The Balti originates from Baltistan in Northern Pakistan. Traditionally cooked in a round pan with two handles, the Balti dish (or Karahi as it is also known) has a strong passing resemblance to the wok. The modern Balti is an aromatic curry. Handcrafted from premium cast iron, the Le Creuset Balti Dish features a flat base for use on the hob, and can also be used under the grill and in the oven for total versatility. Le Creuset cast iron cookware works efficiently at low to medium cooking temperatures and distributes heat evenly for better cooking results. It also retains heat effectively, ensuring food stays warm for longer. The cast iron 24cm Balti Dish is ideal for 4-5 people. The satin black finish is durable, easy to clean and looks beautiful when presented at the table. Suitable for all hob types (including induction). Made in France. Oven safe to 230°C. Dishwasher safe.
