Roasters and Casserole Pots

What is the difference between a roaster and a casserole pot?

In a roaster, you sear ingredients and then braise them further with the addition of liquid in the oven at approx. 360°F.  The large size and the curved lid with Fissler Condensate Plus function allow moisture to circulate optimally in the pot. The condensation dripping down from the lid makes meat particularly tender extremely juicy. Roasters with high-capacity lids offer space for a Sunday roast, smaller poultry, or delicious vegetables.

A casserole pot is a shallow pot with a larger diameter and tight-fitting lid in the shape of a classic stock pot. In a roasting pot you can also prepare fish and vegetarian recipes.

A roasting pot is also suitable for the preparation of stews and for steaming. Compared to a tall stock pot, less condensation is deposited on the flatter stew pot wall. With the aid of the Condensate Plus function in the lid of the Original-Profi Collection®, the steam circulates optimally and drips back onto the food, making it even juicier and more tender. A roasting pan offers sufficient volume to add liquid after browning.

How do I choose the right size?

The optimum pot size depends on the portion size and the number of people. Fissler offers suitable roasters and roasting pots for every application:

  • Original-Profi Collection® Roaster with High Dome Lid, 5.1-quart
  • Original-Profi Collection® Casserole pot – available in 1.5-quart, 2.7-quart, and 4.9-quart

In general, the more space there is in the pot, the more evenly the heat can circulate. Therefore, if in doubt, it is better to use a slightly larger roaster or casserole pot.

Roaster or Casserole pot - many cooking options

If you choose a roaster or casserole pot, you have various preparation methods at your disposal. Roasters and casserole pots are ideal for searing, braising, and stewing.

Stew

When braising, cook meat hot with a little oil. Then cook it on the stove or oven with the addition of liquid with the lid on at low temperature. Searing creates intense roasted flavors, which are bound by the liquid during braising. When braised slowly at a low temperature, meat becomes soft and tender.

Roasters and casserole pots with a low rim that have a nice roasting surface and a tight-fitting lid are suitable for braising. You will achieve particularly good results with an energy-efficient and calibrated cookware base such as the CookStar® base in the Original-Profi Collection® series, which offers optimum heat distribution.

Steaming

When foods with a high-water content such as vegetables, fruit, white meat, and fish are cooked in a covered pot with little fat or liquid at a medium temperature (approx. 160-210°F), this is called steaming. In addition to the intrinsic flavor of the ingredients, vitamins, minerals, and colorants are largely retained.

It is best to steam your ingredients in casserole pots or roasters with lids and flat pot walls, sufficient capacity, and wide size. Cookware that is too small, especially without lids, such as fry pans or woks, aren’t great for steaming.
