The perfect pilaf recipe: why a cast-iron cauldron is your best helper

казан плов

Pilaf is not just a dish, but a whole culinary journey that immerses you in the world of oriental aromas and flavours. In order for pilaf to turn out perfectly, it is important to follow the correct cooking technology. Real pilaf should be crumbly, fragrant and rich. The cauldron in which the pilaf is cooked plays a key role in this process.

Why should real pilaf be cooked in a cauldron?

Real pilaf requires the right temperature regime and even heat distribution, which is ideally provided by a cast-iron cauldron. Cast iron cauldrons have a high thermal conductivity: this allows them to retain heat for a long time and ensure even cooking. The lid of the cauldron retains steam, creating ideal conditions for stewing pilaf, making it juicy and flavourful.
