11 Reasons to Buy Cast Iron Cookware in India

5. Multi-heat-source versatility (gas, induction, oven)

Modern cast iron products include bases compatible with induction stoves, while traditional pieces work great on gas and open flame. That flexibility makes cast iron a strong pick for North American buyers because homes vary widely: some have gas ranges, others use induction or electric coils, and many cooks use ovens for braising or baking. A cast-iron tawa works for dosa on a flat cooktop, while a heavy kadhai or Dutch oven transfers easily to the oven for slow roasting. When you buy, check the manufacturer's notes for induction compatibility. Many Indian-focused brands now label pans explicitly for induction, which helps urban buyers in North America pick the right piece for their kitchen setup.
