Hello XX,
I can advise the following for the Habitat 5.3 Litre Cast Iron Casserole Dish - Green:
The enamel-coated dish retains and spreads heat evenly, making it perfect for slow cooking while trapping moisture and flavour. Due to this it does not have a self basting lid.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hello Kay,
I can advise the following for the Habitat 5.3 Litre Cast Iron Casserole Dish - Red:
The casserole dish is likely too small to accommodate another tin and still have its lid close properly.

Hello there,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Habitat 5.3 Litre Cast Iron Casserole Dish - Red: The enamel is a vitreous, glass-based coating, but it contains other oxides (such as boron, aluminum, sodium, calcium) in addition to silica. The vibrant surface colors (orange, blue, green, etc.) are created by pigments. Therefore, although fundamentally glassy in nature, the coating is not 100% pure glass—it is a glass matrix blended with metal oxides.
Thank you for using Q&A.
