Why can a pot last for hundreds of years? Skent has always adhered to exquisite traditional handicrafts and is the only existing company in Scandinavia that produces cast iron kitchenware and household products. The company was founded in 1906 by Mr. Carl E. Andersson, a Swedish American. The factory is located in the picturesque village of Skeppshult, in the center of the southern Swedish forest. It has a history of more than 110 years and has always insisted on making pots by hand. Many factories are producing products in industrial batches in order to reduce costs, but Skent has always insisted on high quality, coupled with simple and practical European design, providing consumers with a series of products that can be enjoyed for many years. of high-end pots and pans, sold in many international countries. Skent series products have obtained countless patents, which cover innovative, high-tech and high-quality production processes, as well as various international design awards, such as the pot set that won the Stockholm Home Design Award.
The afterglow of the setting sun lights up the clouds, and the clouds inlaid with gold are falling in Sweden. In the village of Skeppshult in the southern forest, blacksmiths are busy using their hands to cast the most original and top-notch Skenten in Northern Europe. Cast iron pot (skeppshult), a factory that originated in 1906, has a history of more than 110 years. Explore the source of the long river and feel its century-old persistence.
It was 1985, the snow was raging and the sky was freezing. Karl Enok Andersson took his fiancée and three young people on a journey to the United States to pursue his dream. Initially, Andersson worked for a sewer line company. But later, he dreamed of becoming a foundry and worked in a foundry. In the foundry, he spent six years mastering the excellent craftsmanship of casting work.
However, success evaporated with a wave of his hand. Andersson fell ill due to climate change and had to return to Sweden for half a year to recuperate. While recuperating, he and his brother went to Halmstad to visit a foundry. This foundry had two casting equipment from the United States. The owner, who did not know the casting know-how, was not satisfied. Therefore, Andersson decided to help the Halmstad foundry improve based on his casting experience, and made good use of the casting equipment that he had been working with in the United States for six years.
After Andersson worked diligently for the Halmstad Foundry for three and a half years, he returned to his hometown again and founded his own foundry in Skeppshult in 1906 - the Skeppshult Foundry. While Andersson's foundry master continued his work until 1946, the skeppshult foundry moved from its original location in the town of B?laryd near Nissan to its current location next to the national highway 105.
After a hundred years of precipitation, skeppshult still adheres to the traditional handicrafts of Andersson and always uses the raw materials of Sweden's second largest lake V?ttern. The fine sand mold is made of fine sand, and its fineness makes the surface of the pot made of natural gray iron ore appear particularly smooth and delicate. Its unruliness stems from countless European design patents and even various international authoritative award-winning designs. It is famous for its top luxury brands such as the jewelry queen Cartier and the famous Italian sports car Alfa Romeo. The aristocratic quality of the cover of the annual issue of the magazine Feinschmeckere.
In Europe, it is the premier century-old cast iron pot, and in Sweden, it is the unique pot used in Michelin restaurants. Michelin has always insisted that only natural, chemical-free pots and pans can cook healthy food. Skeppshult's pure natural materials and ecological rapeseed oil protective coating are consistent with this. In addition, due to its unique balanced heat conduction and heat storage characteristics, it better ensures the originality of the ingredients. Not only that, Skeppshult also casts all-purpose pots, barbecue pots, deep-bottomed woks, frying pans and Chinese stir-fries specially designed for Chinese cooking according to different eating habits. Pots, etc., fully meet all kinds of cooking needs, including complex cooking, stir-frying, pan-frying, deep-frying and steaming; this is why it is the best choice for Michelin kitchens.
In fact, in addition to the "taste" perception of what is tasted by the tongue and smelled by the nose, Skeppshult also has a 25-year warranty definition for "quality", which is the certification of noble quality. , is also Skent’s contribution to the pursuit of healthy food.
In the vast land of China, there is no shortage of delicious food. What is lacking is the quality of cooking healthy food. Cooking seems to be an art of the tongue made of ingredients and fire. What it contains is the "food" brought by the Chinese people's love for tasting the art of the tongue. Cultural charm.
Thoughts after using the Skeppshult cast iron pot from Sweden 30 cm wok. I really like the rough retro style of the cast iron pot and it uses iron. The things fried in the pot are very fragrant. Although this kind of pot looks heavy, it does not heat very slowly and heats evenly. I love raising pots the most. I can’t wait to rub the oil several times a day. It’s like raising a pot. Just like a baby, it is very satisfying to raise this kind of pot, and it can be passed down to the next generation.
Why is Skent hotpot so expensive?
First of all, this is a brand. It has been a brand for more than 100 years since 1906, and its popularity is pretty good. Many Michelin restaurants use this brand of hotpot. Therefore, the product price has a large part of the brand premium.
Second, the materials used are relatively high-quality, such as natural iron ore and rapeseed oil for boiling.
Third, artificial casting is still retained. The centuries-old craft inheritance is worthy of recognition.
Fourth, the material is thick and does not contain any chemical coating. The non-stick effect can be achieved through the characteristics of the pot itself.
In summary, and combined with the current official sales channel price of more than 1,000, this price is reasonable.
I personally recommend these two pots. The overall shape and size of Skent's 30CM Chinese wok and 28CM uncoated non-stick frying pan are basically specially designed according to Chinese needs. It’s much cheaper now. In the past, when I bought it, it didn’t come with a pot lid. .
