Master Class

The MasterClass 5Ltr cast aluminium casserole is a general-purpose cooking pot designed for use across all common heat sources, including induction, gas, ceramic, halogen, radiant ring, and solid plate. It comes with a lid and is suitable for oven use, making it a versatile option for stovetop-to-oven cooking methods.

Cast aluminium construction keeps the weight manageable compared to traditional cast iron, which is a practical consideration when staff are moving pots on and off the line repeatedly during service. The material conducts heat reasonably well for a lightweight pot, though operators used to heavier professional cookware should calibrate expectations accordingly — cast aluminium will not retain heat in the same way as cast iron or heavy-gauge stainless.

For a catering environment, this dish is well suited to smaller operations, prep kitchens, or as supplementary cookware where the 5Ltr capacity meets the need. It handles braised dishes, sauces, soups, and casseroles comfortably at that volume. Operators running higher batch volumes will want to consider larger or heavier-duty alternatives.

• Compatible with all hob types, including induction
• Lightweight relative to cast iron — easier handling during service
• Lid included, suitable for both stovetop and oven use
• Practical capacity for small-batch cooking and prep work
• Straightforward to clean with no complex components

If you are equipping a new kitchen and are unsure whether this capacity suits your menu and service volumes, we are happy to help you work through the options before you order.

The MasterClass Shallow Casserole Dish is a cast aluminium cooking vessel with a fitted lid, designed for hob and oven use across a range of cooking applications. At 4 litres capacity, the shallow profile suits braises, stews, curries, and tagines where even heat distribution and good liquid retention matter more than depth.

Cast aluminium conducts heat efficiently and responds quickly to temperature changes, which suits operators who need consistent results without the weight penalty of cast iron. The double-layer non-stick finish reduces the risk of food sticking during longer cooking times and makes the dish straightforward to clean between services. It is induction compatible, which makes it a practical option where induction hobs are in use alongside conventional gas or electric ranges.

• Cast aluminium construction for even heat distribution without the weight of cast iron
• Double-layer non-stick coating reduces sticking and simplifies cleaning
• Induction compatible — works across gas, electric, and induction hobs
• Oven safe, allowing hob-to-oven cooking without transferring to a separate dish
• Fitted lid supports slow-cook and retain-moisture applications

This dish is best suited to smaller operations — café kitchens, small restaurant prep, supper clubs, or catering teams producing individual or small-batch portions. The 4-litre capacity is practical for table-side or counter presentation in smaller covers, though higher-volume kitchens producing large batch quantities would be better served by a deeper, larger-capacity option. It is worth considering that cast aluminium smallwares, while durable for regular use, are not designed for the same sustained heavy-throughput environment as professional-grade gastronorm equipment.

If you are equipping a new kitchen and want to discuss how this fits alongside your other cookware, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The MasterClass 460mm dual griddle tray is a cast aluminium cooking tray with two distinct surfaces on a single piece — a ridged side for searing and a flat side for frying. It is sized to sit across two hob rings simultaneously, making it a practical choice where a single burner would leave surface area wasted or unevenly heated.

Cast aluminium distributes heat consistently across the cooking surface, which helps reduce the uneven browning that can occur with thinner pressed steel alternatives. The stainless steel base plate makes it compatible with all hob types, including induction, and the construction is suitable for finishing in an oven or transferring to a BBQ where a kitchen workflow calls for it.

In a light-use catering context — a small café, a breakfast service, or a pop-up kitchen — this tray covers a reasonable range of tasks from a single piece of equipment:

• Ridged surface suitable for searing meat, fish and poultry
• Flat surface suited to eggs, bacon, pancakes and similar items
• Compatible with induction, gas, ceramic and electric hobs
• Oven and BBQ safe for flexible service workflows
• Even heat distribution from cast aluminium construction

It is worth being clear about where this product fits. This is a smallware suitable for lower-volume or supplementary cooking — it is not a replacement for a dedicated commercial flat-top griddle where sustained high-throughput cooking is required. For operations serving consistent breakfast or brunch covers at volume, a free-standing or built-in commercial griddle plate would be a more appropriate choice.

If you are unsure whether this suits your service style or volume, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.
