This is really special! Legendary designer Timo Sarpaneva’s clean, functional Cast Iron Sarpaneva Casserole represents the ultimate in modern Scandinavian design with a touch of Finnish folklore - the cast iron material and detachable wooden handle are intended to recall shelter from the forest and cooking over a fire. The Sarpaneva’s iconic design status was commemorated in 1998 with a Finnish postage stamp. The heavy iron ensures slow, even cooking whether on the stove or in the oven, whilst the enamel surface guarantees easy cleaning and the ingenious curved wooden handle make it hassle free to take the pan from oven to table. The Sarpaneva Casserole Pan makes a truly thoughtful gift.
