Features:
- Authentically Crafted in Portugal: Handmade in Portugal by skilled artisans using centuries-old techniques, this traditional Algarve-style cataplana is perfect for cooking authentic seafood stews, rice dishes, and more, while its hand-hammered copper construction ensures even heat distribution and a unique, artisanal aesthetic.
- Safe & Non-Reactive Tin-Lined Interior: To prevent copper from reacting with acidic foods (like tomatoes, citrus, or vinegar)—which can alter flavor and pose health risks—the interior is lined with food-safe tin, providing a naturally non-stick surface that's easy to clean and ideal for delicate cooking.
- Clamshell Design with Secure Locking Lid: The hinged two-part design seals tightly to trap steam, locking in moisture and flavor, while the secure latch keeps the pot closed during cooking—perfect for braising, steaming, or simmering dishes like seafood paella, curries, and risotto.
- Three Versatile Sizes for Every Need:
- Small (8.2" x 4.25") – Ideal for 1-2 servings, sauces, or sides.
- Medium (11.8" x 6.5") – Best for 2-4 people (great for seafood, stews, or rice).
- Large (12.9" x 6.75") – Fits family-sized meals or whole fish, clams, and chorizo.
- Multi-Functional & Stovetop-Friendly: Designed for steaming, braising, sautéing, and even serving, this cataplana works on gas, electric, induction (with adapter), and ceramic stoves—though high-heat searing should be avoided to protect the tin lining.
- Easy Maintenance & Care: Hand wash with mild soap (avoid abrasives) to preserve the tin lining, ensuring long-lasting performance and timeless appeal—a perfect gift for chefs and food enthusiasts.
