Characteristics and features of Kukmara cauldrons

Cooking tasty pilau, various vegetable stews, broths will become much more comfortable when using Russian Kukmara’s casantes. Made of high-quality metal, with the use of new production technologies, they are compatible with almost any type of plate, except induction. They can also be used for cooking on an open fire.

The plant was founded in the middle of the 18th century in the town of Kukmor, not far from Kazan. Initially, he was engaged in the manufacture of high-quality cookware from copper, but over time, around the middle of the XIX century, the plant was closed. During World War II, the enterprise equipped with foundry equipment started working again, and it focused on making carts and sleds, which were then sent to the front. From the middle of the 20th century, the factory expanded the scope of production and engaged in the manufacture of aluminum cookware.while continuing to produce iron products for the kitchen.

Since 1967, the company has been called the Kukmorsky Metalware Factory. Today the enterprise supplies its goods not only within the Russian Federation, but also to the countries that were part of the USSR, as well as to many European states. The range of products brand Kukmara presented a wide selection of dishes, baking dishes for bread, as well as goods for hiking.

At the factory for the manufacture of metal Kukmara produced cauldrons made of cast iron and cast aluminum. It is the casting method, not the stamping, that is most effective in the production of dishes, as it has several advantages:

• the thickness of the walls of cast dishes - about 5-6 mm, and for stamped products - no more than 2 mm, which eventually leads to their deformation;
• cast aluminum heats evenly and collects heat, which has a positive effect on cooking, and it is also resistant to high temperatures;
• the resulting dishes less susceptible to the destruction of the metal, its rusting;
• does not require complex care;
• cauldrons can be used for cooking in the oven, but only if the product does not have silicone or plastic elements that can melt during the heating process.

Like cast aluminum cauldrons, cast-iron ones are characterized by good heat conductivity and its preservation, which allows dishes to continue cooking for several minutes even after turning off the stove. This makes it possible to reduce energy costs, as well as reduce cooking time. Such a cauldron is practical both for home use and during hiking trips. Both cast iron and aluminum products can be used on various types of heating surfaces, except induction. Such dishes are impact resistant, even when dropped and high heat retains its original shape.

Used in the manufacture of dishes German high-quality non-stick coating provides cooking almost without the use of vegetable oil and fat, which makes the dishes more useful. This coating does not contain perfluorooctanoic acid, which was previously used in its production, and at high temperatures could harm human health. Now cauldrons with non-stick coating are absolutely safe for users.
