Cast Iron Shallow Pot 30 cm 3 L Atusa (Sea Salt finish)

The Atusa Cast Iron Shallow Pot 30 cm 3 L in Sea Salt finish is a durable cookware piece designed for even heat distribution and long-term use. With a 30 cm diameter and 3-litre capacity, this shallow pot suits a range of stovetop and oven applications. Its cast iron construction retains heat effectively, making it suitable for slow cooking, braising and skillet-style preparations while also serving at the table.

Advantages

The cast iron body provides consistent, even heating and excellent heat retention for steady simmering and long cooks. The shallow profile and wide cooking surface support efficient evaporation and reducing, useful for casseroles, stews and seared ingredients. The Sea Salt finish offers a neutral, textured appearance that resists wear and conceals minor surface marks while maintaining the metal’s durability. Designed for both stovetop and oven use, the pot transitions easily from cooking to serving.

Suitable for

• Braising meat and vegetables

How to use

Preheat the pan gradually on the chosen heat source to avoid thermal shock and ensure even heating. Use medium to low heat for slow cooking and braising; increase heat briefly for searing. Add a small amount of cooking fat to prevent sticking when cooking proteins or delicate ingredients. When moving from stovetop to oven, use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves and place the pot on an oven rack or tray. After cooking, allow the pot to cool slightly before cleaning to avoid sudden temperature changes.

Usage recommendations

Season the cast iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions before first use if required. Clean with warm water and a soft brush; avoid abrasive detergents and dishwashers to prolong the finish. Dry thoroughly and apply a thin layer of cooking oil if storing for extended periods to prevent rust. For best results with the shallow 30 cm pot, monitor liquid levels during long simmers and adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer rather than a hard boil.
