Price Match

This Pujadas shallow casserole is cast from aluminium and finished in a bronze exterior coating. The lidless, open design is well suited to dishes that benefit from active evaporation during cooking — rice dishes, paellas, and slow stews are the most common applications. The ground base ensures good contact with the heat source, which is particularly useful on solid-top ranges and commercial induction surfaces where consistent conduction matters.

Cast aluminium holds and distributes heat evenly across the base and sides, reducing the risk of hotspots that can scorch ingredients in rice or grain-based dishes. The anti-adherent interior surface is described by the manufacturer as abrasion-resistant, which helps maintain performance under regular kitchen use and repeated washing. The rigid cast construction resists warping and deformation, which is a practical concern with thinner pressed-pan alternatives over time.

In a working kitchen environment, this type of shallow casserole is useful for:

  • Rice dishes and paellas where controlled moisture reduction is needed
  • Braised and stewed preparations requiring consistent base heat
  • Presentation-to-pass or oven-to-table service formats
  • Batch cooking on solid-top or gas ranges

It is worth noting that cast aluminium is heavier than pressed alternatives, which is worth considering if kitchen staff will be handling multiple units frequently during service. The 240mm diameter positions this as a per-portion or small-batch vessel rather than a high-volume production pan — operations cooking for larger covers may find it better suited to individual plating or tableside presentation than bulk preparation.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your service style or menu format, the team is happy to talk through the options with you.

Frequently asked questions

What types of dish is this shallow casserole best suited to?

It is particularly well suited to rice dishes, paellas, and stews where evaporation is part of the cooking process. The open design and even heat distribution from the cast aluminium make it a practical choice for preparations where moisture control matters. It works equally well in oven and hob environments.

Is the 240mm size appropriate for batch cooking or is it more of a single-portion vessel?

At 240mm this is better positioned as a small-batch or individual portion pan rather than a high-volume production vessel. It suits kitchens preparing dishes to order or using smaller batches for service, and works well in tableside or pass presentation contexts. Operators cooking for larger covers should consider whether a larger diameter would better fit their throughput.

Does cast aluminium work on all commercial hob types?

Cast aluminium performs well on gas and solid-top electric ranges where the ground base can make good contact with the heat source. It is not suitable for use on induction hobs unless the hob is specifically designed to work with non-ferrous cookware, which is uncommon in commercial settings. If you are unsure about compatibility with your existing equipment, it is worth checking before ordering.
