Form and material. The spherical shape ensures even heating of the casana. Cast iron as a metal has low thermal conductivity, i.e. it takes a long time to heat up and a long time to cool down. The heating is even, so that the food is cooked or cooked evenly on all sides, but it is virtually impossible to burn the food in certain areas. This feature will prevent the food from cooling too quickly, so it will taste, smell and colour great when served. Polishing. The inside of the black pudding is polished, the inside surface is smooth.

The exterior of the cauldron is rough due to a dense layer of soot formed by the solidification of the cooking oil and prolonged exposure to the gas burner. Soot doesn’t stain, you don’t get dirty, it’s called anti-corrosion metal treatment. Walls. The 7 mm thick walls ensure long-term stewing of food, keeping it warm for several hours after cooking. Bottom. The cast-iron cauldron is designed for use over an open fire and has a flat bottom. This shape makes it easier to place on the table, and the classic semi-sphere inside the cauldron is kept in the correct proportions. Lid. The aluminium lid fits the shape perfectly and securely covers the cauldron. The comfortable plastic handle does not overheat, making it easy to control the cooking process. Handles. Four strong handles make it easy to move the cauldron.
