Cast Iron Pot 【Pot-Shaped Pot - Gen】20CM (IH Compatible)

https://oigen.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Malutto1.png **Feature 1: World's First Pot-Shaped Pot** The difficulty in its handmade production lies in the inability to cast it directly as a single piece. It requires splitting into two parts, which are then ingeniously joined using a special technique. The "round pot" shape evokes the aesthetic of handcrafted cast iron teapots, which can cost between NT$30,000 and NT$100,000. Its unique, beautiful curves, paired with a thick, stable lid, help to seal in food, enabling more diverse cooking methods. Its elegant and captivating lines are sure to satisfy those who appreciate beauty. https://oigen.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/product_malutto_01.jpg **▍Feature 2: One Pot, Multiple Uses** Effortlessly handles everything from vegetables to meat. Good cookware allows you to cook like a chef with just a few simple steps: chop ingredients, add oil to the pot, place ingredients inside, season lightly, cover with the lid, wait for the food to cook, and you're done! It's perfect for everyday family use, cooking delicious meals for gatherings with friends, professional chef-level cooking, and even camping outdoors. One pot replaces many, making cooking efficient and convenient. https://oigen.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/product_malutto_02.jpg **▍Feature 3: Beyond Appearance, Astonishing Cooking Performance** The "round pot" design offers an additional "heat convection" characteristic, allowing circulating steam to achieve an oven-like baking effect. It not only stabilizes the pot's internal temperature but also prevents the food surface from drying out, locking in the original flavors. It's suitable for various cooking techniques, performing exceptionally well in braising, stewing, and roasting, such as for dishes like Three Cup Chicken, stewed meats, and roasted vegetables. https://oigen.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/product_malutto_03.jpg **▍Feature 4: Suitable for Cooking and Serving** It's an innovation not just in production and cooking, but also in its use.

Unlike stainless steel or aluminum pots, it avoids surface hot and cold spots or drastic temperature fluctuations. The uncoated surface of bare-cast pots provides 2.5 times more radiant heat, allowing for stable heating of all parts of the food, bringing out its best flavor without undercooking the inside. https://oigen.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/product_iron-skill_01.jpg **▍Characteristic 2: No Heat Source Restrictions, Versatile Application** It can be stably used on IH stoves, gas stoves, induction cooktops, and in ovens. For those who love barbecuing or camping, heating with fire and charcoal is also perfectly fine! Don't worry about unstable open flames; due to the properties of cast iron, it offers uniform heating, high heat retention, stable temperature control, and excellent radiant heat. https://oigen.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/product_iron-skill_02.jpg **▍Characteristic 3: Say Goodbye to Sticking! Achieves Non-Stick Effect with Simple Seasoning** The pores created by burning carbon atoms, after a simple seasoning process, can more effectively absorb oil, forming a natural protective layer that achieves a non-stick effect. https://oigen.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/product_iron-skill_03-01.jpg https://oigen.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/product_iron-skill_03-02.jpg **▍Characteristic 4: Food Stays Warm! Powerful Heat Retention Effect** Cast iron pots are thick, offering excellent heat storage and slow heat dissipation, resulting in superior heat retention compared to other materials. If you enjoy hot food, the powerful heat retention of cast iron pots is your best choice! https://oigen.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/product_iron-skill_04.jpg **▍Characteristic 5: No Detergents Needed! Say "Bye-Bye" to Chemical Hazards** Cast iron pots do not require detergents for cleaning, a benefit that bare-cast pots inherit. Simply use water and a palm brush to remove debris. The remaining oil will serve as a crucial element for future non-stick performance, enhancing the non-stick capabilities of bare-cast pots. https://oigen.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/product_iron-skill_05.jpg **You Might Be Unknowingly Consuming Harmful Substances!** "You are what you eat" perfectly illustrates this point, emphasizing the importance of the food we consume. Taiwanese people value healthy eating, but do you truly understand the cookware with fancy features and designs? **Over a Decade of Development, Dedicated to Crafting a Superior Pot** After developing the bare-casting technique in 2003, OIGEN artisans began planning to create cookware more suitable for people's cooking needs. Through in-depth interviews with professional chefs in Japan, Europe, the United States, and Asia, they spent decades experimenting, failing, and trying again, meticulously crafting the "Gen" and "Kaeshi" series. https://oigen.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/product_skill_01.jpg **What is Bare-Casting Technique?** To address issues with coatings, this technique revives casting methods from 300 years ago. After over a decade of research and refinement, it ingeniously blends traditional and modern techniques to create the patented "bare-casting technique." https://oigen.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/product_skill_02.jpg Utilizing precisely calculated high-temperature firing, the carbon on the surface is completely burned off, creating an oxide film layer on the raw cast iron surface for rust prevention. Seasoning with vegetable oil before use forms a protective film, achieving a non-stick effect. **MADE IN JAPAN! Japanese Craftsmanship Spirit** From melting, molding, cooling, shaping, firing, grinding, to quality control, each step embodies the decade-plus of skill and experience of every artisan. No compromises are made during the production process to ensure that defective products are not delivered to consumers. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51784657634_ab5b574e8d_o.gif **The Limited Production of Artisan Handmade Items is a Feature of "Gen" and "Kaeshi"** Due to the limitations of mass production, only about sixty units can be produced monthly. By carefully selecting sand and iron, and through the hands of craftspeople specializing in this technique, "Gen" and "Kaeshi" are made. Despite understanding the drawbacks, they remain committed to not compromising on coatings for the sake of people's health and environmental sustainability. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51784657724_29affe6851_o.gif **Pure, Original Flavors with Natural Ingredients Create Natural Sweetness, Enhancing Life's Delights** The purity of "Gen" and "Kaeshi" eliminates health hazards and brings out the natural flavors of ingredients, reducing the need for seasonings. Eating is not just about obtaining nutrients for survival; it's also about enriching our lives. Food is the only daily activity that engages all five senses: hearing, sight, smell, touch, and taste. Studies show that exposure to a variety of rich flavors and textures in early childhood stimulates the brain regions associated with taste, significantly impacting future taste sensitivity. Providing children with a time to share delicious food each day is not only a treasure from parents but also the best gift for themselves. OIGEN Bare-Cast Iron Pots "Gen" and "Kaeshi" promise to provide a healthier, more delicious, and brighter tomorrow for our precious children, families, and ourselves. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51784028991_1134fd3a6b_b.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmskk4fv7o0 ****************************************************************************************** Dimensions: L21.1cm x W38.4cm x H10.5cm Weight: 3.72Kg Capacity: 1.6L Material: Cast Iron Heat Source: Gas Stove | Oven | Electric Ceramic Stove | Induction Cooktop (100v) | IH Stove (200v) Origin: Japan ****************************************************************************************** **About OIGEN and the Gen Foundry** From design, manufacturing, quality control, to shipping, everything is completed at the OIGEN and Gen Foundry's casting facility in the Mizusawa Esashi region of Iwate Prefecture, Northeast Japan.
