Maintenance Tips

What are the points under the lid of my Hearthstone Cookware for?

Surely you have ever asked yourself: what are the points under the covers for?

In Hearthstone Cookware Casseroles/Dutch Oven’s and pans we incorporate this special feature called condensation distribution points.

This relief ensures that not a single juice is lost in our cooking and, consequently, our preparations are much juicier, since it allows the food to be saturated with its own juice, for a spectacular result full of flavor.

And how do these condensation distribution points work, you might wonder, right?

It is a simple mechanic, but with spectacular results. The steam reaches the lid and, due to its temperature difference with the cooking, turns it back into liquid that concentrates at these points to fall back into the cocotte or pan.

In fact, if we interrupt this process and, during cooking, we open our cocotte or frying pan, we will see how the liquid quickly pours into our preparation.

The result is tender, juicy and much less caloric preparations, since with this characteristic we need to use much less oil.

You know, if you want to cook healthy and delicious, do it with a lid.
