Unknown
DTC brand from Australia with zero traditional US marketing; outperforms premium cast iron brands in weight-to-performance ratio. Unlike traditional cast iron which is brittle and can crack, these are wrought from a single sheet of iron. There are no rivets to collect grime or fail over time. Enthusiasts prize them for their 'multi-century' warranty and exceptional heat distribution. They are virtually unknown in US big-box retail but have a cult following in professional chef circles for their 'buy it for life' construction.
