Cast iron enamel pot Atusa 22 cm 3 L green

The Atusa cast iron enamel pot, 22 cm diameter with a 3 L capacity in green, is a heavy-duty cookware piece designed for slow cooking, simmering and serving. Its enameled cast iron construction delivers even heat distribution and excellent heat retention, making it suitable for stews, soups, braises and other recipes that require stable cooking temperatures. The enamel surface on both the interior and exterior helps resist sticking, simplifies cleaning and avoids the need for seasoning associated with bare cast iron.

Advantages

The enamel-coated cast iron body provides consistent heat across the cooking surface and holds temperature for prolonged periods, allowing gentle simmering and controlled cooking. The non-reactive enamel interior prevents food from picking up metallic flavours and makes the pot easier to clean than untreated cast iron. Its robust build is compatible with stovetop and oven use, and the integrated shape retains liquids and aromas for serving at the table.

Suitable for

• Slow-cooked stews, casseroles and braised meats
• Soups, broths and chili
• Searing followed by oven finishing for one-pot meals
• Serving food directly from pot to table
• Low to medium-heat simmering and maintaining warm dishes

When it may not be suitable

This 3 L, 22 cm pot is compact and may be insufficient for large families or when preparing large roasts; for those needs a larger capacity Dutch oven is recommended. The enamel surface, while durable, can chip if subjected to sharp impacts or abrasive cleaning, so it is not ideal for rough handling or metal utensil scraping.

Key specifications

• Material: Enameled cast iron body and interior
• Diameter: 22 cm
• Capacity: 3 litres
• Finish: Green enamel exterior and enamel interior
• Compatible heat sources: Gas, electric, ceramic and oven use
• Suitable cooking methods: Slow cooking, simmering, braising, oven finishing

How to use

Place the pot on a compatible heat source and preheat gradually to avoid thermal shock to the enamel. Use low to medium heat for simmering and slow cooking; sear ingredients briefly on higher heat if needed, then transfer to the oven for even finishing. Avoid sudden extreme temperature changes such as moving the hot pot to cold water. Use silicone, wooden or nylon utensils to protect the enamel surface during stirring and serving. After use, allow the pot to cool before cleaning and wash with warm soapy water; avoid harsh abrasives to preserve the enamel.

What to consider before purchase

• Capacity and size relative to household needs (3 L, 22 cm diameter)
• Weight and handling: cast iron is heavy and requires careful lifting
• Compatibility with your stovetop and oven dimensions
• Care requirements: avoid abrasive cleaners and sudden temperature shocks

Usage recommendations

For best results use moderate heat settings, preheat slowly, and finish cooking in the oven when a consistent internal temperature is required. Clean with non-abrasive tools and dry thoroughly before storage to maintain enamel condition.
