The origin of this pan is in Italy. rather ancient, the first tools of similar shape and characteristics were found in Pompeii excavations.
The current shape of this pot most likely dates back to the 17th century and already in the 17th century. then it was made of hammered iron.

- Iron is iron. a very resistant material over time and its performance improves with its use; in fact, the metal acts as a heat regulator, prevents sudden changes in temperature which can alter the cooking of fats and also avoids braising. Although it does not have a real non-stick coating, satisfactory results are still obtained with the use of a few fats (oil and butter)
- a material that favors the MAILLARD REACTION, very important for obtaining appetizing and tasty foods.
This chemical reaction is a chemical reaction. the most important in the kitchen and takes its name from the famous chemist LOUIS Camille Maillard: it is a chemical process that takes place at high temperatures, usually between 140° and 180° and involving the amino acids of proteins and sugars which, subjected to high temperatures over a given period of time, give a brownish color to the surface of foods, better known by the term “caramelisation”. We can see this action when baking bread, cakes, chips… and not only that!!! we can say that this pot is perfect for cooking. also excellent for browning especially roasts, steaks, braised meats and even fish… in short, a good homemade grilled without the; use of a barbecue!!!;-)

- Another very important point for this pot is the; MAINTENANCE: when you buy an iron pot, before using it it is necessary to clean it. an initial treatment is necessary: it must be washed with hot water and a detergent to remove the anti-corrosion protection thus forming; a non-stick film that does not involve the; food sticking during cooking. Later he will have to be dried and greased with seed oil and then placed on the fire for the burn treatment. When this treatment is finished, the frying pan should not be heated. more be washed with water, but it will need to be cleaned. rub the pan with salt to remove the dirt formed during cooking and it must always remain greasy.
