Soapstone Cook & Serve Ware

WHAT IS SOAPSTONE?

Soapstone is a beautiful bluish gray rock with small veins that give it character. In its softest, purest form, soapstone is talc. The stone is mined in Brazil, and then cut by craftsmen to the shape of the cooking utensil.

Soapstone pots & pans are individually hand carved from solid stone nuggets by artisans. Our pots and pans are substantial cookware with unique virtues in the kitchen.

Soapstone cookware is high end and versatile. Just a little softer than granite, soapstone (steatite) cookware is durable and beautiful.It is for those who want something a bit different than the ordinary.

WHY CHOOSE SOAPSTONE?

Soapstone is desirable for its practicality as well as its elegance and its surprising cost effectiveness. Soapstone has natural properties of heat conduction and retention (twice the heat storage of any metal), making it a versatile economic cookware. It’s completely nonporous, which means it won’t stain and is bacteria resistant.

Chemically inert, our stone pots do not change the flavour of food, and cook with remarkable evenness; there are no hot spots in a soapstone pot. Soapstone retains heat. When you fry in stoneware meats brown up better than in any other sort of metal.

Soapstone cook and serve ware is perfectly suited for indoor and outdoor cooking. Once cured, the stone shows no wear from grill flames or smoke and have a natural, non-stick surface.

A great alternative for those who don't want to cook with metals - and it never rusts!
