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

We present the Cataplana with base for 4-5 Diners (GAS - CERAMIC HOB), a Portuguese artisanal pot specifically designed for gas stoves and ceramic hob.

Its curved base will allow you to cook a wide variety of healthy foods.

Made in a traditional and artisanal way, this cataplana is made of copper on the outside and has a tin interior.

The cataplana is a unique pot in its spherical shape, which allows you to steam large quantities of food, providing a healthy, natural, and nutritious character to all the dishes you prepare.

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

The cooking process 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 enhance the flavor.

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

The main advantage of steam cooking is that it preserves the original aromas and flavors of the ingredients. Thanks to the hermetic seal of the cataplana, the stews cooked in it will always enhance and bring 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 fungi.

Once the cooking is finished, the presentation of the dish is a spectacle in itself, as the whole cataplana is brought to the table and covered, and only opened at the moment of serving and starting to eat.

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