Know before you buy
A Cassadou is a traditional French deep-sided sauté pan. Unlike a Dutch oven, which is typically taller and more cylindrical, the Cassadou features a wider base and sloped sides, making it better suited for sautéing, searing, and reducing sauces while still offering enough depth for braising.
Yes, the enameled cast iron construction is fully compatible with all heat sources, including induction, gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen stovetops.
While the pan is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the luster of the enamel finish over time. The smooth interior makes it easy to clean even after searing meats or braising.
The Cassadou is oven-safe up to 500°F, making it perfectly suitable for high-heat roasting or finishing dishes under the broiler.
No, the interior is coated with a durable, chip-resistant enamel that does not require seasoning. You can start cooking with it immediately after a quick wash.
Yes, the pan comes with a matching, tight-fitting lid designed to lock in moisture and heat, which is essential for effective braising and slow-cooking.
