The Art of Handcrafted Iranian Stone Cookware

Handmade stone cookware is a true symbol of authentic Iranian craftsmanship. Each piece is unique, reflecting the skill and artistry of Iranian artisans. Due to its handmade nature, no two stone pans or grills are exactly alike, and slight variations in veining, size, and shape may occur.

🔶 What Are Stone Pans and Grills Made Of?

Stone pans and grills from the EliPersia collection are crafted entirely from natural stone and contain no chemical coatings, ensuring that no harmful substances enter your food. Their natural heat retention preserves the cellular structure of ingredients, enhancing the true flavor of your meals. The naturally non-stick surface allows cooking with minimal oil—or even completely oil-free.

🔶 Does Cooking in Stone Cookware Affect Flavor?

Stone cookware is resistant to acidic and alkaline foods, meaning your meals retain their natural taste without being affected by the cookware itself. The non-stick properties also allow you to reduce oil usage dramatically, making your meals healthier without compromising flavor.

🔶 Can Stone Pans and Grills Be Used in the Oven?

Yes! Stone cookware distributes heat evenly, cooking food uniformly rather than from the bottom up. Its thermal properties keep food warm for longer after cooking. Stone pans and grills can be used both on stovetops and in ovens—just ensure the temperature does not exceed 260°C (500°F).

🔶 How to Season Your Stone Cookware

1. Coat the entire inside and outside of your stone cookware with ghee or olive oil.
2. Place the cookware in a warm area for three days to allow full absorption—near a heater or under summer sunlight works well.
3. After three days, wash the cookware thoroughly and follow standard care instructions.

Tip: A detailed brochure and seasoning guide are included with every purchase.

🔶 Care and Usage Tips for Stone Cookware

• Avoid frying or searing at high heat.
• Always cook on low to medium flame.
• Never wash a hot stone pan immediately—let it cool first to prevent cracking.
• Avoid thermal shocks by not exposing the cookware to sudden temperature changes.

Recommended Cooking Temperatures:

1. Below 90°C: Suitable for boiling water only; not for cooking meals.
2. 90–150°C: Good for cooking, but insufficient for keeping food warm.
3. 150–260°C: Optimal for cooking and maintaining heat for extended periods.
4. Above 260°C: Too hot; cookware may crack.
