KitchenAid Casserole Cast Iron Onyx Black ø 22 cm / 3.3 Litres - enamelled non-stick coating

Tender stews that fall off your fork. Soup that simmers gently all afternoon. A steaming pot in the middle of the table that draws everyone to the kitchen. With the KitchenAid Casserole Cast Iron Onyx Black ø 22 cm, you can make that moment a reality - and it looks stunning too.

Cast iron is not a trend. It is the material that has been in professional kitchens for generations, precisely because it does what no other pot can do so well: retain heat, distribute it evenly, and give dishes the time they need to become truly delicious. This KitchenAid casserole combines that timeless strength with an enamelled finish and a sleek Onyx Black design that exudes class.

Why cast iron is your best kitchen investment

There is a reason that cast iron pans are passed down from generation to generation. They improve the more you use them, last for decades, and deliver results that you simply cannot achieve with an ordinary pot. Slowly braised stews, a perfect crust on your meat before it goes into the oven, or a rich chilli that simmers for hours - this is what cast iron is made for.

• Superior heat retention - Once hot, cast iron stays warm for a long time. Ideal for slow cooking and stews that need time.
• Even heat distribution - No hot spots, no unevenly cooked pieces of meat. The entire base participates.
• From searing to simmering in one pot - Brown your meat directly in the casserole on high heat, add your broth, and let it simmer for hours. One pot, minimal washing up.
• Enamelled - ready to use immediately - No seasoning, no pre-treatment. Just unpack and start cooking.
• PFAS-free cast iron - Better for you, better for the environment. Cooking without chemical residues.
• Suitable for all heat sources - Gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, and induction. Oven safe up to 260 °C.
• Resistant to metal kitchen utensils - You don’t have to be careful with your spoons and spatulas. The enamelled layer holds up.

The secret is in the lid

Take a good look at the lid of this casserole. You see a raised edge around the top - that is not a random design choice. Place ice cubes on it while cooking, and you create a constant condensation process: the steam condenses against the cold lid and drips back into your dish. The result? Stews that are juicier than you’ve ever tasted, broth that tastes more intense, and dishes that almost self-moisten while cooking. A small technique, a big difference on your plate.

The lid has a stainless steel knob and fits snugly onto the pot. Heat and moisture stay inside, flavours concentrate, and you hardly have to keep an eye on it. That’s the beauty of slow cooking with the right pot: time is your ingredient.

Onyx Black: the pot you’re proud to place on the table

A good casserole doesn’t necessarily need to go straight to the countertop after cooking. The KitchenAid Casserole in Onyx Black has a deep, matte black finish that looks just as beautiful on the table as it does in the kitchen. Just place it in the middle, hand everyone a spoon, and let the pot speak for itself. That’s dining as it’s meant to be: warm, informal, and delicious.

The ergonomic handles on both sides feel comfortable in your hand - even when the pot is filled with a hearty stew for four persons. With a capacity of 3.3 litres and a diameter of 22 cm, this is the perfect size for a cosy dinner for 2 to 4 persons. Not too big, not too small - just right for a weekday stew or a weekend when you really take your time.

More versatile than you think

Stews are the first thing that comes to mind with a cast iron casserole. But don’t stop there. Use it for:

• Soups and broths - Let vegetables and bones simmer for hours for a deep, rich flavour.
• Chilli con carne - The cast iron maintains a stable temperature, so your chilli cooks evenly without burning.
• Pulled pork or lamb shank - Sear in the pot, lid on, and into the oven. Cast iron and the oven are a golden combination.
• Risotto or pasta sauces - The heavy base prevents burning, even during longer cooking times on low heat.
• One-pot dishes - Everything in one pot: vegetables, meat, herbs. Less washing up, more flavour.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Always wash the casserole by hand - never in the dishwasher. Use warm water and a soft sponge. Dry it immediately after washing and store it with the lid slightly on top, so that air can circulate. This way, your pot stays in top condition for years and the enamel won’t chip off.

Quality that pays for itself

A cast iron pot is a long-term investment. No worn non-stick coating after two years, no warped base, no discolouration after intensive use. KitchenAid’s multi-layer enamelled finish is scratch and chip resistant, acid neutral, and tasteless - your dish tastes exactly as it should, without any aftertaste from the pot. This is the kind of quality that you can pass down to your children.

And because cast iron is naturally PFAS-free, you’re also cooking healthier. No harmful substances, no worries. Just honest, pure cooking - as it should be.
