Stainless Steel Cataplana

Authentic Portuguese Cookware for Seafood & Mediterranean Dishes

Available Size: 36cm

Discover the traditional flavour of Portuguese cooking with our Stainless Steel Cataplana, a classic hinged cooking pan designed for creating aromatic seafood, fish and chicken dishes. Loved across Portugal’s Algarve region, the cataplana pan locks in moisture, prevents over-cooking and enhances flavour—perfect for clams, mussels, prawns and other delicate ingredients.

Why Choose a Stainless Steel Cataplana?

Crafted in Portugal from high-quality stainless steel, this cataplana features a modern flat base compatible with gas, electric, ceramic and induction stoves. Its advanced Impact Plus Disc ensures fast, even heat distribution for efficient, healthier cooking using minimal fats. Simply add stock, wine or aromatics, seal the pan, and allow the natural steam-cooking process to intensify flavour.

Healthy, Flavour-Rich Mediterranean Cooking

Much like a wok, the cataplana provides a lighter cooking method that preserves nutrients while keeping ingredients tender and juicy. The sealed design prevents flavour loss, making it the ideal pan for traditional Portuguese cataplana recipes and modern seafood dishes alike.
