The Art of Handcrafted Iranian Stone Cookware

Handmade stone cookware represents the pinnacle of authentic Iranian craftsmanship. Each piece is unique, reflecting the skill and artistry of Iranian artisans. Due to its handmade nature, no two 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 slow-heat properties preserve 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 Stone Cookware Affect Food Flavor?

Stone cookware is resistant to acidic and alkaline foods, meaning it does not alter the taste of your meals. The non-stick surface allows for healthier cooking, using far less oil than traditional cookware without sacrificing flavor.

🔶 Can Stone Cookware Be Used in the Oven?

Absolutely! Stone cookware ensures even heat distribution, cooking food uniformly rather than just from the bottom up. Its thermal properties also keep meals warm for longer after cooking. These pans and grills are safe for use on stovetops and in ovens, but the temperature should not exceed 260°C (500°F).

🔶 How to Season Your Stone Cookware

1. Coat all interior and exterior surfaces 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 thoroughly and follow standard care instructions.

Tip: A detailed seasoning guide is included with every purchase.

🔶 Care and Usage Guidelines

• Avoid frying or searing at high heat.
• Cook over low to medium flames.
• Never wash a hot stone pan immediately; allow it to cool first to prevent cracking.
• Avoid thermal shocks by not exposing the cookware to sudden temperature changes.

Recommended Cooking Temperatures:

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