Cast iron is a strong and heavy metal known for its high thermal conductivity and ability to retain heat for long periods. One of its greatest advantages is that it ensures even cooking, resulting in perfectly prepared foods.
It is widely used in professional and home kitchens for various culinary techniques – from frying and baking to simmering. These characteristics make it ideal for cooking meats, fish, and vegetables, as well as baking bread.
