Casserole dish - on hob and in over

[DrTrillianAstra]

Can anyone recommend a casserole dish, the sort that I can use to fry onions/seal meat on top of a gas hob and then put in the oven?

What material would such a wonderful object be made of? Do you have one? Where did you get it? Was it expensive?

PS I'm pretty certain that I can't afford and also that I won't be able to lift anything made by Le Creuset...

I have a Le Creuset one and it is heavy when full but im only little and I manage it. Thats the only one I trust to use on the hob and in the oven.

Mistake in thread title

I have Fissler pots, the Profi line I think that they are called. I use them to fry stuff then pop in oven.

Similar to this one

They are not cheap but we got them as a wedding present and they are still like new 11.5 years later. They were the best present we got.

That looks lovely, but since we're not married yet is there anything less expensive that would work for the meantime?

You could try WMF or Berndes, or any company that does stainless steel pots that are oven proof.

I hadn't thought of stainless steel before, I was thinking of stoneware (whatever it's really called) pots and trying to tell if they were gas-hob-proof. Thanks for the tip.

Wow, that's proper research, thanks for your hard work!

Is 7.6 litres really really enormous?

7.6l is huge. Unless you are a family of 8 or wanting to cook large amounts a 5l one would be fine.

Just looked at my pots, I have a 5l one and a 7l one but rarely use the biggest one. I think I have used it about 5 times, when making huge pot of chili for a party.

No problem, it was either waste time on here googling kitchenware or do the ironing.
