PYREX cast-iron casserole with lid, 4 l, green

Product detailed description

A genuine PYREX cast-iron casserole , which you will love not only for its beautiful design, but mainly for its cooking method, which takes home cooking to a completely different level. The elegant dark green design looks luxurious and timeless, while the solid cast-iron body makes it clear from the first time you hold it that you are holding a truly high-quality piece of cookware. It is exactly the type of casserole that will not become just an ordinary pot, but the dominant feature of the entire kitchen.

The cast-iron casserole with lid excels in its ability to distribute heat evenly and retain it for a long time , making it ideal for slow cooking, stewing, baking and preparing juicy meat dishes. Food does not burn as quickly in cast iron, flavours blend beautifully and the result is perfectly cooked and significantly tastier dishes. This is why cast-iron pots and casseroles are popular not only among home-cooking enthusiasts, but also professional chefs. Cast iron also retains heat very well even after being removed from the hob, so dishes remain warm longer when served. The enamelled surface is food-safe and contains no PFAS , enabling safer and more natural preparation of dishes without undesirable substances.

The 4-litre capacity provides sufficient space for preparing larger portions, family lunches and festive meals. The casserole is suitable for all types of cookers, including induction, and can also be used in the oven at up to 280°C. The solid lid helps retain moisture and aroma inside, so meat remains beautifully juicy and sauces gain a fuller flavour. Another major advantage is the solid lid with special internal projections. During cooking, these help capture the steam produced and return it evenly to the dish being prepared. As a result, meat remains juicier , sauces fuller and dishes do not dry out unnecessarily during long baking or stewing. You will especially appreciate this effect when preparing slow-cooked meats, goulash, roast meat or homemade bread.

And that is precisely where the magic of cast iron lies – it does not cook faster, but it cooks better

Advice and tips

The cast-iron casserole is ideal for slow cooking, homemade bread baking, braised meat, goulash, sauces or rich stock. Thanks to its ability to retain heat for a long time, it is also excellent for serving directly at the table, where the dish remains hot and ready to serve for longer.

When cooking in cast-iron cookware, you will especially appreciate even heating without significant temperature fluctuations , which helps preserve the juiciness and stronger flavour of prepared dishes. This is why cast iron is so popular for preparing slow-cooked dishes or baking in the oven.

To preserve its attractive appearance and long service life we recommend using gentle kitchen utensils and avoiding sudden temperature shocks. Solid cast-iron cookware heats gradually, but retains the heat gained considerably longer than ordinary pots or roasting dishes. 

The browning of the enamel that appears over time is normal and indicates the formation of a protective non-stick layer; do not try to remove it. If burnt food residues settle on the enamel, soak it for several hours before cleaning. If white limescale marks are visible, they can be cleaned with a sponge soaked in vinegar. Rinse and dry immediately after washing to prevent rust from forming on the unglazed rim.

Cast-iron cookware is very hot during cooking and after being removed from the hob. When handling it, always use quality oven gloves or protective mats to prevent burns.

The cast-iron casserole also combines perfectly with other cookware for slow cooking, baking and home cooking. For larger baked dishes or family lunches, we also recommend practical roasting dishes with lids , which help keep meat beautifully juicy and full of flavour. For baking smaller portions, lasagne or sweet desserts, glass baking dishes are an excellent choice, allowing convenient baking and stylish serving.

If you enjoy cooking in cast iron, you will certainly appreciate other casseroles and cooking pots , which help create a perfectly coordinated set for everyday cooking and festive occasions. When handling hot cookware, we recommend using quality oven gloves , ensuring safer and more comfortable work in the kitchen.

To preserve the attractive enamelled surface, it is also ideal to use gentle kitchen utensils , which help protect the inner finish of the cookware from scratching. And if you enjoy baking homemade bread, meat or proper baked dishes, you will certainly appreciate practical baking aids, which make preparation and baking itself easier.

Pyrex – from an American idea to a French kitchen icon

The brand Pyrex® was established in 1915 in the USA, when Bessie and Jessie Littleton, with the help of NONEX glass from Corning, laid the foundations for the first exceptionally durable glass baking dish. Several years later, the Pyrex story moved to Europe: from 1922 borosilicate glass began to be produced in France and in 1970 the main production moved to the plant in Châteauroux , where Pyrex has been formed, pressed and produced ever since – this is where a giant furnace covering almost 100 m² stands and processes over 150 tonnes of raw materials daily. Pyrex can therefore legitimately rely on the designation Made in France and the quality associated with it

Thanks to continuous innovation, Pyrex glass products today withstand extreme temperatures from –40 °C to +350 °C and thermal shocks of up to 240 °C (EN 1183). The brand has also expanded its range beyond iconic glass – since 2004 it has included metal and ceramic cookware, pans and saucepans. At its core, however, the essential qualities remain: durable, hygienic and taste-neutral materials that make cooking and serving easier across generations.
