KitchenAid Casserole Oval Cast Iron Onyx Black 30 cm / 5.6 Litres - enamelled non-stick coating

A whole chicken that cooks slowly, a deep brown roast that absorbs its own juices, stews that fall off the bone after hours of simmering - these are the dishes your KitchenAid Casserole Oval Onyx Black 30 cm will create for you. No compromises, no burnt meat, no dry results. Just pure flavour, straight from the pot.

Why Cast Iron Makes a Difference

Cast iron is not a trend. It is the oldest and most reliable cooking material you can have in your home. Once heated, it retains that heat like no other material - allowing meat to brown and crisp all around without the pan cooling down as soon as you place the meat in. And when the heat is low for simmering? The temperature remains stable, hour after hour. That is the secret behind tender stews: even, sustained heat. No peaks, no troughs.

• Exceptional heat conduction - Cast iron absorbs heat deeply and evenly, ensuring every piece of meat cooks perfectly
• Oval shape for large dishes - A whole chicken, a 1.5 kg roast, or a generous portion of stew: the 30 cm oval shape makes it possible
• 5.6 litre capacity - Ample space for 5 to 7 persons, ideal for a Sunday family gathering or a cosy dinner with friends
• Enamelled inside and out - No seasoning required: unpack the pan, place it on the counter, and start cooking
• PFAS-free cast iron - Better for you, better for the environment, and simply worry-free cooking
• Suitable for all heat sources - Gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, and induction, plus oven-safe up to 260 degrees

The Enamel That Changes Everything

Classic cast iron has a downside: you need to season it, and then maintain it properly each time. Not this pan. The multi-layer enamelled interior - made from natural materials - provides a cooking surface that does not react to acids and keeps the flavour of your ingredients pure. A splash of wine in the stew? No problem. Tomatoes, lemon juice, vinegar? Go ahead. The enamel protects the cast iron and preserves the pure taste of your dish.

Moreover, the coating is scratch and chip resistant, meaning you can use your metal spatula or spoon without fear. This is a pan designed for intensive daily use - and it will look just as good after years as it did on day one. Cleaning is simple by hand: warm water, a bit of washing-up liquid, done.

The Lid That Keeps Your Dish Juicier

This is the detail you truly appreciate when you cook with it for the first time. The lid features a raised rim where you can place ice cubes while cooking. The cold surface ensures that the condensation - all the moisture and flavour that would otherwise evaporate - drips back into your dish immediately. The result: a stew that remains extra juicy and aromatic inside, as if it has been simmering for hours in its own precious juices. Because it has.

The ergonomic handles ensure you can lift the pan comfortably, even when it is full and heavy. And with a stainless steel lid knob that withstands high temperatures, you can slide the pan straight from the hob into the oven - up to 260 degrees Celsius.

From Hob to Table, Without Shame

Let’s be honest: most pans you hide away as soon as the food is ready. Not this one. In the deep colour Onyx Black, you can proudly place this casserole in the centre of the table. It is a serving piece that also cooks - or a cooking pot that also decorates. The heat is retained for a long time, allowing everyone at the table to fill their plates without the food cooling down. That is what makes a good dining experience: food that stays warm, and a pan that is pleasing to the eye.

Whether you are preparing a classic coq au vin, recreating a Moroccan tagine, or simply whipping up a hearty stew for the week - this is the pan that carries the dish. And you carry the pan to the table.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Allow the casserole to warm up slowly on low to medium heat before adding the meat. Cast iron retains heat so well that you do not need a high setting - and you prevent unnecessary strain on the enamel. Start gently, build up, and let it do the work.
