WAS iron dining serving pan D13 cm H3.5 cm with trivet cast iron and wood

The WAS iron dining serving pan D13 cm H3.5 cm with trivet cast iron and wood is a compact cast-iron serving dish designed for table presentation and direct heating. With a 13 cm diameter and 3.5 cm height, the pan retains heat effectively, maintaining temperature of small portions, tapas, or side dishes. It is supplied with a wooden trivet to protect tabletops and to complement a rustic or classic table setting. The product is intended for both professional foodservice and home use where stable heat retention and a sturdy presentation are priorities.

Advantages

The cast-iron construction provides excellent thermal mass and even heat distribution, helping foods stay warm during service. The small footprint and 3.5 cm depth make the pan suitable for individual portions and shared tapas. The included wooden trivet protects surfaces from heat and adds an aesthetic contrast to the cast-iron pan. The product is durable and suitable for repeated use in restaurant and catering environments.

Suitable for

• Serving hot tapas, small mains, or side dishes directly at the table
• Portion-controlled presentations for restaurants and catering
• Reheating or finishing dishes in the oven or on open flame before serving
• Rustic or traditional table settings where cast-iron presentation is desired

When it may not be suitable

The pan's weight and material may make it less suitable for users who require very lightweight or non-metal serveware. It is not intended for long-term acidic marinades or continuous exposure to corrosive ingredients without appropriate care, as cast iron requires maintenance to prevent rusting.

Key specifications

• Material: cast iron pan with wooden trivet
• Diameter: 13 cm
• Height / depth: 3.5 cm
• Intended use: table serving and direct heating
• Finish: seasoned or raw cast-iron surface (requires standard cast-iron care)

How to use

Preheat the pan before adding food if a hot presentation is required; for oven use, place the pan on a suitable rack and heat according to recipe requirements. After cooking or reheating, transfer the pan to the included wooden trivet for table service to protect the surface beneath. Avoid sudden temperature shocks to prevent thermal stress. Follow standard cast-iron handling: use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when moving the pan and take care on delicate tabletops even with the trivet in place.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you can handle the weight and size of a cast-iron pan for serving and transport
• Plan for routine cast-iron maintenance (drying, oiling) to prevent rust
• Confirm that your cooking and serving workflow accommodates direct-heated cast-iron items
• Check tabletop surfaces and trivet compatibility to avoid damage

Usage recommendations

For best results, preheat the pan gradually and use it for single portions or tapas that benefit from retained heat; clean and dry the cast iron thoroughly after use and apply a thin layer of cooking oil to maintain the surface.
