Product Description
This 10.25" (26 cm) enameled cast iron balti dish is designed for versatile everyday cooking and deep pan applications. The durable cast iron body provides steady, even heat distribution for curries, stews, casseroles, stir-fries, one-pot meals, braising, simmering, searing, and sautéing. The medium-size round shape functions as a balti pan, deep casserole dish, enameled cast iron braiser, deep sauté pan, curry pot, stew pot, wok-style cast iron pan, and oven-to-table serving dish.
The black enameled interior supports easier food release and helps resist sticking, staining, and odors. The tempered glass lid with stainless-steel knob allows monitoring during cooking and helps retain moisture for slow-simmered dishes. Suitable for induction, gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen stovetops, this enameled cast iron pot is oven safe up to 536°F (280°C), including the lid. The enamel coating requires no seasoning and supports easier cleaning compared to traditional bare cast iron.
With its 4.22-quart (4 L) capacity, the dish is ideal for medium batches of soups, curry dishes, stews, sautéed vegetables, biryani, tikka masala, braised meats, and stovetop casseroles. The red enamel exterior enhances kitchen presentation, making this dish suitable for both cooking and serving directly at the table.
