Ask a Question About This Product
This 20cm shallow casserole is a compact induction-compatible vessel for sauces, reductions, and small-batch prep in commercial kitchens. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with high-frequency cleaning protocols. Used in hotel kitchens, catering units, and bistro service lines where space and hygiene standards require durable, stackable cookware.
Commercial Application
Shallow casseroles fit into fast-turnover workflows where sauces, glazes, and garnishes are prepared in controlled volumes. The 20cm diameter handles 1-2 portions during plating or 500ml batch prep for sauce stations. Induction compatibility reduces energy waste and allows rapid temperature adjustment during service.
Used during mise en place and active service periods. Chefs hold reductions at controlled temperatures or finish protein glazes without moving to dedicated sauce pans. The fitted lid retains heat between plating cycles and prevents contamination during hold periods in pass areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What steel grade is used in this casserole?
A: The casserole is constructed from 18/10 stainless steel (304 grade equivalent). This grade resists corrosion from acidic ingredients and maintains structural integrity under commercial cleaning protocols.
Q: What is the maximum load capacity for this unit?
A: The 20cm shallow casserole holds approximately 1.5 litres when filled to the rim. Safe working volume during stovetop use is 1.2 litres to prevent spillage during stirring and transport.
Q: Does this casserole have adjustable handles or mounting options?
A: Handles are fixed and riveted to the body. No adjustment or detachment options are available. This design maintains structural integrity during repeated thermal stress and manual handling.
Q: Is the lid designed to prevent splashing during boiling?
A: The fitted lid reduces evaporation and contains minor splatter. It is not designed as a sealed pressure lid. Vent gaps allow steam release during sustained boiling.
Q: Can this casserole be ordered in custom sizes for specific workflow needs?
A: This model is supplied in the standard 20cm configuration only. Custom sizing is not available for this product line. Karaca produces 24cm and 28cm versions under separate model numbers.
