Lakeland 30cm Midnight Blue Oval Cast Iron Casserole
Product number: 71348
Ideal for large family-sized batches of your favourite meals, or just batch cooking to set you up for the week ahead, our generously sized 30cm Midnight Blue Oval Cast Iron Casserole Dish is both hard-wearing and stylish, so stylish, in fact, you can take it straight to the table for serving.
Renowned for its incredible heat retention, even heat distribution and durability, cast iron has been used for cooking for more than 2000 years. Our large enamel-coated casserole dish is ideal for cooking stews, curries, pasta, desserts and lots more besides – we’ve even cooked bread in it. And we’ve also included a few other features in the range as a whole that we think give it the edge over other brands.
For some inspiration on what you can do with this casserole dish, we've used it in our delicious Texan Beef Brisket with Cheese Sweetcorn Cornbread recipe.
About Our Range of Cast Iron Cookware
Cast iron cookware is built to last. That’s why lots of us will probably have one or two pieces in our kitchens that have been passed down through the years. So when we set about developing our own cast iron range, we listened to what you told us. The result is this beautiful range that performs exceptionally well and includes some of the features you felt were missing from other cookware you can buy. It’s a range we’re confident you’ll want to pass on to the next generation, and that compares more than favourably with other more expensive brands.
There’s no getting round the fact that cast iron is heavy, so we’ve given these enamel-coated pieces large, curved carry handles that you can get your hands comfortably and safely under, even when wearing oven gloves, making each piece much easier to get in and out of the oven or take to the table for serving. We’ve also included a bigger than usual knob on top for ease of use and, to avoid the food traps that can make them difficult to clean, the lids have no screw underneath.
Offering superb heat retention and even distribution, cast iron is suitable for all kinds of cooking in the oven up to 260°C and on all hobs, including induction – and you can even bake bread in the casserole dishes.
