Frying pan cast iron
General Information
The queen of pans
When it comes to pans, (almost) nothing beats iron. Because, we quote ourselves: "You have to be able to heat a frying pan to a very high temperature, and it has to pass the heat on to the food as undiminished as possible." Few materials do this better, and the following solid, cast-iron pan from Victoria in Columbia once again steps up to the plate to prove it. That, after all, is precisely its talent: supplied heat it distributes evenly over time and can maintain high temperatures consistently for extended periods. Always preheat your cast-iron pan well, then short-fried meat gets its crispy, darkbraune, aromatic crust, and vegetables take on flavor when roasted in a little oil or butter, but remain firm to the bite, crisp and fresh, just like in a wok. Tip: You can also use this pan on the grill. But be sure to wipe it dry right after each use, and do not store cooked food in it longer, so that the cast iron surface, pre-treated by burnishing, is not damaged.
Iron casting is an art
Victoria in Medellín, Colombia, has known this for three generations. It is now 101 years since grandfather Raúl learned all the skills of iron casting. He was soon able to set up his own workshop, where he initially mainly cast small handicraft items in molds and offered them for sale. His love of cooking and good food then gave the company founder the idea of producing a cast-iron grain mill. Looking back, this was the start of an international success story, as the Victoria iron foundry now sells its cookware in 32 countries around the world.
Before leaving the now fully automated production line, each piece is baked with linseed oil (burnished) or enameled in the traditional way and is therefore not only protected against corrosion, but also ready for immediate use. You can therefore use your cast-iron pans and pots straight away. Just preheat them for a few minutes and perhaps use a little more fat than usual the first few times, especially to preserve the browning and prevent sticking. And please also remember to use highly acidic foods with caution and not to use your cast iron cookware to store food. Tip: You can freshen up burnished cast iron at any time with a little grapeseed or linseed oil.
Hint:
Care instructions: You should not put cast iron in the dishwasher. To clean it, simply wipe the surface thoroughly. You can easily remove an occasionally occurring rust stain by applying a small amount of cooking oil with kitchen tissue. Please note that cast iron may leave marks on glass-ceramic surfaces.
