WAS cast iron 250 ml oval sauté/serving pot with lid 12.5×9.5×6.5 cm, black is a compact cast iron pan designed for individual portions and small side dishes. Its oval shape and fitted lid enable stovetop searing, slow simmering and table serving while the cast iron construction ensures even heat distribution and good heat retention. The black finish suits direct heat sources and oven use common for cast iron cookware, making this pot suitable for finishing dishes under high heat or keeping servings warm at the table.

Advantages

The oval geometry and modest 250 ml capacity make it efficient for single servings and small sides without wasting space on the hob or in the oven. The included lid helps trap moisture for gentle braising or keeps food warm during service. The black finish is practical for everyday use and compatible with a range of heat sources that cast iron tolerates.

How to use

Preheat the empty pot briefly on low to moderate heat before adding oil or ingredients to reduce sticking and ensure even searing. Use the fitted lid to trap steam for slow cooking or to retain heat when serving. The pot is suitable for use on gas, electric and induction hobs as well as in ovens; follow gradual temperature changes to avoid thermal shock. Handle with heat-resistant gloves or a cloth when removing from heat, as cast iron and the lid become very hot.

Usage recommendations

Season the cast iron according to standard care practices before first use to build a protective cooking layer. Clean by hand with warm water and a brush or non-abrasive pad; avoid prolonged soaking and harsh detergents. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of cooking oil before storage to prevent rust. For best results, avoid rapid temperature swings and use protective pads when placing on delicate surfaces.
