What is Pre-seasoned Cast Iron?

Pre-season is the process of coating with an oil as a layer on the cookware surface. Then the cookware needs to be heated at high temperature to convert the oil into a hard and smooth coating.

This process helps to make the cookware naturally non-stick and also helps to prevent rusting.

As it is pre-seasoned with edible vegetable oil, it helps improve the taste of the food by adding a distinct flavor into the dishes.

Is Cast Iron Better than Stainless Steel?

Cast Iron is better than stainless steel in many ways. Cast iron is known for its even heat distribution and heat retention. It results in saving gas.

This Cast iron cookware can be used even in Induction, OTG whereas stainless steel utensils can’t be used.

Cast iron will last for generations, but stainless steel won’t be.

Cast iron is naturally non-stick, which reduces sticking dishes in the cookware surface. But in stainless steel, there are no such properties.

Our In Hand Experience

While testing it, initially we checked the weight using a weighing scale as we felt little heavier while carrying it.

The Fry pan weighs about 2.3 Kgs, kadai weighs about 2.7 Kgs, tawa weighs about 1.9 Kgs and tadka pan weighs about 0.45 Kgs.

Then we seasoned each and every cookware before starting to use it. While drying it, if there is still an iron stain we need to season it again otherwise we can start to use it.

Check out our blogs, as we individually reviewed and published articles about cast iron tawa, cast iron kadai, cast iron fry pan and cast iron tadka pan.

We made a huge mistake as we were unaware initially, that we are not supposed to soak it in water like other cookware. Because soaking the cast iron in water causes the cookware to rust.

So we need to do proper seasoning after each use to prevent rusting and to assure the lifespan.
