{"product_id":"le-creuset-essential-non-stick-ceramic-shallow-casserole","title":"Le Creuset Non-Stick Ceramic Shallow Casserole","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Le Creuset Non-Stick Ceramic Shallow Casserole is designed for the kind of cooking that starts on the hob and finishes in the oven. Its wide, flat base gives ingredients room to sear in a single layer without steaming each other, and the included glass lid locks in moisture once you are ready to braise or simmer. The PFAS-free ceramic coating makes cleaning straightforward, and the forged aluminium body with encased induction disc covers all hob types. Available in 28cm and 30cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePFAS-free ceramic coating: Applied all over the pan, the ceramic coating provides strong non-stick release and wipes clean easily, and is made without PFAS. \u003cbr\u003eForged heavy-gauge aluminium body: The forged aluminium construction distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface, reducing hot spots and helping food cook consistently. \u003cbr\u003eFully encased stainless steel induction disc: A stainless steel disc is permanently encased in the base, making the pan fully compatible with induction hobs as well as all other heat sources. \u003cbr\u003eOven safe to 280 degrees C: The pan can go from hob to oven up to 280 degrees C, or 220 degrees C with a Le Creuset glass lid, adding versatility to hob-to-oven cooking. \u003cbr\u003eMetal utensil safe and warp-resistant: The durable coating can withstand contact with metal utensils, and a reinforced rim prevents the pan from warping over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable sizes: 28cm, 30cm \u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Forged heavy-gauge aluminium with PFAS-free ceramic coating and fully encased stainless steel induction disc \u003cbr\u003eHob compatibility: All hobs including induction, gas, electric, ceramic glass, and grill \u003cbr\u003eOven safe: Up to 280 degrees C (220 degrees C with Le Creuset glass lid) \u003cbr\u003eLid: Tempered glass lid included \u003cbr\u003eUtensils: Metal utensil safe \u003cbr\u003eCountry of manufacture: China \u003cbr\u003e28cm SKU: 342474 \u003cbr\u003e28cm EAN: 0630870350792 \u003cbr\u003e28cm MPN: 51311280010598 \u003cbr\u003e30cm SKU: 342475 \u003cbr\u003e30cm EAN: 0630870350808 \u003cbr\u003e30cm MPN: 51311300010598 \u003cbr\u003eGuarantee: 10 years (Le Creuset)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare instructions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEveryday cleaning: Wash by hand with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge after each use. The ceramic coating releases food easily, so soaking is rarely needed. \u003cbr\u003eDishwasher use: The pan is dishwasher-safe, though hand washing is recommended to maintain the coating and extend the life of the finish. \u003cbr\u003eCooking temperature: The ceramic coating performs best on low to medium heat. High heat is rarely needed and can accelerate wear on any non-stick surface over time. \u003cbr\u003eUtensils: Metal utensils can be used, but silicone or wooden tools will extend the life of the coating. Avoid sharp or cutting implements directly in the pan. \u003cbr\u003eWhat to avoid: Do not use aerosol cooking sprays, as these can build up on the ceramic surface and reduce its release properties. Do not stack pans directly without protection between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestions and answers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs this compatible with induction hobs? \u003cbr\u003eYes. All Le Creuset Essential Non-Stick Ceramic pieces have a fully encased stainless steel disc in the base, which makes them compatible with induction as well as gas, electric, ceramic glass, and grill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan I use metal utensils with this pan? \u003cbr\u003eYes, the coating is rated as metal utensil safe. That said, using silicone or wooden tools as a first preference will help the coating last longer. Sharp or cutting implements directly in the pan are best avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoes the lid come included? \u003cbr\u003eNo, the glass lid is sold separately. The pan is oven safe to 280 degrees C without a lid, or 220 degrees C when used with a Le Creuset heat-resistant glass lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow does a shallow casserole differ from a saute pan? \u003cbr\u003eA shallow casserole typically has two loop handles rather than one long handle, which makes it better suited to going directly from hob to oven and then to the table. The wide base allows ingredients to be spread in a single layer for searing without crowding, and the glass lid circulates steam for braising and slow cooking. A saute pan serves a similar function but is generally more hob-focused.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Creuset","offers":[{"title":"28cm","offer_id":57007475425658,"sku":"342474","price":175.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"30cm","offer_id":57007475458426,"sku":"342475","price":179.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/1875\/7690\/files\/2K_SQUARE_JPG-20240327_GS_51311280010598_100.jpg?v=1782396760","url":"https:\/\/aolcookshop.co.uk\/products\/le-creuset-essential-non-stick-ceramic-shallow-casserole","provider":"Art of Living Cookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
