Manufacturer's Description
Why Cast Iron?Cast iron is an excellent conductor of heat which ensures an even heat distribution on all heat sources including induction.
Why French Cast Iron? Quite simply it's the best. The Ardennes region of France has been manufacturing premium quality cast iron cookware for generations.
Why Chasseur? Chasseur Cast iron is all hand crafted for consistent quality with a double coating of enamel. The primer coat seals the body while the coloured top coat not only provides an attractive appearance but also adds to the durability of the product and allows easy cleaning. The Chasseur range consists of Round and Oval Casseroles, Saucepans, Oval and Rectangular Serving Dishes and Roasters, Pate terrines, numerous Frypans and Grillpans plus Woks and Fondues.
Why Serving Dishes? Can be used on the hob, in the oven and under the grill for cooking and / or roasting plus ideal for serving. The attractive colourful appearance means they can go straight from the cooker to the table where due to the heat retention of the Cast Iron they will keep your food warm for second helpings. And when you've cooked and served they are easy to clean either in the dishwasher or in hot soapy water.
Product Description
This casserole dish is constructed from high quality cast iron and double enamelled by hand, again going through rigorous quality checks at every stage of their finishing. The initial layer of enamel forms a solid base for the top coat of enamel, the Green coat, to adhere to, as well as inhibiting any corrosion that could occur if untreated cast iron left in contact with the air and moisture. Each piece receives a final quality check before packing into their distinctive Chasseur silver and grey boxes. The Chasseur Cast Iron range has been manufactured to the highest standards by skilled craftsmen, using time honoured techniques at our foundry in the Champagne Ardennes region of France, for over 70 years. Today these age old techniques have been updated, using modern technology where possible, to ensure that the foundry is able to produce consistently top quality products whilst reducing the environmental impact on their surrounding area. The environmental issues have been addressed through the recycling of both raw materials and materials used in the manufacture as well as the installation of a super efficient furnace with a sophisticated filtering system, making it one of the cleanest in Europe.
