Cast iron is undoubtedly a true gem of gastronomy. Its exceptional durability makes it a family heirloom, capable of withstanding the test of time and passing on its essence through generations. The most remarkable feature of this noble material is its unique ability to season, without the need for chemical coatings or toxic substances. Through heat, grease, and time, a natural Teflon layer known as a patina is created, a powerful shield that provides a non-stick surface, allowing food to slide easily and cook with precision.
Cast iron utensils not only stand out for their robustness but also for their ability to retain and distribute heat evenly. Whether cooking at low or high temperatures, this master material ensures that food retains its juiciness and distinctive flavor. Moreover, its versatility is astonishing: it can be used on the stove, in the oven, or directly over the fire, allowing for a wide range of dishes to be prepared, from grilling to stewing, frying, and griddling. Cast iron becomes an invaluable ally in the kitchen, providing safety and naturalness in every preparation.
What started as a humble workshop in 1948 quickly flourished into a prominent establishment, defining the essence of the Mexican casting industry: Pagoel. This company dedicated to creating household, hardware, and restaurant products, known for their robustness and durability, are synonymous with quality and have been present in the lives of Mexicans for decades.

Care for Cast / Raw Iron
Care for Cast / Raw Iron
The seasoning process is what ensures the utensil's longevity and guarantees the quality of the food prepared in it. With frequent use and proper care, the surface will become smoother, and the utensil's color will become increasingly darker and shinier. If stains or rust appear, the seasoning process must be repeated. It is recommended to perform this seasoning process once a year.
FIRST USE
Before using your new cast iron cookware for the first time, wash it inside and out with hot, soapy water using a sponge or brush. Small light and dark spots will appear on the surface; a uniform result is not necessary.
Dry it over low heat on the stovetop until all moisture evaporates. Let it cool, then apply a generous layer of shortening with a paper towel, ensuring it evenly covers the entire interior and exterior surface. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cookware in the oven for 3 hours. Use a layer of aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven to prevent splattering. Let it cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Wipe the surface clean with a paper towel. Apply another thin, even layer of shortening. For its first use, cook a high-fat food such as bacon or fried chicken.
DAILY CARE
Wash only with hot water and a soft sponge. Avoid using soap. Any food residue that may remain on the surface can be dissolved by placing the utensil over a flame on the stove with a little water; repeat until the residue is satisfactorily removed. Never cool using direct water, as this can cause permanent damage or crack the surface. Dry any remaining moisture over low heat on the stove to prevent rust from forming. Never leave the surface exposed to the air. Before storing, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the surface using a paper towel.
