The heat capability of the pan is amazing. I sear steaks on it and then whisk it to the table. I have also used it to make a vegetable stir fry or most recently I used it as a serving platter. So versatile.
Fajitas for two? Plancha roasted prawns in garlic butter. Flatbreads. Tortillas server. Baking dish - great for S'mores. Wasn't sure what I'd use this for, and now I've found a list of things. The quality cast iron is enamel coated and requires no seasoning. Can take the high heat of a broiler, and the direct heat of a stove. Fabulous!
Roasted vegetables and sheet pan dinners for two just got a new serving piece! No need to roast and transfer to a serving platter...this goes from oven to table and keeps it piping hot right up to serving. Great black matte coating doesn't need seasoning and cleans up easily.
Even though this is a shallow dish, you can make just about anything in it. Roast your root veggies, warm your tortillas or burritos, make a fruit tart or crisp! I love that it goes straight to the table for a nice presentation. No need to pull out more plates.
This is a great pan for fajitas! Stays hot for a really long time and the wood base is easy to handle. We have also used it as a cooking surface for wagyu beef slices at the table. Yum!
Bought a new stove which has a long rectangular burner in the middle. This is perfect for that. I saute vegetables (peppers, onions, asparagus) while I prepare rest of dinner. I especially like that I can take it from stove and serve in wooden holder & stays nice and hot.
This dish seemed to be small but it can handle variety of cooking needs. You can bake brownies, perfectly thin brownies and easy to scoop them out for its shallow siding. Great for rectangular cookies, variety of delicious recipe' serves as sizzling plate. You can also use this on a stove top for any frying, grilling or searing purposes. This is one of the popular medium cast iron at our store, being that it is not so big and it serves as frying pan for its flat bottom. Smooth enamel bottom works on all stovetops, including gas, electric, glass, ceramic, induction, and halogen.
