The Popular Cookware Piece-Cast Iron Pots

Cast iron pots are also called cast iron casseroles, cast iron dutch ovens, cast iron cocottes and so on.

Cast iron pots are made by melting blocks of iron and steel in a factory. Then chemicals are added to the mixture to boost its carbon content. Next, the molten metal is poured into molds made of sand, water and clay powder. When the cast iron pot or pan cools, the sand mold breaks and the cookware is released. Workers grind each piece down to make it smooth. The process of cast iron cookware is: open the mould first, then create the casting, fine polishing, grinding, blasting and then spraying, finally forming.

The earliest use of cast iron cookware was during the Han Dynasty in China around 220 A.D., casting techniques were popularized in Europe in the 16th century, and since then, this versatile cookware has been a staple in households around the world. In 1707, Abraham Darby patented a sand casting process similar to how we make cast iron today. Because of Darby's contributions, there was a boom in cast iron cookware in the 18th and 19th centuries. Cast iron pots and pans are so important in everyday life. But cast iron cookware declined in the 20th century as other other materials of cookware appeared, such as aluminum.

But nowadays the cast iron pots and pans are becoming popular again, do you know why? Some people might argue that ancient cookware can't hold a candle to modern aluminum or stainless steel cookware, but cast iron cookware is making a resurgence in restaurants and homes across the country. The reasons as below:

1, Cast iron cookware is healthy. The coating of some nonstick pans will fall off when used for a long time and they are not resistant to high temperatures. But cast iron can be heated to extremely high temperatures without negative effects.

2, Cast iron cookware is extremely durable. Cast iron cookware lasts for hundreds of years, in fact, cast iron pieces can be restored, even when they’re completely rusted over. So as long as you use it properly, it should last much longer than other cookware.

3, Cast iron is suitable for a variety of heat sources. Cast iron pots can be used on any type of cooktop (gas, electric or induction). It can also be used over an open flame like a campfire.

Cast iron cookware has a lot of advantages that you will feel when you use it, that’s why people like it so much.
