We recently partnered with the Netherton Foundry in the UK 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...
