Advantages

The heavy cast iron construction ensures steady, even cooking and long heat retention to keep food warm when served. The durable surface resists high oven temperatures and is compatible with various heat sources, including gas, electric and ceramic hobs, as well as conventional ovens. The compact form factor reduces cooking time for small portions and simplifies portion control. The pot’s design allows for elegant table presentation and practical serving straight from the cookware.

Suitable for

• Baking individual gratins, casseroles and au gratin dishes
• Preparing single portions of stews, pot roast or braised vegetables
• Serving sauces, dips or warm side dishes directly at the table
• Slow-cooking small items that benefit from even heat and moisture retention

Key specifications

• Material: cast iron for uniform heat distribution and retention
• Diameter: 10 cm suitable for single servings
• Ovenproof: safe for use at typical baking temperatures
• Stovetop compatibility: suitable for gas, electric and ceramic hobs
• Finish: pre-seasoned or enamelled surface depending on variant (follow care instructions)

How to use

Preheat the oven or heat the stovetop to the required cooking temperature. If the pot has a pre-seasoned surface, lightly grease before use to enhance release; if enamelled, follow manufacturer guidance for first use. Place ingredients in the pot and bake or simmer according to your recipe. Use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when transferring the pot from heat to table, as handles become very hot. After cooking, allow to cool slightly before handling and serving directly from the pot.

Usage recommendations

To maintain performance, avoid rapid temperature shocks such as transferring from a hot oven to cold water. Clean according to the finish: gently scrub and dry pre-seasoned cast iron, or follow specific cleaning steps for enamelled surfaces. Regular maintenance of a seasoned surface improves natural non-stick properties and extends service life.
