The Cataplana with base for 3-4 Diners (GAS - CERAMIC HOB) is a Portuguese artisanal casserole specifically designed for gas stoves and ceramic hob due to its curved base.

With this utensil, you can cook all kinds of food in a healthy way.

This cataplana is made traditionally and artisanally with copper on the outside and tin on the inside.

The cataplana is a unique casserole due to its spherical shape, which allows for steaming large quantities of food, providing a healthy, natural, and nutritious character to all the dishes prepared in it.

It consists of two spherical halves joined by hinges that create a hermetic seal, allowing for the steaming of the food. Its closing system is similar to that of old-fashioned lunchboxes, with cataplanas being precursors to the modern pressure cookers we all know.

The preparation begins with a sauté of oil, garlic, peppers, vegetables, and potatoes, to which fish or meat, a splash of wine, and some bay leaves or other herbs are added to give them an extra flavor.

At this point, the cataplana is covered with its top piece and closed to complete the steaming of all the ingredients. By cooking with steam, the original aromas and flavors of the ingredients are preserved, thanks to the hermetic seal of the cataplana, enhancing and enhancing the flavor of the stews prepared in it.

The most popular cataplanas are those with 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 when it is ready to be served and eaten.

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