At Bruntmor, we believe that mealtime should be a cherished experience shared with family and friends. That’s why for over a decade, we’ve been handcrafting high-quality cast iron cookware that makes any kitchen feel like home.
Our Story
It all started in a small workshop in the Dutch countryside, where our founder perfected the art of cast iron craftsmanship passed down through generations. Every piece was made entirely by hand, from casting each pan to polishing and seasoning it to perfection.
Word of our dutch ovens and skillets soon spread across Europe for their unmatched heating performance and long-lasting durability. But we didn’t want this centuries-old cooking tradition reserved for professional chefs – we believed every home cook deserved to experience the joys of cooking with cast iron.
So in 2008, we brought the Bruntmor brand to the USA. After years of feedback from many happy customers, we relocated to Tennessee and opened our flagship factory store where customers can see our cast iron cookware being made first-hand.
Today our small team of seasoned experts (no pun intended) carry on our founder’s legacy with the same passion and patience he instilled in us. We still hand-craft every piece from raw materials to finished product without taking shortcuts. Because enjoying mealtime with your loved ones shouldn’t be rushed.
Our Process
Creating heirloom-quality cast iron requires meticulous effort from start to finish. Here’s how we do it:
- Melting – We melt recycled iron and steel at over 2,000°F in our induction furnace. Once liquefied, we carefully add the precise amounts of carbon and silicone.
- Molding – The liquid iron is poured into sand molds, which give each piece its distinct shape. Skillets are molded bottom-up, while dutch ovens are molded top-down.
- Cooling and Cleaning – The cast pieces cool in the molds before being knocked out. Then we grind off excess material and sand residue.
- Seasoning – Pre-seasoning gives our cookware its signature nonstick patina. We evenly coat each piece with proprietary natural oils and bake it at over 500°F. This process is repeated 3-5 times until the iron is jet black.
- Polishing – Lastly, we smooth out the cooking surface by hand-buffing until it has a subtle sheen. This enhances both appearance and nonstick ability.
While other brands take shortcuts, we refuse to compromise on quality. Our time-honored technique results in cast iron that’s lighter, smoother, and naturally nonstick right out of the box.
Our Favorites
After years of testing recipes, listening to customer feedback, and sharing many delicious meals around the family table, here are three Bruntmor favorites we’re especially proud of:
Bruntmor Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet
Our 10.25” skillet is perfect for searing steaks, frying eggs, and sautéing veggies. Its broad cooking surface provides ample room while retaining even heat distribution that you can only get from cast iron. The ergonomic handle gives you control and keeps cool even at high temperatures. Its versatility makes it a staple for every home cook.
Bruntmor Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven
Braising, stewing, baking – this 6-quart dutch oven does it all. The premium enameled exterior gives it a smooth, chip-resistant finish that’s easy to clean, while the cast iron core provides superior heat retention. With ample depth and a tight-fitting lid to lock in moisture, slow-cooked stews come out incredibly tender. It’s ideal for both stovetop and oven recipes.
Bruntmor Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Grill Pan
Get those covetable char marks at home with our grill pan. Raised ridges let grease drain away from your protein while you get an even, crispy sear. The ribbed bottom gives it durability to withstand metal spatulas and the high heat needed for perfect grill marks. An angled handle and pour spouts make for easy maneuvering.
Our Commitment
At Bruntmor, we’re dedicated to more than just superior cookware – we want to help create lasting memories around the dinner table. That’s why we publish recipes, cooking tips, and even host giveaways on our blog.
We partner with charities that provide culinary training for underserved communities. And we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee because we want you and your family to love cooking with our iron as much as we do.
