Korkmaz Ornella A1843 9.5-Inch 2.5 Liter Nonstick Low Casserole with Glass Lid, Granite Black
At a Glance
- What it is: A 24 cm (9.5 in) shallow braiser / low casserole - 2.5 litres, with a glass lid
- Key spec: Forged aluminium with Korkmaz's 5-layer Volcanite non-stick, inside and out
- The differentiator: The Solar Base is INDUCTION READY - it works on gas, electric, ceramic, halogen and induction alike
- Free of: PFOA, cadmium and lead
- Warranty: 2-year limited - twice what most pans in this class carry
- ⚠ Before you buy: It is a LOW casserole - 9.5 inches wide but only about 2.5 inches deep. It is a braiser, not a stockpot.
Korkmaz's Ornella A1843 is the pan Turkish kitchens actually reach for: wide, shallow and heavy for its size, with a glass lid. Wide means everything browns instead of steaming. Shallow means liquid reduces instead of pooling. The five-layer Volcanite coating is granite-flecked, hard-wearing and free of PFOA, cadmium and lead, and the Solar Base underneath is encapsulated so the pan works on induction - which most aluminium pans do not. Korkmaz backs it for two years.
Key Features
- Induction ready: The encapsulated Solar Base works on induction, gas, electric, ceramic and halogen. Very few aluminium pans can say this
- 5-layer Volcanite non-stick: Granite-flecked, hard-wearing, applied inside AND outside - so the exterior cleans as easily as the interior
- Free of PFOA, cadmium and lead: Stated by Korkmaz
- Wide and shallow: 24 cm across and about 6.5 cm deep - the geometry that browns meat and reduces sauce properly
- Glass lid: Watch the braise without lifting the lid
- Forged aluminium: Heavier and more stable than pressed aluminium, and it heats fast and evenly
- 2-year limited warranty: Double the usual
Before You Buy
The honest limits, so this arrives as the product you pictured.
- It is a LOW casserole, not a deep pot: 2.5 litres in a 9.5-inch pan means roughly 2.5 inches of depth. It is a braiser. If you want a stockpot, buy a taller pan
- Stovetop use only. Do not put this pan or its glass lid in the oven
- Use wood, silicone or nylon utensils: The Volcanite coating is scratch-resistant, not metal-proof
- The handles get hot: They are the pan's own handles. Use a cloth

Frequently Asked Questions▼
Does it work on induction?
Yes. The encapsulated Solar Base is what makes an aluminium pan induction ready, and it works equally well on gas, electric, ceramic and halogen.
How deep is it?
About 2.5 inches - it is a low casserole, or a braiser. 9.5 inches across and shallow. That geometry is what browns meat properly and reduces a sauce fast.
Can I put it in the oven?
No. This is a stovetop pan. Keep the pan and the glass lid out of the oven.
Can I use metal utensils?
No. Use wood, silicone or nylon. The Volcanite coating is hard-wearing and scratch-resistant, but it is not metal-proof.
What is the warranty?
Two years, limited - which is double what most pans at this price carry.
Care & Use▼
- Hand wash or dishwasher - hand washing extends the coating's life.
- Use wood, silicone or nylon utensils only.
- Never preheat the empty pan on high heat.
- Stovetop use. Do not put the pan or the glass lid in the oven.
- Let the pan cool before washing to protect the coating and the base.
Why Choose Korkmaz?▼
Korkmaz has been making cookware in Turkey since 1927 and is one of the country's best-known housewares names. Turkish cookware culture leans towards heavy forged bodies, encapsulated bases and long warranties, and Korkmaz is a good example of it: its Solar Base makes aluminium pans work on induction, its Volcanite coating is applied inside and out, and it backs the pan for two years rather than the usual one.
