Iron cookware thrives at high temperatures, works across all cooking surfaces, and is made from a pure, recyclable material that rewards long-term use.Why choose ebonised oak handle covers?Ebonised wood offers a naturally durable, heat resistant and tactile grip without relying on synthetic materials. This traditional process uses black tea and iron acetate to react with the oaks natural tannins, creating a deep black colour that runs through the wood rather than sitting on the surface. Finished with hard wax oil, the handles age gracefully and align with time-honoured craft methods over modern coatings.Whats special about spun black iron pans?Spun black iron heats quickly and evenly, giving excellent control and searing performance. As the seasoned surface builds with use, the pan improves over time rather than wearing out. Each pan is hand spun, meaning no two are exactly the same, and following simple heat care guidelines helps maintain flatness and longevity. Used and cared for correctly, this is cookware designed to last a lifetime.A beautifully balanced everyday pan that blends traditional materials, natural finishes and professional cooking performance.
