The Cast Iron Cooking Stove A Cooking Classic



If there is one thing that makes a kitchen unique it is the type of stove used for the cooking. And despite the huge improvement in cooking technology, there is still no shortage of demand for the old style cast iron cooking stove. This stove seems to embody the vintage look, and yet it too has had its share of technological improvements, from the use of inner materials other than iron, the improvements to fuel burning and the ability to burn different types of fuel. This article will look at the different aspects of a cast iron cooking stove and what a prospective buyer needs to be aware of.
Like many vintage household items which have entered the reproduction market, the cast iron stove has undergone some great technological improvements while keeping the basic classic design. One of the main innovations in the design is that the stove does not actually need to be made totally from iron. By using steel for the stove oven, the stove becomes much easier to clean, and thats something which any cook can appreciate, although the other is, of course, having a lot of space to do the cooking in.
Traditional Cast Iron Stove
The traditional design of the cast iron cooking stove offers a lot of cooking room, which is perfect when cooking large meals for a large family. Even though the technology has improved the functionality of the stove, the traditional layout of the stove top has never been bettered.
However, another technological improvement is that the firebox-the place where the fuel is actually burned-has become much more efficient in the modern models. The firebox is sealed, and so conserves fuel to a high degree, meaning you get far more heat from the wood or other fuel than you did in days gone by. The improvement in the stove firebox has also meant that many stoves can now burn different types of fuel. In the old days it would have been wood only, but the modern type of cooking stove can also burn coal and even briquettes.
Antique Cast Iron Stoves
Because of this, most people who buy a cast iron cooking stove opt for the modern model. However, there are several places where you can buy real antique cast iron stoves, and these places also have cooking models in stock. If the thought of burning wood or other fuel doesnt appeal to you, it is possible in some cases to have an antique cast iron cooking stove converted to gas or even electricity.
Theres no doubt that the cast iron cooking stove will remain a firm favorite in the years to come. With its technological advancements allowing for easier cleaning and the burning of various fuel types, the owner of one of these stoves is essentially getting the best of both worlds-a vintage looking cooking stove with all the modern functionality you could want.
