Ask a Question About This Product
An 18cm shallow casserole designed for single-portion stovetop preparation in commercial kitchens and catering operations. Stainless steel construction with induction-compatible base allows use across gas, electric, and induction heat sources. Lid-equipped format supports controlled simmering and reducing in restaurant mise en place workflows.
Commercial Application
Operators use this unit for sauce reduction, single-serve braising, and individual portion stovetop finishing during service. The shallow profile provides rapid heat response for high-turnover stations. Induction compatibility enables placement on mobile induction units in prep areas or buffet service.
During active service, chefs deploy the casserole for tableside finishing or expedited single-portion cooking where presentation and speed align. The 18cm diameter suits individual entrée components without excess material or heat retention. Lid control supports moisture regulation during final plating stages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What stainless steel grade is used in this casserole?
A: The unit uses 18/10 stainless steel (304 equivalent) for food contact surfaces. The induction-compatible base incorporates a ferromagnetic layer within the tri-ply or disc construction. This grade meets CE, NSF, and CSA commercial kitchen standards.
Q: What is the maximum stovetop load capacity for this 18cm unit?
A: The casserole handles approximately 1.5–2 litres of liquid volume based on shallow depth. Structural integrity supports full-capacity stovetop use on gas, electric, and induction burners. Base thickness prevents warping under typical commercial heat cycling.
Q: Can the lid withstand repeated high-temperature use during service?
A: The stainless steel lid tolerates continuous stovetop exposure without warping or finish degradation. Operators should verify handle material before oven use if transferring units mid-preparation. Standard service involves stovetop-only deployment with lid in place.
Q: Is this casserole compatible with commercial induction ranges?
A: The induction-compatible base functions on standard commercial induction units rated 1.8–3.5 kW. The 18cm diameter matches small to medium induction zones. Base construction includes ferromagnetic material required for induction heat transfer.
Q: Are replacement lids available separately for this model?
A: TurcoBazaar provides replacement lid procurement for Karaca Elite casseroles through after-sales channels. Lead time depends on UK inventory status. Contact support with model number 000001000200340002 for lid replacement quotation and availability.
