ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at the packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, of course, adequate protection of the product must also be ensured.

Flavemotion's cast iron roaster arrived in the typical Amazon box. The box was undamaged. In the box was the actual Flavemotion box, which is quite nicely and clearly designed. This in turn contained the roaster lid, which can also be used as a pan! There were also two red ones in the box rubber cooking gloves, a Instructions , and a thank you note. The roaster, the lid and the gloves were all packed in plastic bags. This would not have been necessary in every case.

ℹ️ The first impression after unpacking sticks in most people's minds. Are the package contents complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product directly?

After unpacking, several things were found on the work surface. Next to the roaster, lid, and rubber pot gloves became one Instructions and a thank you letter included. These instructions contain information on the use and care of the product in German and English. Contact information is spread across the letter and box. The only thing we couldn't find was a phone number for Flavemotion. The customer is nicely informed that the Customer service can be reached at any time using the contact details provided.

All in all, we are talking about an extraordinarily well thought-out and customer-friendly way of sending a product, only the complete contact information such as telephone number is missing.

ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the product processing. How high-quality are the materials used? Are the haptics & optics satisfactory?

The roaster consists of cast iron and is oval in shape. It holds up to 4,6 liters and is therefore one of the smaller roasters on the market. The lid, which can also be used as a frying pan, is also made of cast iron in the same shape and almost 1,5 liters. The lid has a ribbed interior. Both the roaster and the lid have small handles on the left and right, which form slightly higher handles when placed on top of each other. The lid stays neatly on the roaster. Together, the roaster and lid weigh 6,5 kg. It is quite heavy, but extremely stable. There is nothing wrong with the workmanship in our test model. Visually, the roaster is quite simple, but beautifully designed, with a few decorations on the outside of the lid. The name of the company is also engraved. Although a cast iron pot is very energy-intensive to produce, it is extremely durable, making it a very sustainable product.

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore the most weight. Here the product has to undergo a wide variety of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

We used both for our test vegetarian as well as dishes with Meat prepared. Always has the roaster for uniform heat distribution taken care of, which has had an impact on a positive cooking result. Frying also worked extremely well both in the roaster and in the lidded pan. We are not burned and the Frying results can itself let see. The roaster is easy to handle, only the heavy weight could cause some people slight problems. Since it is a oval When it comes to roasting pans, problems can arise on a stove with only round plates that parts of the plate are not covered or that only part of the base of the roasting pan is heated. The roaster could be a little larger for some applications. The additional function lid as a ladle to be able to use has fully convinced. The roaster is cleaned exclusively with hot water and usually works perfectly after a short soak.
