Cataplana 2-3 Diners (GAS - CERAMIC HOB)

We present the Cataplana for 2-3 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 kinds of food.

This cataplana is made in a traditional and artisanal way, with copper on the exterior and a tin lining on the interior.

The cataplana is unique because of its spherical shape, which allows for steaming large quantities of food, providing a healthy, natural, and nutritious character to all dishes.

It consists of two spherical halves joined by hinges, ensuring a tight seal for steaming the food. Its closing system is similar to that of old-fashioned lunchboxes, and in fact, cataplanas were precursors to the modern pressure cookers we all know.

The preparation begins with a sauté of oil, garlic, peppers, vegetables, and potatoes. Then the desired fish or meat is added, a splash of wine, and some bay leaves or other herbs to give it that extra flavor we love.

At this point, the cataplana is covered with its top piece and closed to finish steaming all the ingredients.

The main advantage of steaming is that it preserves the original aromas and flavors of the ingredients. Thanks to the tight seal of the cataplana, the stews cooked in it will enhance and squeeze out all their flavor.

The most famous cataplanas are those of fish or seafood with rice or potatoes, but they can also be prepared with meat, poultry, pasta, mushrooms, or other mushrooms.

Once the cooking is finished, the presentation of the dish is kept secret until the last moment. The cataplana is brought to the table whole and covered, and it is only opened to start serving and eating.

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