Cataplana for 3-4 Diners (GAS - CERAMIC HOB)

The Cataplana for 3-4 Diners (GAS - CERAMIC HOB) is a Portuguese artisanal pot designed especially for gas stoves and ceramic hob.

Its curved base will allow you to cook all kinds of food in a healthy way.

Elaborated in a traditional way 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. This gives a healthy, natural, and nutritious character to all the dishes you prepare.

The cataplana consists of two spherical halves that are joined together by hinges, achieving a hermetic seal that allows for steaming of the food. Its closing system is similar to that of old lunchboxes and, in fact, cataplanas are precursors to the modern pressure cookers we all know.

To prepare your dishes, start with a sauté of oil, garlic, peppers, vegetables, and potatoes. Then, add the fish or meats you want to cook, along with a splash of wine and some bay leaves or other herbs to give them extra flavor.

Once this is done, cover the cataplana with its top piece and close it to complete the steaming of the ingredients. By cooking with steam, the original aromas and flavors of the ingredients are preserved, enhancing the taste of the stews you prepare in the cataplana.

The most famous cataplanas are those with fish or seafood with rice or potatoes, but you can also make them with meat, poultry, pasta, mushrooms, or other mushrooms.

At the end of the cooking, the presentation of the dish holds a secret until the last moment. The cataplana is brought to the table whole and covered, and it is only opened when it is ready to be served and eaten.

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