Cast Iron Cookware

Cast iron is the pan for a hard steak sear, a crisp-skinned chook and cornbread straight from the oven, and it'll go on the BBQ or the campfire without a second thought.

This is our Ironclad cast iron range. Each pan is handmade and polished, and the seasoned pans carry Ironclad's Three Generation Guarantee, cast into the base. Choose from the 10cm Legacy Jr, 20cm Lil' Legacy, 28cm Legacy and 36cm Grande Legacy, the satin enamel Legacy and Grande Legacy, and The Old Dutch 4.5L Dutch oven. Add the burger press, flat press, seasoning balm and care kit.

Ironclad started in New Zealand and its pans are cast in China and New Zealand. If you're after Australian-made iron, see Solidteknics AUS-ION wrought iron in our cookware range. Free shipping over $149.

Which cast iron pan should I choose?

  • Seasoned or satin enamel? Seasoned cast iron gets better every cook; satin enamel needs no seasoning and is easy care.
  • 20cm Lil' Legacy: one or two people, sides and eggs.
  • 28cm Legacy: the everyday pan for two to four people.
  • 36cm Grande Legacy: family cooks and the BBQ.
  • The Old Dutch 4.5L: braises, bread and camp cooking.

Caring for cast iron

Wash with a little dish soap, rinse, dry with a tea towel, warm it on low heat, then wipe on a thin coat of oil or seasoning balm. If it rusts, scrub it back, dry it and re-season.
