- Pros: The heat retention is second to none, keeping dishes perfectly warm.
- Cons: It requires manual washing and seasoning, so no dishwashers allowed.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Inn in Polperro, Cornwall, wanted to upgrade their serveware to something more robust and visually appealing for their new coastal-inspired menu. They needed dishes that could handle a busy service and enhance the rustic feel of their food.
"These cast iron dishes are brilliant. They go straight from the oven to the table, look the part, and our customers constantly comment on how hot the food stays. They've really elevated our presentation."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
Since introducing the Vogue dishes, the kitchen has reported a noticeable improvement in service efficiency and food temperature consistency upon reaching the table.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the dish with warm, soapy water and dry it completely.
- Perform an initial 'seasoning' by rubbing a thin layer of cooking oil over the entire surface.
- Place it in a hot oven (around 200°C) for an hour, then let it cool.
- Your dish is now ready for its first cook!
Keeping It Going
- After use, clean with hot water and a stiff brush. Avoid harsh detergents or soap as they can strip the seasoning.
- Never, ever put it in the dishwasher – this will cause it to rust.
- Dry the dish immediately and thoroughly after washing, either by hand or on a low heat on the hob.
- Apply a very light coat of cooking oil before storing to maintain the non-stick surface and prevent rust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this rectangular cast iron casserole dish on an induction hob?
A: Yes, absolutely. It's designed to be fully compatible with all common hob types, including induction, gas, and electric.
Q: What is the best way to clean it to avoid rust?
A: The golden rule is no dishwasher. Clean it with hot water and a brush, then dry it immediately and completely. A quick wipe with oil before storing helps too.
Q: Is it non-stick straight out of the box?
A: It has an enamelled base, but the cooking surface develops its true non-stick properties as you 'season' it over time by cooking with fats and oils.
Q: Are the handles oven-proof?
A: Yes, the handles are integral to the cast iron body, so they are completely safe to go in the oven.
Q: What is the actual internal capacity?
A: This dish holds 1.8 litres, which is perfect for a generous main course or a side dish for two to three people.
Q: Can I use metal utensils on it?
A: Yes, once well-seasoned, cast iron is incredibly tough and can handle metal utensils much better than traditional non-stick pans.
Q: How heavy is the Vogue GH319 casserole dish?
A: It weighs approximately 2.53kg, giving it that sturdy, high-quality feel you expect from good cast iron.
Q: Will the red colour fade or chip?
A: The exterior has a strong, durable enamel coating designed for professional use, so it's very resistant to chipping and fading with proper care.

Explore more from VogueThe Secret to a Perfect Finish: How Seasoning Works
Ever wondered what 'non-stick when seasoned' really means for a cast iron dish? Think of it like creating your own natural, super-tough non-stick shield. Seasoning is simply the process of baking a very thin layer of oil onto the iron's surface. When heated, the oil polymerizes and bonds with the metal, creating a hard, slick coating. It’s a bit like how a well-used wok gets better over time. Each time you cook with fats and correctly clean and re-oil the dish, you're adding to this protective layer, making it more rust-resistant and brilliantly non-stick. It's old-school tech that modern non-stick pans can only dream of matching for longevity.
Who Should Buy This?
