Essteele Casseroles — Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Essteele casseroles different from other cookware?
Essteele casseroles combine thoughtful Italian design with heavy-duty construction for even heat distribution and lasting performance. They feel solid in use, look modern on the bench, and are built to deliver reliable results in everyday cooking — which is why many New Zealand kitchens choose them.
Are Essteele casseroles oven-safe?
Yes — most Essteele casseroles are designed to move from stovetop to oven, meaning you can braise, finish under the grill, or slow-cook with confidence. Check the specific product details for the maximum oven temperature for that model.
Can I use Essteele casseroles on an induction cooktop?
Yes. Essteele casseroles are made with an induction-compatible base and also work well on gas, ceramic, and electric cooktops — a practical choice for NZ homes with mixed appliances.
Are Essteele non-stick casseroles safe and long-lasting?
Essteele uses modern non-stick coatings that are PFOA-free and built to resist wear when used correctly. With sensible temperatures, non-metal utensils, and gentle cleaning, the non-stick surface will remain effective for many cooking sessions.
What size casserole should I buy for a family?
For most families in New Zealand, a 24cm–28cm casserole covers weekday dinners and small roast or stew recipes well. If you regularly entertain or cook for larger groups, choose a larger size to avoid overcrowding ingredients.
Do Essteele casseroles feel heavy to handle?
They have a reassuring weight thanks to premium construction but are engineered to balance performance with comfortable handling. You’ll notice the solidity during cooking without it being cumbersome to lift or serve from.
Can I wash my Essteele casserole in a dishwasher?
Many Essteele pieces are dishwasher-safe, but to preserve finishes and any non-stick coatings we recommend handwashing in warm soapy water when you can. A gentle scrub keeps the exterior and interior looking like new.
Do Essteele casseroles come with a warranty?
Yes — Essteele supports its cookware with a manufacturer warranty that covers production faults. Warranty length and terms vary by range, so check the product page or packaged information for the exact coverage.
Are the lids oven-safe?
Glass lids are typically oven-safe to moderate temperatures, while stainless steel lids tolerate higher heat. Always verify the lid material and maximum oven rating for the specific model you own or plan to buy.
What are Essteele casseroles best used to cook?
They’re extremely versatile — ideal for slow-cooked stews, curries, risotto, braises, oven roasts and one-pot family meals. Their even heat makes them especially good for dishes that need steady, reliable cooking.
How should I care for my Essteele non-stick casserole to keep it looking great?
Use wooden, silicone or nylon utensils to avoid scratches, don’t heat an empty pan to very high temperatures, allow cookware to cool before washing, and store with a soft barrier between stacked pieces. These small habits extend the life and look of your cookware.
Is Essteele cookware a good gift?
Yes — Essteele’s premium feel and attractive styling make it a thoughtful and useful gift for weddings, housewarmings, or anyone who enjoys cooking. It’s a present that’s both practical and long-lasting.
