Food-Safe Cast Iron: Every Ironclad cast iron pour is quality tested to meet the highest global food and safety standards, including FDA and California Proposition 65 requirements.
Everything Compatible: Works on all heat sources, including induction, gas, electric, ceramic, BBQ, oven, pizza oven, and campfire.
Hand-Smoothed: A meticulously hand-finished cooking surface and base create a naturally non-stick pan that is gentle on delicate cooktops.
No Forever Chemicals: Free from PFAS, PFOA, and PTFE.
100-Year Product Warranty: Comes with an extraordinary Three Generation Guarantee®, cast directly into the iron. If your cookware warps, cracks, or loses structural integrity over 100 years of normal daily use, we’ll replace it.
"Normal daily use" means cooking with it, taking it camping, or using it on an oven, BBQ, or campfire. It doesn’t cover things like throwing it into the ocean on a dare, using it as a hammer, eating it, or melting it down for a drink—things of that sort.
Ironclad Vault: Each Ironclad cast iron pan includes free access to the Ironclad Vault®, a secure digital platform to store your warranty info and precious family recipes for generations to come.

LIFETIME SUPPORT
We stand by our products for the long haul. For advice, help, or support, our team is here to help—always.
Every pour is quality tested to ensure that our cast iron is pure enough to cook with.
In Australia and New Zealand, the cast iron industry remains unregulated, with no specific standards for "Food Grade Cast Iron." While we are working to change that, it’s currently up to each manufacturer to ensure their products are safe. At Ironclad, we choose to meet the highest global standards for cookware, including the requirements set by California Proposition 65 and the FDA.
Handcrafted with the same care and quality that defined cast iron cookware of generations past.
Inspired by vintage cast iron pieces from the 1800s, our signature finishing techniques create an elegantly smooth surface that feels almost like ceramic. By carefully grinding and polishing the cooking surface and base, we can create cast iron that is both naturally non-stick and gentle enough for even the most delicate cooktops, including induction.
With every Heirloom pan, you receive lifetime access the Ironclad Vault.
The Ironclad Vault is a secure digital platform that stores your Ironclad Guarantee alongside your family’s most treasured recipes.
As part of a thoughtful gift, the Ironclad Vault can also be preloaded with recipes and messages from friends and family. For weddings, anniversaries, or milestone moments.
Your purchase not only nourishes your family, it also helps feed a family in need.
A portion of the profit from each Ironclad Cast Iron Pan sold goes to KiwiHarvest, a charity dedicated to rescuing surplus food and distributing it to people facing food insecurity.
At Ironclad, we challenge throwaway culture through the concept of 'generational shopping', creating products that last and stay out of landfill.
