What are the advantages of cooking with cast iron?
The versatility of HearthStone Cookware’s Dutch ovens, braisers, and skillets makes them a essential parts of any kitchen. But what are the benefits of cooking in one of our cast iron pots?
Our pots and pans can be used on any stovetop (gas, electric, induction…) or in the oven.
Cast iron's heat retention capacity creates even, consistent heat throughout the cookware piece. So everything cooks together and there are no cold spots or hot spots.
When a cast iron pot is heated, it stays hot for a long period of time. This aids the cooking process and the food stays hot until it is time to serve it.
The weight of the iron lids ensure a good seal. Thanks to this, the evaporating liquid returns to the food via the self-basting drip points.
The unique Helix Dripless Lid allows the chef to let a controlled amount of seam escape, offering more control over the cooking process.

Cast iron works on both high and low heat.
High heat is needed for stir-frying or recipes where the goal is to heat food quickly and at a very high temperature for a very short period of time. Iron can withstand very high temperatures, making it perfect for frying.
When it comes to slow cooking at a lower temperature, cast iron is the ideal material. Preparing soups, stews or braises requires a firm seal on the vessel and a very gentle heat. Hearthstone Cookware is excellent for these types of recipes.
Our cookware can be put in the oven, so that the surrounding heat cooks the food from all directions, not just from below. This way, the food cooks evenly and prevents burning on the bottom or food from sticking.
