Cataplana for 4-5 Diners (GAS - CERAMIC HOB)

The Cataplana 4-5 Diners (GAS - CERAMIC HOB) is a Portuguese handmade pot specifically designed for gas stoves and ceramic hob.

Its curved base allows for healthy cooking of a wide variety of foods.

This cataplana is made in a traditional and artisanal way, with copper on the outside and tin on the inside.

The cataplana is a unique pot 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 that are joined together by hinges, achieving a tight seal that allows for the steaming of 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, along with a splash of wine and bay leaves or other herbs to enhance the flavor.

At this point, the cataplana is covered with its top piece and closed to complete the steaming of the ingredients. By cooking with steam, the original aromas and flavors of the ingredients are preserved, thanks to the tight seal of the cataplana, stews will always enhance and bring out all their flavor.

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

Once the cooking is finished, the presentation of the dish is kept a 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.
