Timeless Form
A new form in cast iron, engineered for popcorn performance with applications in a range of culinary methods, the Signature Kettle is more than utility. Referencing traditional hearth-fire cooking vessels, the geometry of its interior gives distinctive form to its exterior. Adapted for the modern kitchen, an integral footing provides stability on the flat plane of the stovetop, sized for standard appliances.
Multi-use
The Signature Kettle serves a range of cooking methods:
- roast
- steam
- popcorn
- soups & stews
- cake mold
- deep fry
- sourdough
The rounded interior keeps the contents in a dynamic state of movement toward the center of the surface. Oven safe to 500+ F. Induction, electric, and gas compatible.
Dimensions:
Interior diameter: 9.5” • Across handles: 12.5”
Height without lid: 6” • Height with lid: 9”
Weight: Lid 4 lbs • Base 8 lbs
Care: For popcorn, wipe clean with a dishtowel, allowing residual oil to condition the surface. Wash periodically with warm water, no abrasives. If there are stuck on bits then soak in warm water for 30 min (but no more than a few hours), wash, rinse clean, and dry thoroughly.
Engineered for performance
The Signature Kettle is cast in iron, a plentiful, natural element from the earth’s crust. Long ago, iron was formed through fusion in the cores of massive stars. When the stars reached maximum mass and energy, they collapsed and then burst into supernovas, releasing the iron in use today. Cook’s Kettle is 100% recycled iron— or, recycled stardust.
