From the manufacturer Why Cast Iron?Cast iron cookware distributes and retains heat evenly. Cast Iron has been used for centuries to slow-cook things like soups, stews, sauces, breads, and more. On top of that, you can broil, bake, or roast in the oven up to 500°F. Use wooden, silicon, or nylon utensils for the best care as metal can scratch.
