NABL-LAB VERIFIED · REPORT TR/25-26/51065-2

Real cast iron. We had a lab prove it.

Cheap "cast iron" is often scrap metal with high sulphur and phosphorus. We sent ours to an NABL-accredited lab (ISO/IEC 17025). The spectro analysis came back: genuine grey cast-iron composition — carbon 3.78%, impurities well below limits. No scrap. No fillers. No coating chemicals — just bare, seasoned iron.

  • Genuine cast-iron composition
  • Sulphur & phosphorus within spec
  • Zero coating

Does cast iron really add iron to your food?

Yes — and it's measurable. Iron cookware releases small amounts of dietary iron into food as you cook, especially with acidic dishes like tomato curries and rasam. It's the original reason Indian grandmothers swore by iron kadais. Modern coated pans can't do this — bare iron can.

Still deciding? The honest answers.

Will it rust?
Only if neglected — wipe dry after washing and rub a drop of oil once a week. Every piece ships pre-seasoned, and surface rust (if it ever appears) scrubs off and re-seasons in minutes. Iron is repairable — coatings aren't.
Is it too heavy?
It's heavier than aluminium — that's the heat retention you're buying. Our 10″ kadai is about 1.8 kg; most home cooks adjust within a week.
Is maintenance hard?
No soap-soaking marathons: rinse hot, wipe dry, occasional oil rub. 30 seconds after each wash.
Does it work on induction?
Yes — cast iron is naturally induction-compatible, and gas too.

FAQ

Everything you wanted to know.

Still have a question? Our cookware specialists answer in under an hour, 7 days a week.

What's the difference between BlackForge and CrownStone?

BlackForge is our classic pre-seasoned cast iron with a traditional matte finish — built for daily, hard-working Indian cooking. CrownStone is our premium tier with a machine-polished mirror-smooth interior and stay-cool wooden handle — the heirloom-quality choice for gifting or upgrading.

Is the cookware pre-seasoned and ready to use?

Yes. Every piece arrives with multiple coats of food-grade flaxseed oil seasoning baked at high temperature. Wash with warm water, dry on flame, and you're ready to cook.

Will cast iron rust?

Only if left wet. Dry completely after washing, rub a few drops of any cooking oil onto the surface, and store in a dry place. With basic care, our cast iron will outlast every other pan in your kitchen.

Is it safe for induction, gas, and ovens?

Yes — cast iron works on every cooktop including induction, gas, halogen, ceramic, and is fully oven-safe up to 260°C.

How does cast iron benefit health?

Cooking in cast iron leaches small, beneficial amounts of dietary iron into food — particularly helpful for vegetarian diets. Zero coatings means zero PFOA, PFAS, PTFE, or non-stick chemicals near your food.

One pan can change the way you cook for a lifetime.
