Cast Iron - Naturally Non-Stick & Toxin-Free

Cast iron is particularly useful for slow cooking, casseroles, braising, roasting, searing and dishes that benefit from steady, retained heat.

Cast iron is generally magnetic and can work on induction, but always check the product details. Lift the cookware rather than sliding it to help protect the hob surface.

Many cast iron pans and casseroles are designed for oven cooking, but lids, handles and knobs can affect the permitted temperature. Check the individual product page.

Follow the instructions for the particular finish. Enamelled cast iron and traditionally seasoned cast iron have different care requirements, and abrasive products should generally be avoided.

Cast iron has a thick, solid construction that helps it retain heat effectively. The additional weight is part of what makes it useful for slow, steady cooking.
