Cast iron is an alloy of iron and carbon just like steel. Steel generally has a carbon content of less than 2% whereas cast iron generally has 3% or more carbon. To make cast iron iron alloy is heated to over 1200°C molten metal is poured into molds and cooled. The molds are broken and the cast iron emerges and goes through various processes to prepare it for your kitchen. Cast iron has been used in kitchens in India and other parts of Asia for over two thousand years and has spread to other parts of the world because of its wonderful cooking properties and health benefits. ¢ Cast iron retains heat better than most other cookware.

Foods that need higher temperatures will brown better cook faster and crisper and cook more evenly inside and out. ¢ Cast iron gets better with use.
