Usage:
- Be patient; before turning food, let the Maillard reaction happen—it’s so much better! Surface caramelization keeps the food's natural juices while maintaining a tender inside. It will release easily.
- Do not cook food straight from the refrigerator; let it come to room temperature.
- Heat slowly, then you can go to full power. This is particularly important if you are using powerful stovetops like induction.
- Remove handle covers for use in the oven or under the grill, it’s super simple.
- Never plunge a hot pan into cold water.
- The more you use your pan, pot, dish, etc., the more the patina develops, and the better they get!
Netherton Foundry is a family-owned business located in South Shropshire.
The former cradle of the Industrial Revolution, it was the "Silicon Valley" of the 18th century. Today, Netherton Foundry carries on the knowledge and traditions of the Shropshire iron masters of the 18th and 19th centuries, most notably Abraham Darby.
"We want to revisit the values that inspired this incredible period of creativity and energy."
Netherton Foundry has made it their mission to produce everything using materials sourced primarily from Shropshire and neighboring counties. And, for subcontracted work, to only work with the best craftsmen in their region.
Netherton Foundry's other goal is to minimize their impact as much as possible. They already know all of their materials and their suppliers.
They only use quality, durable materials.
Each creation can be restored, and actually improves with time!
Everything is recyclable, from the iron to the natural packaging used.
