We have been passing on the traditional technique as well as producing newly designed cast ironware, which fits the modern lifestyle.
Cast ironware can evenly transfer heat and is excellent for various cooking. Once heated, the thick cast ironware can maintain high and stable temperature. The slight rough surface of cast ironware is due to the sand mold. The more you use the ironware; a layer of oil, which prevents the food from getting burnt, would be created on the surface.
