The Premium Cast Iron Pot 

So much more than a cast iron pot: you also get a lid that is a pan, a grill, and an oven too. Everything is compatible with everything else, it’s a one-of-a-kind pan system for your kitchen.

The Revolutionary 4 In 1 Pot system  

Yes, you heard it right! The Food Lover offers 3 DISTINCTIVE ITEMS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE! A pot, a grill and a pan – all in one simple-to-use system. You can even combine them together to create a ‘Dutch Skillet Oven’. What’s not to love?

Naturally Non-Stick

Unlike most cookware, The Food Lover doesn’t have a painted non-stick layer. Instead, it’s naturally non-stick, with a top-level of polishing and vegetable pre-seasoning (soy-bean oil).

Four Ways To Perfect Cooking

The Food Lover is a revolutionary cooking system: with one pan you get 4 different ways to cook. It’s great for cooking meat, pizza and more. Whether you’re baking, boiling, roasting or frying – The Food Lover is the only pot you need.

Pot + Pan Lid Or Pan Grid = 1 Dutch Oven   

A lid, a grill and a pan – all in one simple-to-use system! Use the pan as a pan, a grill or a lid! Combine with the pot to create a unique Dutch “skillet” Oven!

How It Works

No More Lids  

 At The Food Lover we decided to ditch the lid because you hardly ever use them and they just get in the way. We don’t need excess stuff in our kitchen, and neither do you! Instead, it comes with an extra pan included! You can use this high-quality pan to cook amazing dishes, and also use it as a lid for The Food Lover pot, if you need to. This multi-purpose pan fits snugly on top of the pot, turning it into a perfect stove-top oven. So no matter what, you’re covered, literally!

The Classic Cast Iron Pot With A Innovative Twist 

So much more than a cast iron pot: you also get a lid that is a pan, a grill, and an oven too. Everything is compatible with everything else, it’s a one-of-a-kind pan system for your kitchen.

Ultimate Heat Retention For Perfect Dishes 

We created The Food Lover from cast iron – the most effective material in the world for heat retention and distribution. Cast iron has been used in the kitchen for centuries, because it’s the healthiest, most versatile and durable material around.

The Food Lover’s surfaces are smooth, non-porous and indestructible, higher in quality than anything else on the market. And with its stunning, timeless look, you’ll be reaching for The Food Lover for years to come. 

So Versatile – Creating The Perfect Dish Every Time  

With The Food Lover you can cook literally every kind of food to perfection. 

What’s more, it’s suited to all kinds of cooking: ​you can fry, boil, stew, bake, roast and steam too! The Food Lover redefines what you can do in the kitchen.

Once you try it, you won’t want to cook with anything else.

It’s Never Been Easier To Cook Like A Pro  

The Food Lover reimagines the traditional cast iron cooking pot, especially in design and weight. You won’t believe how good it looks.

We paid special attention to the pot’s weight distribution. After a detailed study and extensive testing on the shape and the size of the handles, we created a well-balanced product, easy to move between burners. The handles are large, ergonomic, and so convenient to use.

We also calibrated the thickness to guarantee the optimal heat distribution with the right weight, as well as being naturally non-stick.

The Cast Iron Pot With Wow Factor Looks  

We also paid attention to our pot’s aesthetics. The stunning double color is a design choice, but it’s also functional. It’s what sets us apart from other cookware on the market.

Other pots, even some that cost 4 times the price of The Food Lover, turn yellow after repeated use. Not this pot – its colors will never deteriorate.

Your New Best Friend In The Kitchen  

Now, you don’t need 100 pots with their useless lids cluttering up your kitchen. You only need The Food Lover: one pot with a multitude of uses. It’s an easy way to cook like a professional, at a price you can afford.

Compatibility 

The Food Lover fits every cooking surface: gas, induction, glass-ceramic. It fits perfectly in the oven. Try it on the campfire too!

Design Process  

Italy is like nowhere else in the world when it comes to food. In Italy, food is an art and a passion. Growing up in Italy, our grandmothers would cook us delicious meals which we have never forgotten. Those memories are fixed in our minds. However, there is always room for something new on which we can create more memories.

Around two years ago, we identified something that was missing in the kitchen: the perfect pan. That’s when we first had the idea for The Food Lover.

The Food Lover looks simple and is intuitive to use as if it’s been around forever. But, it took a lot of work to bring our idea to life.

Our first task in creating The Food Lover was choosing materials. We wanted to find the perfect material for heat distribution and retention. It also had to be hard-wearing and look great. After looking at ceramic, aluminium, even stone, we settled on cast iron. There’s a reason Italians have cooked with cast iron for hundreds of years!

The next part of the process was developing the 4-in-1 pan system that we had in our minds. Our designers and engineers worked for 14 months creating the optimal system. We visited dozens of manufacturers to make sure their machine tools were equal to the job of creating our perfect pan.

Finally, we tested our new creation with every type of food you can imagine, notably my family recipe lasagne Bolognese.

We think we’ve created something very special, and we back this up with a lifetime guarantee. Because we spent so long developing and testing The Food Lover, we can be 100% sure that it will become the first thing you reach for when you want to cook up some more magical memories.

Whether it’s an old family recipe passed down from your ancestors to something brand new to wow your dinner guests, The Food Lover will help you produce meals no one will ever forget.
