MasterClass MCMSCRD28GRY Shallow Casserole Dish with Lid, Lightweight Cast Aluminium, Induction Hob and Oven Safe, Ombre Grey, 4 Litre/28 cm

Revolutionise the way you cook. It's not often you get to enjoy the best of all worlds. But with MasterClass’s cast aluminium casserole dishes, you can. Thanks to its cast aluminium construction, this sturdy dish is a strong heat conductor. This means you get all the benefits of cast iron cookware, but in a lightweight, easy to handle form. It's finished with a double scratch-proof, non stick layer. This all adds up to the perfect recipe for a long-term kitchen companion - an extra-tough, lightweight casserole dish with lid, which cooks stews evenly and thoroughly. It's ideal for cooking hearty beef stews or spicy chicken casseroles on the hob (it’s induction safe). You can put it in your oven too, making it great for slow-cooked stews, curries and tagines. Tips for Preventing Rust: •Never soak the pan: Since cast iron is so vulnerable to rust, it’s best to limit your pan’s exposure to water as much as possible. •Don’t let the pan air dry: Wipe off any excess water with a towel immediately after rinsing. To get your skillet dry, pop it on the burner to remove extra moisture. •Lightly oil after use: Once dried, rub your skillet with a thin layer of vegetable oil before storing. •Seasoning: Drop a tablespoon of vegetable oil on the pan/utensil and spread it around with your fingers or a paper towel. (Take care not to burn yourself on a warm skillet!). Oil the outside and the handle, too. Next, take a folded napkin and wipe off the excess oil. You’ll want the skillet to be lightly greased. Set your oven to 350 degrees and put some aluminum foil on the bottom rack. Then pop the skillet in, upside down, on the upper rack for about 1 hour. Turn the oven off and leave the pan inside until it’s cool. The oil will bake into the pores of the pan, providing a non-stick finish. Before cooking, ensure your pan is clean with no scratches that can cause food to stick and burn.
