Do cast iron products have to be so heavy?
There are several good reasons for Skeppshult’s cast iron products weighing slightly more than cheaper products in light metal or tin. Good quality weighs! Child safety/Safety: All vessels used on a stove are hot. Light vessels are really easy to tip over or knock over, with a substantial risk for burn injuries. Cooking qualities. An even temperature and well distributed heat are requisites for a good cooking result. Skeppshult’s products are known for these qualities. The reason being that quality is paramount. The Swedish Consumer Agency recommends that the bottom of a vessel be at least 6 mm, which of course all of Skeppshult’s products are.
