Traditional cooking techniques, deeply embedded in Middle Eastern and African cuisines, often require high heat and sustained cooking times, which cast iron cookware is particularly well-suited for. Dishes such as tagines in Morocco, stews in Ethiopia, and grilled meats in the Gulf region benefit from cast iron’s superior heat retention and even distribution, which enhance flavor profiles and allow these recipes to be cooked authentically.
As a result, cast iron cookware is becoming increasingly popular among households that value quality cooking tools that support traditional food preparation. The region’s economic growth and the rising middle class, particularly in countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and South Africa, have also contributed to the rising popularity of cast iron cookware.
As disposable incomes increase, many households are investing in high-quality, durable products, viewing cookware as an essential part of their homes. Cast iron’s longevity and ability to withstand frequent use align with this preference, as consumers are drawn to products that promise long-term value.
