Pintinox Efficient Iron Pan With Grill 24cm Cast Iron

Efficient Iron, the king of the plate, a range of cast iron plates created by Pintinox .

Technical characteristics Pan with Grill:

The TEGAME is a round dish with a flat bottom and low walls, used for quick cooking (eggs, etc.). It can be used for ROASTING, BRAZING and STEWING.

Advantages and defects of Cast Iron.

ADVANTAGES AND ADVANTAGES: it is a very robust material that retains heat for a long time and moderates contact with the heat source. It does not fear overheating, on the contrary the heat distribution takes place on the entire surface of the container: it is also able to seal the surface of the meat, avoiding the dispersion of internal liquids.

DEFECTS: it is very heavy and can cause some food to attack.

USE: excellent for long cooking on medium / low heat such as sauces, rag, braised and roasted; for cooking in the oven and grilling meat, fish and vegetables. It can be used on all types of cooking, from gas to induction.

MAINTENANCE: although it is possible to wash it in the dishwasher, it is advisable to wash it by hand to extend its life.

Specific Gravity and Thermal Conductivity of Cast Iron.

THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY is the ability of a material to react uniformly and quickly to changes in temperature. A material with high conductivity; Thermal allows you to effectively regulate the temperature in the various cooking phases and the homogeneous distribution of heat over the entire surface of the container, avoiding the risk of burns and local overheating. Another feature not to be underestimated is energy saving: a material with good thermal conductivity allows to reduce cooking times and, therefore, to save energy.

The SPECIFIC WEIGHT allows to evaluate the weight of one material compared to another: for the same thickness and dimensions, a steel pot will weigh three times that of an aluminum one.
