Cast iron is a true culinary gem. Its durability, capable of withstanding the test of time, makes it a cherished family heirloom. The most remarkable aspect of this material is its ability to "season" itself through heat, fat, and consistent use, without the need for chemical coatings or toxic substances. This creates a natural Teflon-like layer that acts as a non-stick shield, allowing food to slide easily and cook with precision.
Whether cooking over low heat or at high temperatures, this superior material ensures that food retains its characteristic juiciness and flavor. Furthermore, its versatility is astonishing: it can be used on the stovetop, in the oven, and over an open flame. This allows for the preparation of a wide range of dishes, from roasts and stews to fried and grilled foods.
What began as a humble workshop in 1948 quickly blossomed into a prominent establishment, defining the essence of the Mexican foundry industry: Pagoel. This company, dedicated to creating products for the home, hardware stores, and restaurants, known for their robustness and durability, is synonymous with quality and has been a part of Mexican life 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.
