Hob? Oven? Tabletop? Here's an all-rounder that'll work wonders wherever you use it. Made from cast iron with a tough enamel coating free from lead and cadmium, this lidded casserole dish is suitable for most hobs including gas and induction. It's oven safe too, up to 260 degrees. Designed to create hearty meals for up to 5 people, this big pot can go straight from oven to table. And while it might be a bit heavy for some, at 5.3kg it's got all the cast iron quality you've been looking for. Easy to clean, just hand wash it in warm soapy water.

Fabulous Dutch Oven
So far so good. I got this for a sourdough Dutch oven. It’s heavy and takes a while to heat fully which is essential for rising the dough. Perfect. Good value l’d say!

Heat Distribution
The heat distribution is fantastic. But the enamel at the bottom of the pan started to chip off in just 5 uses.

Old traditions
I am leaning into old-school pots and pans. Non-stick doesn’t really work for me. I already have cast-iron frying pans, but I needed something to simmer my spaghetti bolognese or lasagne sauce with tomato juice. So, this beauty was recommended by my workmate. This pot is now my favourite! I cook for two people in it, with the intention of having leftovers for the next day – cook once, eat twice. I bought it with the plan of having a wider frying space and higher walls, to accommodate extra splish and splash, extra ingredients and liquids (that’s how witches cook 🧙♀️) and to make extra meals for guests. I haven’t tried baking bread in it yet – that’s my new goal. It’s also pretty heavy. I’m very pleased with handle on the lid – comfortable to grip and don’t heat up quickly. I had to return the first pot because the enamelled surface was bubbled, and I was worried it would start chipping sooner. So, with the second one, I was super happy.

Well made, great colour.
Used this twice now to make sourdough and it worked a treat. Feels well made and is easy to handle. It’s heavy, but not too heavy. Lid handle is made of steel so can go in the oven too. The colour is fantastic too. Looks just like the photos.

So easy to use.
This is a good sized casserole dish that keeps heat in and easy to work all ingredients in to help with the blend of spices or sauces etc. Looks a bright item on cooker to.

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.
