Cast Iron Enamelled Casserole 24 cm, 4 L — Atusa (orange)

The Cast Iron Enamelled Casserole 24 cm, 4 L — Atusa (orange) is a heavy-duty cookware item engineered for consistent heat distribution and long-term heat retention. Its 24 cm diameter and 4-litre capacity make it suitable for preparing medium-sized portions for family meals. The enameled interior and exterior provide a smooth, non-reactive cooking surface that resists sticking and simplifies cleaning, while the cast iron core ensures steady, even cooking on both stovetop and in the oven.

Advantages

This Atusa enameled cast iron casserole combines the thermal mass of cast iron with a durable enamel coating that prevents metal-to-food contact, reducing the need for constant stirring and minimizing flavor alteration. The enamel finish is resistant to staining and easier to maintain than raw cast iron, and the heavy lid helps trap moisture and heat for efficient braising and slow cooking. Designed for versatility, it performs well over low and moderate heat and is compatible with a variety of heat sources.

Suitable for

• Braising meats and vegetables
• Preparing stews, soups and casseroles
• Slow-cooking and simmering
• Oven roasting and finishing dishes
• Everyday family meals and batch cooking

How to use

Preheat the casserole gradually to avoid thermal shock to the enamel. Use low to medium heat for most cooking tasks; higher heat can be used briefly for searing, followed by reduced heat for simmering or braising. Add fats or liquids as required to prevent food from sticking and to promote even heat transfer. When transferring between stovetop and oven, use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves due to the high thermal mass. Allow the cookware to cool before washing to protect the enamel surface.

Usage recommendations

To prolong the life of the enamel surface, avoid using metal utensils that can chip the coating; use silicone, wooden or heat-resistant nylon utensils instead. Clean with warm water and mild detergent, and dry thoroughly before storage. For stubborn residues, soak the casserole in warm soapy water rather than using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
