Cast Aluminium Cookware

Cast Aluminium Cookware gives professional kitchens fast, even heat with a lighter weight than traditional cast iron. This range includes non-stick casserole dishes, roasters and matching glass lids to handle everything from slow braises to high-volume roasting. Ideal for restaurants, hotels, cafes and contract caterers, these pans help maintain stable cooking temperatures and consistent results. Durable construction and easy-clean finishes support efficient, hygienic service in busy Irish kitchens.

• Non-stick cast aluminium casserole dishes in popular diameters for stews, curries and one-pot dishes.
• Cast aluminium roasters in multiple sizes, perfect for joints of meat, poultry and batch roasting vegetables.
• Tempered glass lids for casseroles and roasters, allowing you to monitor cooking without losing heat or moisture.
• Excellent heat distribution across the base and sides to minimise hot spots and improve browning.
• Lighter than cast iron for easier handling on the line, while still offering robust, long-lasting performance.
• Versatile cookware suitable for restaurant kitchens, hotel banqueting, gastropubs and catering operations.

How to choose the right Cast Aluminium Cookware

• Match casserole and roaster sizes to your menu portions and oven capacity, allowing enough room for circulation and safe handling.
• Consider depth as well as length and width when selecting roasters for larger joints, layered dishes or high-volume vegetable trays.
• Choose cookware with compatible glass lids where you need to retain moisture for braises, stews and slow-cooked dishes.
• Think about service style: select more compact pieces for a la carte cooking and larger roasters for banqueting or carvery service.
• Check weight and handle design to ensure staff can move hot dishes safely between hob, oven and pass.
• Review non-stick specifications and temperature ratings to ensure they suit your cooking methods and equipment.

Care and maintenance

• Allow cast aluminium pans to cool slightly before cleaning to avoid thermal shock and extend coating life.
• Wash by hand with mild detergent and a soft cloth or sponge, avoiding abrasive pads that can damage non-stick surfaces.
• Use only non-metallic utensils to protect the non-stick coating and maintain easy food release.
• Dry cookware and glass lids thoroughly before storage to prevent staining and maintain a hygienic finish.
• Avoid overheating empty pans, which can stress both the aluminium body and the non-stick layer.
• Store with pan protectors or cloths between stacked items to prevent scratching and prolong service life.
