LAVA – cast iron cookware for restaurants (3)

LAVA cast iron cookware for professional kitchens

Cast iron pots, frying pans and baking dishes are well suited to the needs of kitchens preparing meat, vegetables, stews, one-pot meals and dishes requiring a stable temperature. The material retains heat for a long time, which helps to maintain the temperature of the food even after cooking is complete.

Cast iron pots for stewing and baking

Cast iron pots and roasting tins are ideal for slow stewing and preparing dishes that require even heating over a prolonged period. They can be used for stews, meats, vegetables, sauces and other one-pot dishes.

LAVA cast iron frying pans

Cast iron frying pans are well suited to searing meat, vegetables and other ingredients that require a very hot surface. The high heat capacity of cast iron helps to minimise a sudden drop in temperature once the food is placed in the pan.

Mini cast iron serving dishes

Small pots and casseroles can be used to prepare and serve individual portions directly. This method of serving works well for bakes, starters, side dishes, one-pot meals or hot desserts.

From the kitchen straight to the table

One of the advantages of cast iron cookware is the ability to combine food preparation with its presentation. Selected pieces can remain part of the serving set, which reduces the need to transfer the dish and emphasises its rustic or modern character.

Cast iron and maintaining food temperature

Cast iron heats up more slowly than some other materials, but it stores heat very well and releases it gradually. This property is particularly useful for stewing, baking and serving dishes that need to stay hot for longer.

How to choose a LAVA cast iron cookware item?

When choosing, it is worth paying attention to:

• the type of dishes you prepare,
• the diameter and capacity of the cookware,
• the shape – a pot, frying pan or casserole,
• whether it can be used in an oven or on a particular heat source,
• the type of surface and how to care for it,
• whether the cookware can be used for direct service.

LAVA for restaurants, hotels and catering

Cast iron cookware is ideal for both back-of-house kitchen use and open-plan restaurant service. It can be used to prepare larger dishes as well as individual portions, particularly where high temperatures, even heating and an impressive presentation are important.
