Netherton Foundry Crochta Pan 10 inch

It is hard to find any history of these pans on the internet, but anecdotal evidence has thrown up several stories of their being used in Norfolk, of their use in so-called blackhouses in the Hebrides as well as Devon, Ireland and as far afield as Hungary. Crochta is the Irish word for hanging. 
 
Based on our traditional frying pans, the crochta pan has an arched handle with hanging ring and a useful pouring spout.  Made from our pre-seasoned spun iron, these are sturdy, but not too heavy.
Originally designed to be used hanging over a fire, these pans are equally at home on the hob.

Why choose a pre- seasoned pan ?
No chemicals or PTFE are used in the coating of the pan.
The edible Sussex flax oil coating is easy to wash & naturally non-stick. It is ready for immediate use. 
Coating can be simply restored at home, time after time .
Iron pans are tough and can be used at very high temperatures.

Iron is a pure, simple metal which is easy to look after & very recyclable.
