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. In this case, however, the product protection was complete and the roaster was therefore in perfect condition.
The packaging of the roaster is partially recyclable. Unfortunately, the plastic bags are not recyclable, but the Amazon box and Flavemotion box are.
Overall, the Flavemotion cast iron casserole makes a very good first impression.

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.

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.
