Shallow Cast Iron Casserole with Lid – Non Stick Dutch Oven Pot, Oven Safe up to 500° F – Sturdy Ovenproof Stockpot Cookware – Enamelled Cooking Pot – Orange, 3.7-Quart, 30cm – by Nuovva

I have Prime. Ordered Saturday, arrived Sunday, delivered by Amazon. Faultless.Initial impressions were very good. I chose the dark blue 32 cm shallow casserole, and the blue enamelling is quite striking.Having eventually removed the casserole from the packaging - it is very well protected - I gave it a quick wash using a nylon scrubby then immediately set about putting my new cookware to work to make a Lancashire hotpot.I have owned Le Creuset ironware for well over forty years - from the time before it became so ridiculously over priced - and my new casserole more than holds its own when compared alongside in looks. The enamelling seems to be of an equivalent standard, the thickness and weight of the ironware seems to be entirely comparable. Considering the price differential between the two brands, these impressions lead to a very considerable weighting in favour of the Nuovva product. Very impressed.I was slightly surprised to read that the casserole did not need seasoning, but I took the manufacturer at their word. I can now confirm that seasoning is not necessary. Very impressed.Using the casserole on my induction hob, I browned the meat and vegetables in a little dripping, then combined all the ingredients, put the sliced potatoes on the top and transferred the whole thing directly to the top oven.A few hours later, I sat down to a very evenly cooked meal. The casserole kept the food warm long enough for me to return for a second helping of cholesterol laden comfort food. Very impressed.Washing up was very easy, again using a nylon scrubby, the casserole came up clean with very little effort. Very impressed.Two things of which a potential buyer should be aware:1. Size: This casserole has a large footprint, and the excellently designed handles make it quite a big piece of kitchen-ware. You will need a standard 60cm outside width oven to use this, anything smaller simply will not accommodate.2. Weight: This is a large piece of cast iron, and as such is fairly hefty in nature. For those people who have not used cast iron cookware before, this will mean that the weight may come as a bit of a surprise. I by no means share the physique of Arnold Schwarzenegger, but I managed to lift it, whilst containing around five or six pounds of food very easily, thanks to the well designed handles.In summary, this casserole is a large, heavy, piece of cast iron cookware, giving every impression of having been manufactured to a very high standard. The enamelling is beautifully executed and the design is very attractive. Food cooks evenly inside of it, and the washing up process is simple.Obviously, I have not been able to test longevity, but all the indications are that this item will continue to be used by whomever buys it from the house clearance sale long after I have croaked.Worth every penny. 100% recommendation.

Seems sturdy enough. Very heavy cast iron and with all such pots, the know is attached by one screw that needs to be checked for tightness with each use. So far, I'm very pleased with it. Haven't tried it on an induction hob yet, though.

Fantastic shallow casserole, just what I needed. Made shepards pie in it , from hob to under grill , great, don't hesitate buy one. Fantastic value , looks great, easy to clean.😃

Solid. Heavy. Requires careful handling when hot. But it produces good results. Happy.

Great colour, great size, easy to clean, not too heavy. Very pleased with this purchase

This is the worse product I have ever boughtHandles too hot dish very heavy almost impossible to left into the oven and getting in out when hot was. NightmareDO NOT buy this product HEALTH AND SAFTEY RISKI wish I could send it back

I've always avoided cast iron due to the weight but I wanted something to go from cooker top to oven. Have found moving lid and base separately deals with the weight. Did a lasagne type recipe in it (ideal size for 3/4 person) and ended up with bits of pasta stuck to the inside base. Thought I'd have to soak it forever but it cleaned off easily with first wash. Looks great, a beautiful blue. No problems with gas hob/oven and the quality seems good. Enamel smooth and looks even. Having snorted a laugh at the price of a certain famous brand this is excellent value for money so long as the enamel holds. Only time will tell but no reason it shouldn't if treated like non stick which is what they basically advise (no metal spoons etc). A good addition to the kitchen.

Excellent value and quality
