Cast iron pots
What are the advantages of cast iron pots and ovenware?
Cast iron casseroles and ovenware offer many advantages in terms of cooking, durability and versatility. They are essential kitchen tools for those who want to improve the quality of their food while benefiting from the durability, versatility and aesthetics of these cooking materials.
Excellent heat distribution: Cast iron heats evenly, ensuring that food cooks evenly, which is essential for stews and roasts. Cast iron also retains heat longer after removal from the stove or oven, keeping food warm until ready to serve.
Versatility: Cast iron pots and dishes can be used on a variety of heat sources, including gas, electric and induction stoves and ovens. Ideal for a wide range of dishes from soups to stews and roasts, gratins, breads and even desserts.
Flavour enhancement: Slow and steady cooking with cast iron allows flavours to fully develop, enriching the taste of dishes. Enamelled cast iron does not react with acidic foods such as tomatoes or wine, allowing a wide range of culinary preparations.
Easy to clean: Enamelled cast iron pans and dishes are easy to clean. The enamelled surface is non-porous, making it resistant to stains, and does not absorb odours.
Aesthetics and presentation: Available in a variety of colours and finishes, cast iron pots and bakeware are often aesthetically pleasing and can be used for serving meals directly on the table or buffet, adding a touch of style to your presentation.
High temperature resistance: Enamelled cast iron pots and pans can be used at very high temperatures and are perfect for searing, caramelising and roasting foods before slow cooking.
Healthy: Unlike some non-stick coatings, cast iron does not release potentially harmful substances when heated to high temperatures.
Eco-friendly: Their durability reduces the need for frequent replacement, helping to reduce waste and carbon footprint.
Versatile use: The ability to move from oven to table and then to fridge or freezer for leftovers reduces the need to transfer food to other containers, simplifying meal preparation and storage.
Durability and longevity: Cast iron is extremely durable and can last for decades, even when passed down from generation to generation. It resists thermal and mechanical shock well.
