Stylish and contemporary, our Cast Iron cookware delivers all the benefits of cooking in traditional cast iron. Robust and excellent at retaining heat to save energy when cooking, this casserole pot is versatile for poaching and stewing on the hob or roasting and slow-cooking in the oven.

The smooth, porcelain enamel exterior is durable, keeps its colour and is easy to clean. The neatly fitting domed lid has moisture-collecting nodules on the inside to keep food succulent and better tasting. Turn off the heat and close the lid to steam-cook rice, after boiling away the water, for fluffier results. With just a little water or oil added to the casserole pot, when the lid is on, it can steam vegetables or sweat onions to retain flavour and improve your cooking.

Metal handles
Metal pan handles heat up when cooking so be careful when lifting pans and touching handles. Please use an oven glove, mitt or pot holder when handling hot pans.

Getting the most from your induction pans
All of our John Lewis induction pans are tested to British and European standards for safety and performance. To ensure the functionality of induction pans, it is important to make sure the magnetic circuit with the hob isn't broken by:

• Making sure the size of the pan base is no smaller than the hob 'ring'
• Using pans with a flat base
• Not lifting the pan off the hob top continuously
• Giving coated and aluminium pans with steel bases more time to heat, as the aluminium sides do not heat directly from the hob
