How it's Made: Netherton Factory Spun Iron

By Garrett Wade

A Visit to Netherton Foundry

We recently partnered with the Netherton Foundry to produce a select assortment of cookware exclusively for us here at Garrett Wade.

Black spun iron, one of the best cookware materials today, is an alternative to cast iron, which has historically been used in cookware. Spun iron is created by spinning discs of iron on lathes and then forming them over molds. It is superior to cast iron in one major way: It is a lot lighter than cast iron, usually 50% of the weight. You will no doubt appreciate this when you’re moving your rustic black iron cookware from your stove or oven to a countertop or tabletop.

Take a peek behind the scenes of this amazing process...

"It is an excellent plate"
Review by JOSPEH A. on 19 Apr 2022

Full Review: "It is an excellent plate! It is an excellent plate for making crisp crust pizzas. However I have seen less expensive ones being sold at other vendors. I am not sure if I would get the same quality of baking, as I do with this plate."

"Perfect Pans"
Review by Barbara D. on 16 May 2021

Full Review: "Perfect Pans THANK-YOU!! My wife was having inconsistent success with her “old” bread pans. I ordered these for her to try, blind, based on your description of the product. Our bread has never been better. These pans make consistent quality loaves. The rounded corners make oiling and cleaning the pan easier. While pricy, they are worth every penny paid.

"Wonderful Iron Pan"
Review by EDWIN M. on 6 May 2022

Full Review: "Wonderful Iron Pan All the fine qualities of cast iron pans with considerably less weight. Easy to pick-up flared side. I'm not giving up my other cast iron pans and Dutch oven, but his takes a prominent place in the kitchen. Cooks like a dream!"
