Modern-day cookware. Lighter, naturally nonstick, use on any heat source, built to last centuries.

Story

Introducing America’s ultimate 10″ iron workhorse skillet. 

Versatile, durable, light, and tough enough to handle the heat of a professional kitchen. Built to last generation after generation. Stamped with the month and year of manufacture.

SOLIDteknics designs healthy, sustainable and multi-generational kitchen tools. Modern-day heirlooms, manufactured here in the USA.

What makes us different?

  • Seamless, one-piece design
  • No toxic, synthetic coatings
  • Much lighter than traditional cast iron
  • Handles stay cool to the touch
  • Use on any heat source
  • Seasoned and ready to cook!
  • Multi-century warranty
  • Made in Chicago

Our wrought iron skillets will:

  • Stay cool to handle
  • Heat quickly and evenly
  • Hold heat due to excellent thermal mass
  • Last centuries

Our wrought iron skillets will not:

  • Crack
  • Break
  • Chip
  • Scratch
  • Need replacing

Wrought iron skillets are great for:

Frying – pan-fry steak, eggs, flatbreads and fish fillets, deep-fry chicken…and so much more

Baking – cornbread, brownies, pastries, desserts, bread, etc.

Searing – enhance the flavor of your steak, tender inside, caramelized outside. Use our ‘flaming skillet’ to achieve a flame-grilled taste for meats, seafoods and vegetables – and those classic barbecue grill marks.

Roasting – you no longer need a dedicated pan for roasting meats, seafood or vegetables. A skillet that goes from stovetop to oven is your space-saving solution.

Slow cooking – iron skillets are wonderful for slow cooking on low temperatures, using stovetop or oven.

Sautéing vegetables – vegetables and butter…then direct to table to share with family and friends.

Outdoor or camping trips – everything tastes better when cooked over an outdoor fire!

Seamless, one-piece design

Our US-ION™ skillets are wrought from a single sheet of iron into one seamless, sustainable, indestructible piece. No rivets, welds or screws means better cleaning and no wobbly handles, ever again!

No toxic, synthetic coatings

Our skillets are built to last multiple generations. Made from 100% clean American iron, and Quenched™ seasoned in non-GMO rice bran oil free of contaminants. No PTFEs. No PFOAs. No PFAs. No EDCs. No toxins, heavy metals, or carcinogens. Good for the planet, and good for the health of you and your family.

Much lighter than traditional cast iron

Our skillets are wrought, not cast, making them roughly 50% lighter than traditional cast iron skillets. They’re also more conductive and even more durable, as they can never crack!

Handles stay cool to the touch

Our long ergonomic handles are designed for cool comfort. Based on simple thermodynamics, the ventilation gaps in the handles effectively dissipate heat so it won’t transfer to your hand under normal, stovetop cooking.

Use on any heat source

Suitable for all heat sources – take your skillets from stovetop, to oven, to BBQ and campfire! Perfect for home use or camping, and tough enough for professional kitchens. Our cookware is loved by home cooks and chefs alike. Our skillets can handle the heat:

  • Gas, electric, ceramic or induction cooktops
  • Traditional or pizza ovens
  • Wood burning stoves
  • Barbecues, grills, campfires and hot coals.

Seasoned and ready to cook! 

Our Quenched™ seasoning is a game-changer in iron cookware: our skillets are heated to a precise high temperature, then quickly dunked in a chilled tank of rice bran oil. The end result is healthy oil instantly transformed into a strong black layer of hard, inert, non-toxic seasoning. Our skillets are smoother than cast iron for better natural non-stick, and more textured than machined cast iron so seasoning doesn’t flake off. Natural, non-toxic, non-stick cooking at its finest – ready to cook out of the box! 

Multi-century warranty

All our skillets come with a multi-century warranty. Built tough and designed to be passed down through generations, we stamp them with the month and date of manufacture for heirloom collectibility.

Made in Chicago

Two factories, one mission.

Solidteknics began manufacturing operations in Australia in 2014, and we established our USA operations in 2018. We manufacture in Chicago using 100% pure, clean, heavy metal-free USA iron. We are deeply committed to the manufacture of healthy and sustainable cookware.

We are new to Indiegogo!

We’ve launched our USA-made products through 15 Kickstarter campaigns, and this is our first Indiegogo venture. We produce two ranges of cookware in the USA: ‘US-ION’ wrought iron and ‘nöni’ stainless steel. Click here for a history of Solidteknics USA campaigns successfully launched through Kickstarter.

SOLIDTEKNICS is built on the premise that there are enough people like us who are tired of the waste and damage of the disposable consumer world, and are willing to think before they buy. Consumers who take personal responsibility for their purchasing decisions, and thereby influence corporate and governmental policy by ‘voting with their wallet’. 

We believe in a more sustainable industry where cookware is not a disposable item, and is not coated with questionable synthetics for a little extra consumer convenience.

We only want SOLID and healthy cooking tools that are designed to be the best of their kind in the world, and made with such quality and integrity that they will last for multiple generations and centuries.

Support our mission! Use the Indiegogo share tools to spread the word!
