A Stellar Cast pan begins deep in the heart of the Black Country at an historic British foundry. Here, skilled craftsmen have honed their expertise in iron castings for more than 130 years.

Each piece of cookware is conscientiously formed from 100% recycled cast iron. Through fire and flame, cast iron scrap, car parts and remnants of previous pans are melted down to be made into hardwearing, high-quality cookware. Reinvented to last another lifetime.

Using the time-honoured technique of casting in traditional sand moulds, each pan is meticulously formed as a single piece from molten cast iron. The handles, base and everything else that makes the shape of the pan are cast together, creating an exceptionally strong pan and avoiding the need for any other processes. The raw form retains its naturally bronzed patina and is carefully hand finished to a refined style. 

Each pure cast iron pan has its surface transformed to non-stick by double seasoning with vegetable oil. A thin layer is applied then heated to high temperatures, twice. There are no toxic chemicals involved, resulting in a natural surface that performs wonderfully over heat. The oil seals and protects the pan to prevent rust. And yet Cast performs even better with use. Every time you use the cookware, you’ll build layers of seasoning that will both improve the non-stick and add unforgettable flavour. 


Creating Cast

A Stellar Cast pan begins as recycled scrap iron, car parts and previous pan remnants.

The iron is melted down and formed into cookware using time-honoured moulding techniques.

The raw pan surface is smoothed then seasoned twice with vegetable oil.

Each piece retains its naturally bronzed patina and is carefully hand finished to a refined style.
