The self-basting lid is a clever addition; its raised bumps capture steam and direct it back onto your food, helping retain moisture and flavour without the need for frequent attention. It’s no surprise that many users found it perfect for slow-cooked stews and roasting, praising its ability to deliver tender, flavoursome results.
One minor drawback noted is the heat transfer to the handles and lid during cooking, which can become very hot quickly; however, this is common with metal cookware and easily managed with oven gloves. Overall, this casserole dish offers excellent value and versatility, contributing to more enjoyable and confident cooking experiences.
