Product Overview
GS-01644-CA is a tri-ply stainless steel casserole built around a rounded belly-shape body, a tempered glass lid, and two stainless steel side handles. For importers, distributors, supermarket cookware buyers, and private label brands, the curved profile offers an alternative to the straight-wall casserole commonly used in covered-pot ranges. Six listed sizes allow the model to be developed as a single SKU or as part of a coordinated assortment. Compare related tri-ply casserole pots for other body, lid, and handle configurations.
Product Highlights
- The rounded body is primarily a design distinction, giving the pot a softer silhouette than a straight-wall casserole. Capacity and heating performance should be checked against the confirmed specification rather than assumed from the shape.
- The tempered glass lid includes a stainless steel rim, steam vent, and arched metal handle, allowing the contents to remain visible during cooking.
- Two polished stainless steel side handles match the mirror-finished body and lid hardware, creating a consistent appearance across the complete pot.
- The range runs from 16 x 8.5 cm to 26 x 13.5 cm, giving buyers a practical spread of compact, mid-range, and larger covered-pot options.
Size Options and Assortment Planning
The dimensions below are verified, but capacity figures are not yet available. To avoid placing estimated volumes on a retail label, catalog, or carton, confirm both filled-to-rim and usable capacity from the final specification sheet or approved sample before packaging artwork is released.
- 16 x 8.5 cm: A compact option for reheating, side dishes, and smaller portions of soup. It can sit at the entry point of a retail line or a starter covered-pot assortment.
- 18 x 9.5 cm: Suitable for everyday soup, simmering, and smaller household cooking. This size fits regional wholesale catalogs and general retail cookware ranges.
- 20 x 10.5 cm: A practical mid-range casserole for general covered-pot cooking, soup, and stew. Private label programs can use it as a core size between the compact and family-oriented options.
- 22 x 11.5 cm: Positioned for family cooking, simmering, and moderate batch preparation. It suits supermarket assortments and distributors building a stepped size range.
- 24 x 12.5 cm: Intended for larger-format soup, stew, and covered-pot cooking. It gives wholesale and private label ranges a larger household option without moving outside the same design family.
- 26 x 13.5 cm: The largest listed size for GS-01644-CA. Buyers can consider it for broader family cookware ranges or selected HoReCa catalogs after confirming measured capacity and handling requirements.
Material and Performance
Goldensea’s standard specification for this model is a 2.3 mm tri-ply body with an SS304 cooking surface, an aluminum core, and an SS430 magnetic exterior. Depending on the target market, price point, and required product feel, a finished body thickness from 2.0 to 2.5 mm can be discussed. During sampling, record the agreed layer combination, finished thickness, base flatness, and induction contact in the technical specification, RFQ, and approved sample. Product photography can confirm the shape and visible finish, but it cannot verify the internal material stack or finished thickness.
Customization Options
- For lid and handle development, review the available custom lid and handle options. Buyers can compare tempered glass and stainless steel lids, as well as alternative side-handle profiles.
- Diameter, depth, body thickness within the 2.0-2.5 mm range, side-handle profile, and mirror or satin finish can be adjusted to suit the planned assortment.
- Branding and packing details can include bottom marking, laser engraving, a retail color box, barcode label, protective inserts, and a specified master carton.
- Before sampling, share the destination market, target price range, expected order volume, and document requirements so the product and packaging specifications can be matched to the project.
Sample Approval Points for the Belly-Shape Casserole
The approved sample should serve as the working benchmark for bulk production, not simply as a sales sample. Add the checks below to the project inspection plan and use them alongside this bulk order cookware quality checklist.
- Place the glass lid on the pot and check that it sits evenly against the rounded rim without rocking or leaving an uneven gap.
- Inspect the steam-vent position, stainless steel rim, exposed glass edge, and top-handle alignment for consistent finishing.
- Compare both side handles for direction, height, attachment security, and surface consistency; the left and right sides should match the approved sample.
- Check rim roundness, edge smoothness, exterior polish, and body symmetry from the front, side, and top views.
- Confirm base flatness and the agreed induction contact on the approved sample, especially when the body thickness or size is changed.
- Before production approval, compare the diameter, depth, body thickness, logo position, packaging inserts, and carton specification with the purchase order.
FAQ
How is GS-01644-CA different from a straight-wall casserole?
GS-01644-CA has a rounded belly-shape profile rather than a straight vertical wall. The difference is mainly visual and gives buyers another silhouette for a covered-pot range. Capacity, heating response, and usable volume still depend on the confirmed dimensions and material specification, so they should be checked separately.
Which sizes are available, and what are their capacities?
The listed sizes are 16 x 8.5 cm, 18 x 9.5 cm, 20 x 10.5 cm, 22 x 11.5 cm, 24 x 12.5 cm, and 26 x 13.5 cm. Verified capacities have not been supplied. Because capacity can vary with the final body geometry and measuring method, buyers should confirm both filled-to-rim and usable capacity on the specification sheet or approved sample rather than relying on an estimate.
What should buyers check when approving a sample?
Start with lid fit on the rounded rim, the steam vent, glass-edge finishing, and the alignment and security of both side handles. Then check rim roundness, base flatness, body symmetry, polish consistency, finished thickness, and measured dimensions. The approved sample should also carry the agreed logo position and be reviewed with the proposed packaging insert and carton.
Can the lid, handles, finish, logo, and packaging be customized?
Yes. For OEM/ODM orders, Goldensea can discuss glass or stainless steel lids, alternative side-handle profiles, mirror or satin finishes, bottom marking or laser engraving, and retail or export packaging. Final options depend on the agreed specification, tooling, quantity, target price, and sample approval.
