This is a traditional cast iron roasting dish with a cream enamelled interior, supplied in black. At 5 litres capacity it sits in the mid-range of roasting dish sizes — large enough for a substantial joint or a full batch of root vegetables, without being unwieldy in day-to-day service.

Cast iron performs consistently well in commercial environments because of the way it holds and distributes heat. Once the dish is up to temperature, it maintains that heat across the entire base and sides rather than concentrating it at the point of contact. This is particularly useful when moving between oven and hob, finishing a dish at the pass, or holding food during a busy service period. The thermal mass also means the dish retains warmth after it leaves the oven, which reduces the risk of food cooling on the counter before plating.

The enamelled interior means the dish does not require seasoning in the same way an untreated cast iron pan would, which makes it more practical in a kitchen where multiple staff handle equipment. The enamel also makes cleaning more straightforward and avoids the rust concerns associated with bare cast iron.

  • Compatible with gas, electric, induction, and ceramic ranges — no dedicated equipment required
  • Heat retention supports energy-efficient cooking and reduces the need for re-heating
  • Enamelled surface is easier to maintain than raw cast iron in a multi-user environment
  • Robust construction suited to regular use in a professional kitchen

It is worth noting that at just under 5kg empty, this dish is heavier than pressed steel or aluminium alternatives. Staff handling it frequently — particularly when full — should be aware of the additional weight. It is well suited to smaller restaurant kitchens, pub kitchens, and catering operations where roasting and braising form a regular part of the menu.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for your service volumes or want guidance on the range, we are happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

Is the enamelled interior truly non-stick, or does it still need seasoning?

The cream enamel coating means this dish does not require the seasoning process associated with raw cast iron. It is not a non-stick surface in the PTFE sense, so some sticking can occur with certain foods, particularly at high dry heat, but it cleans up readily with warm water and a brush. Avoiding metal scourers will help preserve the enamel over time.

Is this dish suitable for use directly on an induction hob as well as in the oven?

Yes, cast iron is inherently induction-compatible, so this dish can be used directly on an induction hob, gas burner, electric ring, or ceramic top, as well as in a conventional or combination oven. This makes it a flexible option if your workflow involves starting on the hob and finishing in the oven, or vice versa.

How does the 5Ltr size compare to other options in the range, and what service volume does it suit?

At 5Ltrs this dish is well suited to smaller restaurant or pub kitchens producing roasts or braises for up to 20 to 30 covers, depending on portion size and menu style. For higher-volume operations or larger joints, a larger capacity dish from the same range would be worth considering. If you are unsure which size fits your menu, we are happy to advise.
