The DUCQ cast iron frying pan in an oval shape measures 31 cm in length and 24 cm in width, providing ample space for frying lamb shanks or preparing stews, while maintaining a compact size for the oven. Made from durable cast iron, this pan features even heat distribution and retention, making it ideal for slow cooking methods such as braising, stewing, and simmering. The included lid has a condensation design that returns moisture to the dish, ensuring that meat remains tender and flavorful throughout the cooking process. This pan has an exceptionally smooth, rounded bottom that is compatible with all heat sources, including induction cooktops. After searing meat on the stovetop, the pan can be used directly in the oven, with a maximum temperature tolerance of 250 °C. The black enamel coating provides a non-reactive cooking surface that prevents sticking and simplifies cleaning. With its versatile oval shape, this pan accommodates larger cuts of meat while still being space-saving in standard ovens. The cast iron construction ensures consistent performance across various cooking applications, from soups and stews to roasts. The ergonomic handles stay cool during stovetop use and provide a secure grip when transitioning between cooking surfaces. This pan is a practical addition to any kitchen that values high-quality cookware for daily meal preparation.
