OFYR’ s 21+26 Cast Iron Casserole Set is an exceptional combination of quality, durability and versatility, designed for cooks looking to get the most out of both outdoor and indoor cooking. These pans, with diameters of 21 cm and 26 cm respectively, are made from heavy-duty cast iron, ensuring even cooking and unrivalled heat retention. Whether for use on an OFYR barbecue, a ceramic hob or even in a pizza oven, this set is the perfect ally for any type of culinary preparation.
High heat retention and heat distribution
The cast iron material is distinguished by its unique ability to retain and distribute heat evenly across the entire surface of the pan. This means that food cooks evenly, avoiding hot or cold spots. This is particularly useful when preparing recipes that require long cooking times or constant temperatures, such as stews, casseroles or roast meats. In addition, cast iron allows heat to be retained even after the pans are removed from the heat, keeping food hotter for longer, which is ideal for serving directly at the table without worrying about rapid temperature loss.
Perfect for barbecues and glass-ceramic hobs.
This casserole set is designed to offer maximum versatility in terms of use. Not only are they perfect for the hob of an OFYR barbecue, but they can also be used on glass-ceramic hobs, induction hobs and ovens. This expands their applications considerably, allowing users to prepare a variety of dishes both outdoors and in the comfort of their own kitchens. The pans are ideal for direct cooking on a grill or baking in a pizza oven, making them an essential tool for any cook who enjoys versatile and creative cooking.
Cast iron strength and durability
Cast iron is renowned for being one of the most durable and hardwearing materials in the kitchen, and this set of casseroles is no exception. With proper care, these pans can last a lifetime. Unlike other materials, cast iron does not warp or deteriorate easily, withstanding high temperatures and intensive use. However, they do require specific maintenance: they should not be washed in the dishwasher, as this could damage their surface. To preserve their integrity, it is necessary to clean them manually with warm water and mild soap, dry them thoroughly and apply a thin layer of oil to prevent rusting. This process ensures that the pans maintain their natural non-stick properties and resistance over time.
Ergonomic and safe design
The pans and lids are designed to be not only functional, but also safe and easy to handle. Both the handles and the knob of the lids are made of cast iron, which means that they also get hot during cooking. To avoid burns, the use of heat-resistant protective gloves is essential. This precaution ensures safe and comfortable handling, especially when moving the pans between different cooking surfaces or when serving food directly from the pan to the table. In addition, the robust design of the set gives it an elegant, rustic look that fits perfectly in both modern kitchens and outdoor barbecue environments.
Ideal for a variety of recipes
With capacities of 1.3 litres for the 21cm casserole dish and 2.2 litres for the 26cm casserole dish, this set offers great versatility in terms of what you can cook. From traditional recipes such as stews, soups and casseroles, to artisan breads or even baked desserts, these casseroles allow cooks to experiment with a wide range of techniques and dishes. In addition, their excellent heat retention capacity makes them ideal for keeping food warm for long periods, which is perfect for family gatherings or dinners with friends where diners can serve themselves directly from the casseroles.
Other applications beyond the barbecue
While these pans are designed specifically for OFYR barbecues, their use is not limited to outdoor cooking. Thanks to their robust, heat-resistant construction, they can be used on any type of modern cooker, including induction, gas or ceramic hobs. They are also ideal for use in the oven, making them the perfect tool for cooking homemade pizzas, rustic breads, or even for slow baking meats and vegetables. This makes them extremely versatile, allowing users to use them in any environment and for a variety of culinary purposes, both indoors and outdoors.
