Casserole pot

A casserole pan is the pan for everything that needs time and attention: simmering, braising and slow cooking. At Cook & Pan you'll find casserole pans for every cooking style, from robust cast iron for tender pulled beef to lightweight models for a midweek curry. All induction-ready and PFAS-free.

Not every casserole pan is the same. Pick the version that fits your cooking style and cooktop:

• Casserole pan for induction: magnetic base, quick to heat, works on every heat source.
• Casserole pan without PFAS: healthy cooking without PFAS, PFOA or PTFE.
• Ceramic casserole pan: aluminium body with a ceramic non-stick coating, smooth and easy to clean.
• Cast iron casserole pan: indestructible, perfect for slow stews and the oven.

Care basics

• Always let the pan cool down before washing it. That prevents warping.
• Cast iron: warm water and a brush, no soap. Then a light coat of oil.
• Stainless steel and ceramic: soft sponge, mild soap, no abrasives.
• Store pans with a cloth between the lids to avoid scratches.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a casserole pan and a sauté pan?

A casserole pan is deeper and heavier, made for slow stewing and oven use. A sauté pan is shallower with straight walls, better for quicker frying and shorter stews.

Can my casserole pan go in the dishwasher?

Cast iron, better not, it can rust. Stainless steel and ceramic versions usually can, but handwashing extends their lifespan.

How long does a casserole pan last?

Cast iron lasts generations, which is why we give a 25-year warranty on cast iron models. On other casserole pans you get 7 years' manufacturing warranty and 2 years on the coating. Plus 60 days of trial cooking.
