Let it cool, then wash enamelled cast iron with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Skip harsh scourers. Stainless steel is typically dishwasher safe, but always check the care instructions.
Casserole pots bring your favourite comfort food closer to home. From oven-ready dishes for bubbling bakes and weekend roasts to sturdy lidded pots for easy weeknight dinners, Peter's of Kensington's curated multi-brand collection brings the world's finest cookware straight to your stovetop.
Why a good casserole pot earns its place on your stovetop
All hail the casserole dish: guardian of the gravy, baker of the braise and staunch supporter of second helpings. Its heavy base holds heat, its snug lid keeps moisture in and its oven-safe design takes dinner from stovetop to table with calm hands and seasoned confidence. It delivers all the classic dinner hits on repeat for years to come, backed by the quality cookware standards Peter’s of Kensington has been dishing out since 1977.
How to choose the right Casserole Dish for your Kitchen
Start with the material: Enamelled cast iron from Le Creuset or Chasseur holds heat beautifully and moves from oven to table with colour to spare. Stainless steel is lighter and easy to handle, while ceramic and stoneware from Emile Henry are made for golden bakes and gratins
Then size it up: Choose 2.5-3L for two, 4-5L for four or 6L and above when seconds, leftovers or a full table are on the cards.
