Many Indian families have turned to cast iron cookware due to its ability to give stability, a high level of durability and the natural benefits of cooking. It helps you cook tasty food at a constant temperature and adds a home-cooked flavour to every dish. Our Milton cast iron cookware is designed to cater to the common Indian cooking patterns. It offers reliability, safe use and excellent performance in your kitchen. You are able to cook healthy food devoid of chemicals and with stable heat, which adds to the flavour.
What is Cast Iron Cookware?
Cast iron cookware is characterised as being strong, heavy and long-lasting. In India, families have faith in it since it can cook the food evenly and can be utilised for several years. There are also households that pass down cast iron cookware from one generation to another due to their longevity.
Cast iron cookware has one of the most significant benefits; it has excellent heat retention. Once heated, it retains heat which is ideal for dishes like crispy fried chicken, thick gravies, and paneer tikka. It adds a golden crust as the outer layer of the food you prepare.
Earlier, cast iron had to be taken special care of as it could easily rust and had to be seasoned with oil prior to usage. Seasoning forms a natural non-stick coating that shields the surface. Most cast-iron cookware is now enamel-coated, so that you can start cooking as soon as you get it.
Factors to Consider When Buying Cast Iron Cooking Utensils
These are some of the factors to consider when selecting the best cast iron for beginners.
1. Type: Bare or Pre-seasoned
Bare cast iron is uncoated and requires seasoning to form a natural non-stick coating. It is heat-resistant and highly versatile. Pre-seasoned cast iron is provided with a layer of protection oil that facilitates cooking. Our Milton cast iron cooking utensils are mostly enamel-coated, and you do not have to prepare them prior to cooking.
2. Weight and Size
The weight of cast iron is heavier than that of other materials. Such weight helps to retain heat effectively. Select the size and weight depending on how you cook. It is important to always choose a piece that is comfortable to pick up and carry around.
3. Gauge and Thickness
The thickness of cast iron cookware influences its heating capacity and its longevity. A heavy gauge is warmer and resists fluctuation of temperature in the process of cooking. If you prefer something lighter, select a medium thickness that gives good results. The correct gauge provides a balance between comfort, durability and heat performance.
4. Compatibility with Your Stove
The majority of the cast iron cookware online is compatible with gas, induction, electric, ceramic, and oven heat sources. Also, it is important to check whether the cookware is compatible with your cooktop before purchasing it. Milton cast iron range is suitable for all heat outlets and can fit into any Indian kitchen environment.
