Including a 20cm and 24cm round casserole, and a 29cm oval casserole dish, the range features rounded side walls and a curved interior base, for ease of stirring and one-pot cooking.
The heavy lids with concentric rings create a self-basting effect, while the steel lid knobs can withstand temperatures of up to 260°c. The enamelled cast iron warms gradually, accumulates heat evenly and retains it for a long time, making the dishes ideal for slow cooking and searing meat on the hob before putting in the oven.
Bryony Dyer, managing director of Dexam, commented: “We believe that there are some things which simply allow no compromise and, for us, French cast iron cookware is one. Chasseur has been producing exquisite quality cookware for over 75 years, each piece double-enamelled and checked for quality by a skilled human being, not a robot. What’s more, against the competition, the Chasseur range provides quality French cast iron at an affordable price.
“An on-trend colour for 2022, green brings a sense of wellbeing and calm into our lives and has positive associations with a fresh start – something we can all get on board with after the pandemic. The trend for greens is driven by our emotional connection to nature, and this new deep, vibrant and earthy Forest is a colour inspired by the dense foliage of our woodland. We are incredibly excited to launch this limited edition colour for winter 2022.”
