The Le Creuset 24cm Cast Iron Balti Dish is an exceptional piece of cast iron cookware for anyone who loves to cook up delicious, authentic curry dishes! Originating in the mountainous region of Baltistan in Northern Pakistan, the Balti has become infamous in British-Indian cuisine but did you know the term "Balti" actually refers to the iron pot the dish is cooked in?
"Balti" means bucket which is why the Le Creuset 24cm Cast Iron Balti Dish has been designed with a wide flat base, with deep sloped sides that allow for even heat distribution and enhance slow-cooking for tender, succulent dishes. The dish features two large, easy-grip handles, making it effortless to transfer your meals directly from the hob to the table (using oven gloves, of course!). You don't need to transfer the contents into a serving dish to make a statement, and because cast iron has such excellent heat retention, your delicious creations will stay hotter for longer!
This cast iron Balti dish has been coated with Le Creuset's protective satin black enamelled finish making it hygienic (no seasoning required) and ensuring there is no flavour transfer the next time you use the pan. Extremely durable, this long-lasting surface withstands high temperatures and will not wear off or peel. Over time, it will develop a natural patina that is ideal for searing and frying.
