Cataplana for 5-6 Diners (GAS - CERAMIC HOB)

We present the Cataplana 5-6 Diners (GAS - CERAMIC HOB), an artisan Portuguese casserole designed especially for gas stoves and ceramic hob.

Its curved base allows for healthy cooking, and its handmade construction with copper on the exterior and tin on the interior guarantees its quality.

The cataplana is a unique casserole due to its spherical shape, ideal for steaming large quantities of food in a healthy, natural, and nutritious way.

It is composed of two spherical halves joined by hinges that ensure a tight seal, allowing for the steam cooking of the food. This closing system is similar to that of old-fashioned lunch boxes, and cataplanas are considered precursors to modern pressure cookers.

For its use, you start with a sauté of oil, garlic, peppers, vegetables, and potatoes, to which you add the desired fish or meats, a splash of wine, and bay leaves or other herbs to enhance the flavor.

Once the cataplana is covered with its top piece, the steam cooking of all the ingredients begins. The main advantage of this technique is that it preserves the original aromas and flavors of the ingredients, as the cataplana is tightly sealed, enhancing and maximizing the flavor of the stews.

The most popular cataplanas are those with fish or seafood with rice or potatoes, but they can also be made 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, as the cataplana is brought to the table whole and covered, only being opened at the moment of serving and eating.

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