The physical properties of this amazing metal, combined with its affordable price, make it possible to assert that this dish will continue to exist in our everyday life.

Advantages of cookware made of cast iron

This material is an alloy of iron and carbon, the latter content is 2.14%. The melting point is about 1250 ° C. Carbon alloys of iron imparts hardness, reducing softness and plasticity. Cast iron has a low thermal conductivity, as a result of which the dishes "Biol" (the owners' testimonials confirm this) are slowly heating up, but it keeps the temperature perfectly. This allows you to prepare meals using the "Russian oven" effect. In this case, the dish does not just heat up, but it also consumes the necessary time.

Technology of the trade mark "Biol"

The company has mastered the production of cast iron utensils, and today uses the most advanced technologies in the field of casting, namely, molding into chill molds. Many housewives note the aesthetics of Biol's products, as well as its functionality and practicality.

Practically all the utensils, made of cast iron of the trade mark "Biol", undergo the process of thermal oxidation (treatment in an oil medium).
