English term or phrase: casserole
What is the most common translation for "casserole - a deep frying pan or dish with a cover"? Is it "ildfast fad" or "ildfast gryde" or maybe smth else?

stegeso
Explanation:
- perhaps. I would love to see your casserole. I confess that I only knew the word as a term for a kind of stew. So I was curious and looked it up in Gyldendal's big red dictionary from English to Danish. Its first suggestion was ildfast fad, as also suggested by other answerers. I was not quite comfortable with that because to me a "fad", even a deep one, is rather flat and does not often have a lid, so I looked up "ildfast fad" from Dansh to English and found: "fireproof dish, ovenproof dish; (dybt, med ører) casserole". Well, it said nothing about a lid. But the second suggestion when I looked up casserole was "stegeso". A stegeso always has a lid, which is very essential for its function. So - without having seen the thing you want to describe - I would go for stegeso. Please note: a stegeso is made of clay and is also called a claybaker in English, and Gyldendal also has "earthenware casserole". - To me, an ildfast fad is made of either glass or porcelain.

I hope this helps more than it confuses!

I rather suspected it! The thing on your picture is a "kasserolle (med låg)"! A pot with one long handle is a "kasserolle" in Danish. It does not necessarily have a lid.

agree  Jeanette Brammer: Wikipedia says: a casserole, from the French for "sauce pan,"[1] is a large, deep pot or dish used both in the oven and as a serving dish.

kasserolle


Explanation:
- having seen your picture, which shows of a pot with one long handle. The casserole in the picture has a lid, which a kasserolle does not necessarily have, som I recommend that you say "kasserolle med låg".
