Enamelled cast iron casseroles are nothing new – and there's a very good reason for that.
They've earned their place in kitchens around the world for decades, and they show no signs of going out of style.
Below, we've gathered six reasons why an enamelled cast iron casserole deserves its status as a true kitchen classic – including in your home.
Outstanding Heat Retention
When it comes to holding heat, cast iron is simply unmatched among everyday casseroles. That makes it perfect for creating a deep, golden crust – whether you're browning mince for a Bolognese or building the base of a hearty goulash.
And once the long, slow simmer begins, cast iron really comes into its own. It needs very little extra heat to stay hot, thanks to its remarkable heat retention.
So when your chilli con carne is bubbling away for hours, you'll actually be saving energy in the process.
No Mysterious Coatings
Does the word "enamel" make you think of PFAS or a list of chemicals you couldn't possibly identify? Good news – this is a different story altogether.
The coating on our casserole is a true glass enamel, completely free from PFAS and the kind of questionable chemicals found in many coated pans. Just pure, clean cooking.
Incredible Versatility
Whatever type of hob you have, an enamelled cast iron casserole will feel right at home. It works on every heat source – and it's just as brilliant in the oven, whether you're starting on the stovetop and finishing in the oven, or baking from cold.
Bake a beautifully crusty casserole loaf, roast a chicken, or let your beef bourguignon braise low and slow until it's meltingly tender.
Thanks to the enamel, you can even use it to store food – including anything acidic – without any worries.
And of course, it's table-ready: serve straight from casserole to dining table, where the dish will stay piping hot for ages thanks to that excellent heat retention.
A Casserole for Generations
Our casserole isn't just built to last a lifetime – it's built to last generations.
With enamelled cast iron, one thing matters above all for durability: the enamel itself. Poor enamel chips and cracks easily, and once it goes, the casserole is finished.
That's why we produce ours with a French company that has more than 100 years of experience in enamelled cast iron. Every casserole is enamelled by hand in several layers, for the strongest possible finish.
We haven't cut a single corner – and you'll feel the difference many years from now, when your casserole is still serving up wonderful meals to you and your family.
Easy Maintenance
An enamelled cast iron casserole couldn't be easier to clean. Warm water, a little washing-up liquid and a brush – that's all you need for everyday cleaning.
Because of the enamel, there's no risk of rust like with raw cast iron, and there's no need for seasoning with oil. Cook, wash, put away – and it's ready for the next time you fire up the hob.
A Beautiful Addition to Your Kitchen
Last – but certainly not least – there's no denying that a cast iron casserole is a thing of beauty.
Not only will it last a lifetime, it's also a piece of cookware you'll genuinely enjoy looking at, every day.
With its timeless design and classic colours, it earns its place on your hob, your dining table or the shelf where it's proudly displayed.
