At Ironclad, every pour is tested to ensure our cast iron is pure enough to cook with. That might sound obvious, but it isn’t. Over the years, we’ve tested samples of discount cast iron to see how they manage such low prices—and found ingredients we wouldn’t want anywhere near our food.

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 is currently up to each manufacturer to ensure their products are safe.

At Ironclad, we test to meet the highest standards currently available globally. In Germany, our cookware complies with LFGB standards, and in America, it meets both FDA regulations and California Proposition 65 requirements.

The Ironclad Vault is a secure digital platform that stores your Ironclad Guarantee alongside your family’s most treasured recipes and the stories behind them. With every Heirloom pan, you receive lifetime access to this platform, ensuring that the meals you create, the memories you share and the traditions you pass down are preserved for generations. 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, imagine gifting an Heirloom pan filled with recipes contributed by loved ones - Turning the pan into more than just a tool, but a living legacy.
