BK Casserole Bourgogne Royal Blue Cast Iron ø 24 cm / 4.2 Litres - enamelled non-stick coating

There are certain dishes that simply cannot be rushed. A stew that simmers all afternoon. A coq au vin that fills the kitchen with a scent that makes your neighbours envious. Dishes that need time - and a casserole that goes with it. The BK Casserole Bourgogne Royal Blue ø 24 cm is just that: a cast iron powerhouse with a soul, wrapped in deep royal blue enamel that looks just as good on the table as it does on the stove.

This is not a casserole you buy and replace after two years. This is a casserole you pass down.

Why cast iron makes a difference

Cast iron is not a trend - it is centuries-old kitchen wisdom that proves its worth time and again. The reason is simple: cast iron heats slowly and evenly, and retains that heat incredibly well. This means that the meat you sear gets an even, deep crust without the pan cooling down as soon as you put it in. And once the pan is at temperature, you can gently lower the heat - the pan does the rest.

You can really taste the result. Tender stew that falls off the bone. A risotto that stays creamy without constant stirring. Mashed potatoes that draw flavour from the bottom. The BK Bourgogne brings out the best in your ingredients - not by doing the work for you, but by creating the perfect conditions.

• Even heat distribution - The thick base and heavy walls distribute heat across the entire pan, from edge to edge. No hot spots, no burning in the middle.
• Drip rings in the lid - Cooking moisture condenses on the inside of the heavy lid and drips back onto your dish. This keeps everything juicy, intensely flavoured, and beautifully tender.
• Suitable for all heat sources - Gas, electric, ceramic, halogen or induction: the casserole works everywhere. And then it goes into the oven with the lid on up to 230 degrees Celsius.
• Enamelled inside and out - No seasoning needed, no rust risk, and completely PFAS-free. The enamel is also a great non-stick surface for everyday cooking.
• From stove to table - That deep Royal Blue colour with the polished Stainless Steel knob makes serving a moment. Just place it in the middle of the table - it’s worth the conversation.

The size that works for everyone: 4.2 litres, 24 cm

Choosing a casserole is also choosing a size, and the 24 cm Bourgogne with a 4.2 litre capacity is popular for a reason. Big enough for a hearty stew for four to five persons, handy enough for a midweek pasta sauce or a tasty chicken dish. You cook for the family at the table on Tuesday, and proudly place it on a laid table on Saturday. Both moments deserve quality.

The weight - over five kilos - may take some getting used to, but it’s exactly what makes cast iron so good. That mass is the reason the heat remains so stable. And with the ergonomic handles on both sides, you can lift it comfortably, even when it’s full.

Cleaning and maintenance: less work than you think

Cast iron sometimes has the reputation of being demanding. The BK Bourgogne is not. Because it is enamelled inside and out, you never have to season it. No fuss with oiling before you can use it - just rinse with hot water before the first use, pat dry, and you’re done.

After cooking, it can go in the dishwasher, but BK recommends hand washing. That’s really the best advice: with warm water, a soft brush, and a little dish soap, it’s clean in a minute, and the enamel stays beautifully bright for years. Stubborn residues? Let it soak in warm water for a while - a no-nonsense solution that always works. Preferably use wooden or silicone kitchen utensils to spare the enamel.

What you don’t do: pour cold water into a hot pot. Cast iron needs time to cool down, just as it needs time to heat up. Respect that rhythm, and this casserole will last a lifetime.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Let the BK Bourgogne warm up gently over medium heat - three to four minutes is enough. Thanks to the heat retention of cast iron, you often need less heat than you’re used to. Even on induction, you don’t need to use the boost setting. Start low, let the casserole do its work, and taste the difference.

Royal Blue: more than just a colour

BK is a Dutch brand with decades of cooking experience, and the Bourgogne collection is proof of that. The name refers to the rich, stew culture of the Burgundian kitchen - cooking with care, time, and love for the craft. That philosophy is literally baked into the material.

Royal Blue is not just any blue. It’s a deep, royal shade that stands out without shouting. Stylish on the table, sturdy on the stove. Whether you have a minimalist kitchen or a warm, brown wooden table - this casserole fits in and completes the look.
