The MasterClass 2.5Ltr Deep Casserole Dish is a cast aluminium cooking pot designed for use across all common heat sources, including induction, gas, ceramic, halogen, radiant ring, and solid plate. The stainless steel base provides the compatibility with induction hobs while the cast aluminium body distributes heat evenly across the base and sides. It is also oven-safe, making it practical for dishes that move from hob to oven during service.

Cast aluminium strikes a useful balance for catering smallwares — it conducts heat well and responds quickly to temperature changes, which helps with dishes that require careful heat management. Despite the material's performance, the pan remains noticeably lighter than comparable cast iron pieces, which reduces strain during a busy service when staff are moving pots frequently.

  • Compatible with induction, gas, ceramic, halogen, radiant ring, and solid plate hobs
  • Oven-safe construction for hob-to-oven cooking workflows
  • Lightweight relative to cast iron, reducing handling fatigue during service
  • Even heat distribution from cast aluminium body supports consistent cooking
  • 2.5Ltr capacity suited to batch cooking of sauces, stews, and braised dishes

At 2.5 litres, this is a relatively modest capacity — well suited to smaller kitchens, table service restaurants preparing dishes to order, or as a supplementary piece alongside larger pots. For kitchens cooking in bulk or holding larger quantities through service, a higher-capacity casserole would be the more practical choice.

If you're unsure whether this size fits your service volumes or workflow, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Is this casserole dish suitable for use on induction hobs?

Yes — the stainless steel base makes it fully compatible with induction hobs, as well as gas, ceramic, halogen, radiant ring, and solid plate heat sources. This makes it a versatile choice if your kitchen runs mixed hob types.

How does cast aluminium compare to cast iron for commercial kitchen use?

Cast aluminium heats up faster and responds more quickly to temperature adjustments than cast iron, which can be useful for dishes requiring precise heat control. It is also considerably lighter, which matters in a busy service environment where pots are handled frequently. The trade-off is that cast iron retains heat for longer, so the right choice depends on how you're using the pan.

Is a 2.5Ltr capacity sufficient for a commercial kitchen?

It depends on your service style and volumes. For à la carte cooking, sauces, or smaller braised portions, 2.5 litres is a practical working size. For bulk preparation or holding larger quantities through a busy service, you would likely need a higher-capacity pot. If you're unsure what size suits your output, it's worth speaking to the team before ordering.
