removing the dish from the oven to avoid exposing the wood to high heat. Use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when handling the hot cast-iron piece. Serve directly on the wooden base for table presentation and remove any excess liquid from the wooden surface after use.

Usage recommendations

Hand wash the cast-iron insert with warm water and a soft brush; avoid soaking or using harsh detergents that remove seasoning. Clean the maple wooden base separately with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not place the wooden base in the oven, microwave or dishwasher. Periodically re-season the cast-iron surface with a light coating of cooking oil if needed to maintain non-stick properties and prevent rust.
