Cataplana with base for 6-7 Diners (GAS - CERAMIC HOB)

We present the Cataplana with base for 6-7 Diners (GAS - CERAMIC HOB), a handmade Portuguese casserole designed especially for gas stoves and ceramic hob.

Its curved base allows for healthy cooking of all types of foods.

Made traditionally with copper on the exterior and tin on the interior, this cataplana is unique for its spherical shape, which allows for steaming large quantities of food, providing a healthy, natural, and nutritious character to all dishes.

The cataplana consists of two spherical halves joined by hinges, ensuring a hermetic seal for steaming the food. This closing system is similar to that of old-fashioned lunchboxes and, in fact, cataplanas were predecessors of modern pressure cookers.

To prepare delicious dishes, start with a sauté of oil, garlic, peppers, vegetables, and potatoes. Then add the desired fish or meats, a splash of wine, and some bay leaves or other herbs to give it that flavor we love.

Once this is done, cover the cataplana with its top piece and close it so that the ingredients cook by steam. By cooking with steam, the original aromas and flavors of the ingredients are preserved, thanks to the hermetic seal of the cataplana, stews will always enhance and bring out all their flavor.

Cataplanas are famous for their fish or seafood dishes with rice or potatoes, but they can also be prepared with meat, poultry, pasta, mushrooms, or other fungi.

Once the cooking is finished, the presentation of the dish is a spectacle, as the entire cataplana is brought to the table covered. It is only opened at the moment of serving and eating, which adds a touch of mystery and anticipation.

Cooking with a cataplana is an art that is perfected over time, and a ritual that will undoubtedly capture the attention of all your diners.
