Utopia Cast Iron Round Pan 140mm (Pack of 6)

This 140mm cast iron round pan from Utopia's cookware collection is a compact serving pan designed to go from oven or hob directly to the table. Each pan holds just under 400ml, making it well suited to individual portion dishes — think gratins, eggs, smaller sharing starters, or sizzling side dishes. The cast iron construction retains heat effectively, which helps food stay at serving temperature during the time between the pass and the guest.

In a busy service environment, heat retention is a practical advantage. Cast iron holds temperature longer than lighter materials, which reduces the need to rush plates to the table and gives front-of-house more flexibility during peak covers. The pans are robust enough for regular oven use and handle the thermal cycling of daily service without issue.

• Retains heat well, keeping portions warm from pass to table
• Suitable for oven, hob, and direct-to-table service
• Compact 140mm diameter works well for individual portions
• Cast iron construction withstands regular high-temperature use
• Sold in a pack of 6, practical for setting up consistent covers

These pans are best suited to restaurants, gastropubs, and casual dining operations where presented individual portions are part of the service style. They work particularly well alongside a matching wooden board or slate, which protects table surfaces and reinforces the presentation. For kitchens that serve higher volumes or need a larger portion size, wider diameter options are worth considering.

Care is straightforward — cast iron should be dried promptly after washing and lightly oiled if stored for extended periods. Avoid prolonged soaking, which can affect the seasoning over time.
