Searing Secrets and Slow-Cooked Delights: A Cast Iron for Every Dish

Forget flimsy pans of poor quality and thin metal that cannot hold their heat. Minimax’s collection of cast iron cookware sets has superior heat retention; whether one is searing steak in a cast iron skillet or slow braising a stew in a versatile cast iron stock pot, consistent cooking temperatures will be achieved. Our cast iron cookware caters to all cooking styles and dishes, from the professional chef down to the home cook whipping up tonight's dinner.

Here is the flavour profile that you can achieve using cast iron:

Grilled Steak
The perfectly browned steak is crusty on the exterior and exudes juicy tenderness from the inside. A well-seasoned cast-iron skillet provides this restaurant-quality sear, as its excellent heat-retaining properties seal in flavours and create a wonderful caramelised crust.

Golden Brown Pancakes
Tired of hot spots and burnt pancakes? Cast iron distributes heat evenly, eliminating hot spots and allowing for perfectly fluffy pancakes every time.

Slow-Cooked Wonder
From rich aromatic curries to tender, fall-apart pulled pork, cast iron pots do slow cooking like no other. The thick walls retain heat beautifully, allowing flavours to develop leisurely and deeply for an unforgettable taste sensation.

Multitasking Vegetables
Green beans could be sautéed, root vegetables roasted with vibrant colours, or sweet onions caramelised - the list goes on with cast iron. Besides being excellent for cooking meat, its adaptability extends just right for healthy and delicious vegetarian dishes.

Generations of deliciousness
With proper care, cast iron cookware and bakeware can last a lifetime. See your cast iron skillet as becoming the pan that cooks the greatest of family favourites over the years.

As durable as they get
Whether in very high temperatures or heavy usage, cast iron is resistant. Unlike those frail, non-stick pans that may wear out over time, this type of cookware is an investment for your kitchen.

FAQs

How do I season cast iron cookware?

To season, clean your cookware thoroughly, then apply a thin layer of vegetable oil or shortening to the surface. Bake it upside down in the oven at a high temperature (around 450°F or 230°C) for about an hour. This creates a non-stick surface and prevents rust.

Can I use soap on cast iron cookware?

While it is best to avoid soap, a small amount is okay for deep cleaning. Just remember to re-season your cookware afterwards to maintain its protective layer.

Is cast iron cookware suitable for all cooking surfaces?

Yes, cast iron can be used on gas, electric, and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. However, it is always best to check whether your cookware is compatible with your specific cooktop, especially with induction.

Tips

• Avoid sudden temperature changes: Never add cold food to a hot pan, as it can cause the cast iron to crack or warp.

• Store it properly: Keep your cast iron cookware dry and lightly oiled to prevent rust. Placing a paper towel between stacked pieces can help absorb moisture.

• Use it regularly: The more you cook with your cast iron, the better the seasoning becomes. Regular use helps maintain its non-stick properties.
