"We gave this to our son for his 21st.
He absolutely loves it.
A gift that will last a lifetime."
“"It's a bit overwhelming when your handmade recycled cast iron pan (you dreamed about for 2 years) arrives and has your own message on the bottom along with the Ironclad guarantee."
“"The best cast iron skillet I've ever owned."
“"What will I pass on to my son? He’s 7 now, and so far I’ve taught him to laugh at his own jokes, ride a bike, draw and paint, enjoy baked beans with anything, and solve one side of a Rubik’s cube. Now I can add frying an egg to the list—in a pan that will outlast me! A strange but lovely thought. I can picture him now, all grown up, cooking for friends and family with the same pan I taught him with. Chuckling away at one of his own jokes."

What is made well will outlast us all.
Every Heirloom is crafted with the same care and precision found in pre-industrial cast iron. Back then, cookware was made by hand, resulting in smoother surfaces and exceptional durability.
Unlike modern pans, caked in an alphabet of poisons, these objects were designed to improve with age. So, while most of the companies that produced these early pieces are long gone, their cookware is still in use today.
Inspired by this legacy, each Ironclad Heirloom is hand poured and polished to create a ceramic-smooth surface, gentle enough for delicate cooktops and free from harmful modern chemicals.
Although refined and delicate to look at, rest assured each piece is made to withstand daily use for generations.
We wouldn’t make them any other way.
Your family legacy, cast in iron.
Used daily, shared across meals, witness to both laughter and arguments, and inseparable from the family traditions it serves. That connection is why every Ironclad Pan carries our Three Generation Guarantee® cast into the iron. But the Heirloom offers the chance to make that promise more personal.
You can personalise the guarantee on your Heirloom with a name, date, or short message—small details that will make this a lasting part of your family’s story.
Over time, the pan will gather its own stories alongside those etched into its surface. Meals shared, moments remembered, traditions passed down. Long after we’re gone, these marks endure, connecting one generation to the next and preserving your legacy in the most meaningful way.
Preserve your family's culinary history with the Recipe Vault.
The Recipe 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 Recipe 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. With every meal cooked, the recipient adds new chapters to the story, keeping the tradition alive for years to come.
Think of your pan as an ingredient.
At Ironclad, every pour is quality tested to ensure that our cast iron is pure enough to cook with. That might sound obvious, but it isn’t.
Over the years, we’ve tested lots of discount cast iron to understand how some manufacturers can sell a pan for the price it costs to ship one. What we found were ingredients we’d never want 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’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.
Every Ironclad Pan feeds a family in need.
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. KiwiHarvest tackles this problem by making sure good food is used, not wasted. Together, we are rethinking how we consume, working towards a more thoughtful and sustainable future.

Food-grade cast iron? What's the deal?
Food-grade cast iron? What's the deal?
Think of your cookware like an ingredient—you want the best quality for your food. There are four types of cast iron, but only grey cast iron is ideal for cookware. At Ironclad, we test every pour for purity and we use only food-safe grey cast iron. Unlike some brands that opt for cheaper, lower-grade iron. Always check with your cookware maker about their materials—they owe you that transparency.
What about import duties and taxes?

We want to ensure a smooth delivery for your Ironclad. For international orders, please be aware that your country may impose additional import duties and taxes. You can estimate these costs by contacting your local customs office before placing your order.
