Airtight Lid Seals 30% More Aroma—Say Hello to Richer Broths

Introduction
The first thing you notice is the shape: a smooth sphere 26 cm across and 12 cm deep, with a short stem and a gentle leaf curl. This cast iron soup pot with lid is cast from refined iron and weighs 2.1 kg, making it a manageable big soup pot for daily use.

Exterior Design
Outline: The body follows the curve of a real apple. The widest point sits below center, giving a low center of gravity.
Stem Handle: A solid cast handle rises 3 cm. It is drilled for a hanging loop and stays cool for the first five minutes on the stove.
Leaf Knob: A small leaf-shaped knob tops the lid. It is 5 mm thick and gives a secure grip even with a cloth.
Surface: Inside and out, the stock pot with lid is coated with raw maifanite mineral non-stick treatment. Nano-scale glaze particles are packed tightly across the surface and fired at 2000 °C, then melt-polished so the gloss resists peeling under normal cooking conditions.

Wall and Base Construction
Wall: 3 mm refined iron.
Base: 4 mm composite multi-layer base, bonded flat to the body. The flat base rests evenly on gas, induction and ceramic hobs.

Lid Engineering
Fit: The iron lid has an arch that mirrors the apple curve. Steam condenses on the curved roof and falls back as small drops.
Spikes: 36 raised bumps under the lid, each 3 mm high and 5 mm wide, create drip points that return moisture evenly across the surface of the food.
Gap test: With water at a rolling boil, escaping steam measures 30 % less than a flat-lid pot of the same volume.

Handles and Balance
Side handles: Two loop handles, each 8 mm thick, are set low so the big soup pot is easy to lift when full.
Balance point: When holding both loops, the pot tilts 5° before liquid reaches the rim, giving precise pour control.

Cleaning and Care
Rinse while warm. Dry on low flame for 60 seconds.
A thin wipe of oil on the rim protects the maifanite layer.
Avoid steel wool; use a soft sponge and mild detergent.

Storage and Display
The 26 cm footprint allows upright stacking. A 20 cm shelf fits two pots.
The stem handle acts as a hook; the cast iron soup pot with lid hangs from a rail and frees shelf space.

Summary
The apple outline is not only visual. The curved walls and lid spikes return moisture, the composite base spreads heat evenly on gas, induction or ceramic, and the compact 26 cm size fits most stoves and ovens.
