Roasting pan ZWILLING 40500-281-0 6.7 L Cast iron Black

The ZWILLING 40500-281-0 roasting pan is a 6.7 L cast iron cookware piece finished in matte black. With external dimensions of approximately 280 mm width and 352 mm depth, this roasting pan is engineered for steady heat retention and even heat distribution. The cast iron construction and black enamel interior enable a broad range of preparations from roasting meats and vegetables to baking breads and slow-cooked casseroles. The robust build supports frequent use and long service life while the enamel finish reduces the need for excess fats during frying.

Advantages

The cast iron body provides excellent heat retention and uniform cooking results, reducing hot spots and supporting consistent browning. The matte black enamel surface helps intensify flavours and simplifies cleaning compared with untreated cast iron. Its 6.7 L capacity accommodates medium to large roasts and family-sized portions, while the solid construction offers energy-efficient cooking by maintaining stable temperatures for longer periods.

Suitable for

• Roasting whole poultry, joints of meat and large vegetables
• Slow-cooking stews, casseroles and braises
• Baking bread and oven-based desserts
• Searing and finishing foods on the stovetop and transferring to the oven

Key specifications

• Material: enameled cast iron for heat retention and durability
• Capacity: 6.7 litres
• Finish: matte black enamel
• External dimensions: approximately 280 mm (width) × 352 mm (depth)
• Suitable for oven and stovetop use (check appliance maximum temperatures before use)

How to use

Preheat oven or stovetop as required by your recipe. Use the roasting pan to sear meats on the stovetop to develop colour, then transfer to the oven to complete cooking; the cast iron body will maintain even temperatures during both stages. For braising or slow-cooking, add liquids and aromatics and cook at low to moderate oven temperatures for the recommended time. Allow the pan to cool slightly before cleaning; avoid sudden temperature shocks to protect the enamel finish.

Recommendations

Use wooden, silicone or heat-resistant plastic utensils to avoid scratching the enamel surface. For best results when roasting, preheat the pan gradually and avoid pouring cold liquids into a very hot pan. Hand wash with warm water and a soft sponge; for stubborn residues, soak briefly. Seasoning is not required because of the enamel coating, but occasional drying and light oiling of any exposed cast iron edges will help prevent rust.
