Do you enjoy cooking Italian dishes and want to delight your family with inspiring meals beyond pasta and pizza? The cast iron casserole from the BALLARINI Bellamonte series allows you to do just that. This braiser has evolved from the Northern Italian tradition of "paiolo di ghisa," where dishes like meat and vegetable stews or polenta were prepared in a cast iron pot over an open fire. You can also cook over an open flame with our braiser – but perhaps more interesting for you is that it is suitable for all types of cooktops, including induction. The interplay of several factors ensures ideal cooking results with the induction braiser. First and foremost is the cast iron. This material has particularly good heat conduction and distribution. Cast iron intensifies the flavors of the food and imparts a pronounced roasted aroma – perfect for slow cooking as well. Additionally, the braiser features a lid with Drop Structure.
