Reinforced flat bottom cataplana for 5-6 Diners

We present the Cataplana with reinforced flat bottom, specially designed for ceramic hob.

This handmade Portuguese casserole will allow you to cook a wide variety of healthy foods.

Made in a traditional and artisanal way, it has a copper exterior and a high-quality tin interior.

The cataplana is known for its spherical shape, which allows for steaming large quantities of food, providing a healthy, natural, and nutritious character to all the dishes you prepare.

This casserole consists of two spherical halves that are joined together by hinges, achieving a hermetic seal that allows for steaming the food. Its closing system is similar to that of old-fashioned lunch boxes and, in fact, cataplanas are precursors to modern pressure cookers.

For its use, it is recommended to start with a sauté of oil, garlic, peppers, vegetables, and potatoes. Then, add the desired fish or meat, along with a splash of wine and bay leaves or other herbs to add an additional flavor.

Once the ingredients are added, cover the cataplana with its top piece and close it to finish the steaming. One of the main advantages of steaming 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 enhance and maximize their flavor.

Cataplanas are especially popular for preparing fish or seafood dishes with rice or potatoes, although they can also be used with tender meats, poultry, pasta, mushrooms, or other mushrooms.

Once the cooking is finished, the presentation of the dish is a spectacle. The cataplana is brought to the table covered and only opened at the moment of serving and starting to enjoy the meal.

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