Pig-iron ware of the Russian production

Ware from cast iron is always in demand, for many centuries it has been used very actively. But there are many subtleties and nuances that you need to know when choosing it. It is useful to consider what kind of dishes made in Russia.

Cast iron is almost immune to mechanical stress. It cracks, it is true, but not scratched and not damaged. The material is safe in environmental and sanitary terms, serves for a long time. A weighty reason to use cast-iron cookware made in Russia is also slow warming. It provides a uniform return of heat to the entire internal volume: both at the bottom and on the walls.

because products made of cast iron are used in the preparation of pancakes, stews, pilaf and dishes that require languishing. Cooked food will exude an exquisite aroma. Long-term heat retention helps save gas, electricity or other fuels.

Pig-iron frying pans of the Russian production do the most different format. The stewpan can perform those tasks that are not available to the pancake pan and deep fryer (the opposite is also true). In the absence of experience, it is better to give preference to universal models. They, albeit slightly worse specialized, cope with any task. The diameter is also important: in pans with a cross-section of 0.5 m they prepare food for the whole family, and smaller products are needed for personal use.

Russian manufacturers produce cast-iron cookware with various types of non-stick coating. On the most advanced versions, you can fry fish or chicken without adding vegetable or butter. The wall thickness determines which particular dishes can be cooked in this dish. Thin products are designed for making sauces, larger ones are needed for grilling.

If possible, consider a few more recommendations:

• purchase oblitered and enameled ware only after thorough familiarization with the composition of the coating used;

• as deeply as possible to study information about the manufacturer;

• collect maximum reviews on independent sites.

In addition to general parameters, you need to focus on the list of the best manufacturers. Start a review is appropriate with the "Dobryni". Its utensils in their characteristics are not inferior to the products of foreign firms. However, the quality of the material sometimes causes individual complaints, and therefore it is recommended to purchase coated pans. Private flaws do not interfere with this brand of dishes to be in great demand.

A good alternative is the production of the Kama tableware factory. This company has been operating for a relatively short time, but it has already managed to establish itself on the positive side. Pig-iron frying pans of this brand are produced without coatings. The range allows you to fully meet the demand. An attractive feature is the availability of prices.

Fans of non-stick cookware should pay attention to Garderica products. It produces pans with a diameter of 0.26 m. The products of this brand are quite long, but it is very heavy. They can cook almost all the dishes.

In the ranking of quality models invariably present and development under the brand "Katyusha". Low walls facilitate pouring dough and turning pancakes. Due to the thick bottom, roasting will occur evenly. But there is a significant drawback - an overly short pen. But "Katyusha" boasts a long operation.

Attention deserve and products of the brand "Kukmar." She is familiar to domestic consumers since 1950. The production process uses a completely safe non-stick coating imported from Germany. Continuing the review of Russian models of cast iron cookware, it is worth mentioning the pan “Dobrynya DO-3302”. This is a universal product with extremely thin walls and with a bottom no thicker than 4 mm.

Such proportions were not chosen by chance - in this way the manufacturer ensured easy heating. At the disposal of users is a pair of handles of different lengths. Ferromagnetic disc is very valuable for cooking on induction stoves. The package includes an elegant glass cover. Problems can be caused by the lack of a protective coating - because of this, you have to take care of the pan more thoroughly.
