Pleasantly light pre-seasoned cast iron casserole 28 cm with machined surface

ULTRA LIGHT cast iron casseroles by Swedish company RONNEBY BRUK are being made in an innovative pressure casting process. A special machining then gives the surface of ULTRA LIGHT products its characteric looks. This revolutionary manufacturing process allows for much thinner walls than in conventional cast iron, resulting in amazing weight reductions of up to 40%! That's why modern ULTRA LIGHT casseroles can even be used by people who used to shy away from conventional cast iron casseroles due to their heavy weight.

To make sure that you can start using your new casserole right away, the ULTRA LIGHT casseroles, like all raw cast iron products by Ronneby Bruk, are completely factory pre-seasoned with pure rapeseed oil. This protective seasoning layer is the optimal basis for the patina that gradually forms during frying, so your long-lasting ULTRA LIGHT casserole will actually get better and better over time.

PfannenProfis application tips: It is good practice to first fry insensitive foods a few times in a new raw cast iron pot so that the pores in the still fresh seasoning layer can saturate themselves with fat, so to speak. For example, frying fatty bacon in the new pot has proven to be a good way to do this. As soon as you have fried insensitive foods in the new pot a few times, you can venture into more sensitive foods such as egg dishes or foods with a high starch content. Please observe the instructions for use and care enclosed with the goods. You will also find many helpful tips in the "Frying School" brochure, which you can download here.

ULTRA LIGHT casseroles are much ligther than conventional cast iron casseroles, so they also heat up faster on the stove. We reommend you chose a lower setting on your stove when heating the casserole in order to avoid overheating the casserole or burning of the food. Especially on induction cooktops it is recommended to not use the Booster / Power setting, as this is only intended for heating large amounts of water; frying / roasting / braising on maximum heat will result in overheating of the casserole.

Cookware made of raw, uncoated cast iron may show traces of the casting process (small protrusions or indentations); such production marks do not constitute grounds for complaint.

Understanding the information on the size / diameter, height and capacity of cookware:

1) The most important information: diameter = upper inner diameter

The diameter is the most important indication of the size of pots and pans. The measurement is taken at the top inside , i.e. on the inside of the pan/pot rim; hence the designation upper inner diameter, which you will find in our item descriptions. A 28 cm pan has a diameter of 28 cm from one inner edge to the other inner edge. This measurement method is an international standard and authoritative, unless expressly stated otherwise in the item description.

For square pans (e.g. many grill pans) and roasters, the size is given as the product of two lengths. Here you measure again at the top inside, at the longest point, which is usually in the middle. For example, many grill pans have a size of 28 x 28 cm.

Fish pans and roasters often have an oval shape. As shown above with the square pans, the longest internal dimension is given here. Such a 38 cm fish pan has an inner length of 38 cm on its longest side. At right angles to this is the short side of eg 24 cm. As a result, the pan would be declared as 38 x 24 cm.

2) Bottom diameter = contact surface

When we talk about base diameter, we mean the diameter of the contact surface, i.e. the surface with which the pan, pot or roaster stands on the stove. Not meant is the frying surface! The information about the base diameter can be helpful when it comes to choosing a suitable cooking surface for the cookware. The size of the cooker and the diameter of the base of the cookware should match to a certain extent in order to avoid damage to the cookware and to ensure that the cookware functions as well as possible.

ATTENTION, induction-suitable aluminum cookware:

Please note that cookware made of aluminum / cast aluminum for induction cooking usually has a stainless steel disc on the base, the diameter of which is often smaller than that of the base (marked in blue in the picture). Where this applies, you will find the corresponding information in our item descriptions.

3) Height of pots and pans

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the indication of the height of a cookware describes the outer edge height, from the top edge of the cookware perpendicularly to the contact surface, without taking lids, handles etc. into account.

The inner height (i.e. from the frying surface up to the edge) can be determined approximately by subtracting the base thickness from the height.

4) Capacity of a cookware

When it comes to capacity, there are often misunderstandings: the capacity of a cookware indicates how much the container can hold at most. That always means filling up to the brim! This is international standard. The filling quantity that can be used when cooking is always less than the capacity.

Please note that in the case of pressure cookers, for safety reasons, the filling quantity permitted in pressure cooking is significantly lower than the capacity of the pot.
