What sets the Lodge Mini Iron Cauldron with Legs and Handle apart?

• Its robust construction . This small pot with legs and handle is made of cast iron , without any type of non-stick coating or toxic elements. This robustness allows you to use any utensil when cooking with it, even stainless steel ones.
• Its functional design. Like a cauldron or a traditional Dutch oven , this saucepan has three built-in legs that elevate it, so you can cook with it directly over the flame of the campfire, fireplace or barbecue. It is also oven-safe.
  
• Its handling . Even though they are robust pieces, their design is conceived so that they can be handled comfortably and easily. It has a metal handle that makes it easy to transport wherever you want to take it or place it.
  
• Their durability . Being made entirely of cast iron, they are pieces that last much longer than a lifetime.
• Its excellent relationship between quality and durability and its price . They are affordable pieces, with exceptional durability and unquestionable quality.
• Its rough finish . Lodge makes all of its pans in a single piece and in unique sand molds; this gives them their characteristic slightly rough finish on both the interior and exterior surfaces and makes each piece unique and unrepeatable. With use, a patina forms that will end up creating a smooth and naturally non-stick surface.
• Factory seasoning or curing . All Lodge cast iron pieces are factory seasoned or cured so that they are ready to use when you receive them at home . Curing cast iron, called polymerization, involves applying a coating of vegetable oil to the piece and heating it in the oven to a high enough temperature that the oil bonds to the iron. This process gives Lodge cast iron its classic black patina, creating a naturally nonstick cooking surface that is also a protective coating that helps prevent the cookware from rusting.
• Its excellent non-stick properties . Lodge pieces offer a natural non-stick coating, which allows you to cook almost without oil. Plus, the more you use them, the more non-stick they become.
  
• Its excellent temperature retention and uniform heat distribution . Being made of iron, it retains heat excellently for longer, and distributes it evenly. Thanks to the high temperatures that iron reaches, it allows you to seal food with its own juices, maintaining all its flavor. The result is much tastier, like the flavors of always.
  
• Lodge's 125+ years of experience in the manufacture of cast iron parts . Manufacturers since 1896, Lodge is an iconic brand not only in the USA, its country of origin and where all its cast iron products are still manufactured, in the Lodge foundries in South Pittsburgh, Tennessee.

When you want to use it, you just have to let it heat up gradually, so that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the piece, and start cooking when it is very hot. To clean it, let it cool down first; wash it with a sponge and non-abrasive detergent and lightly oil the inside surface to prevent it from rusting. For optimal preservation, it is recommended to always store it in a dry place.

NOTE: Factory seasoning gives Lodge cast iron pieces a rustic finish with some imperfections, such as a brown mark on the rim, handle or grip. Don't worry! These are small spots where the oil hasn't soaked into the iron, but your piece is safe to use. This is not a defect or rust and will disappear with regular use and care.
