Durability, practicality, and good value for money are essential when buying the right cookware… And that’s exactly what you’ll find in Uno Casa cast iron products— plus, a very nice-looking design!
Uno Casa is a relatively small brand but it sure offers some great tools to get creative in the kitchen.
In this post, I’ll share my experience with them.
They recently sent me two of their best-selling products: their enameled cast iron dutch oven and their cast iron skillet set.
I couldn’t be more impressed when I received my new set of cast iron pans. I’ve been using them non-stop.
However, before we dive into the review, let’s talk a little bit about Uno Casa.

Benefits of cast iron + quality of Uno Casa products
You should know I’m a big fan of cast iron cookware, and I’ll explain why.
A cast-iron pan will last forever and you can cook almost anything in it. Not to mention it’s a great choice if you care about maintaining a sustainable and healthy lifestyle.
Why cast iron is one of the healthiest cookware materials ever? I already have an article about this topic.
In a nutshell, cast iron is durable, versatile, easy to clean, and it gets better over the years. All of this makes it an awesome investment because you won’t have to replace any pans or skillets— seriously, those things will live longer than you.
That said, there are a lot of different prices in the market, and the most reliable brands are usually expensive.
However, Uno Casa offers the same high quality as big brands like Le Creuset or Lodge, but at a lower price.
Moreover, all of their cast iron products are pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box.
Shopping online with Uno Casa
Besides the good quality of their products, one of the main advantages of Uno Casa is their fast shipping. It only took 12 consecutive days to arrive in Portugal (in the mid of a lockdown, so pretty impressive).
In the United States, delivery usually takes 3 to 5 working days once your order is processed, and you can track it anytime.
Nevertheless, if you live outside the US, you can contact their customer service for international shipping support. As I mentioned before, Uno Casa’s customer service is amazing. They will be happy to help you get your stuff no matter where you are.
They currently offer free shipping in the US, UK, France, and Germany.
Now, the moment you’ve been waiting for:
Uno Casa enameled cast iron Dutch oven review
First of all, I must say this thing is huge and sturdy, and I love it. You could feed an entire battalion with it. It’s perfect for cooking a special meal for a party or family gathering.
What’s great about this pan is that it heats up evenly and stays hot for hours, so you can use it for slow-cooking dishes and serve the food afterward. In addition to that, it’s coated with enamel, which creates a nonstick surface for easy cleaning.
Also, the color is gorgeous — just look at those pics! It has a two-tone gradient that goes from cherry-red to wine, and it looks super elegant.

Uno Casa cast iron skillet set review
This set includes two cast iron skillets that are rock solid and super useful. The two sizes available provide you with the versatility to prepare whatever you want on any occasion.
Just like the Dutch oven, these skillets spread heat evenly and they are pre-seasoned so you don’t have to worry about food sticking.
Besides that, they have an ergonomic design with comfortable handles on both sides, plus two grease slops to tilt the skillets and drain the fat off the food with ease.
One thing I loved about this set is that it includes two silicone handle covers so you can manipulate the skillets easily and safely while you’re cooking. You can’t put them in the oven, though; they’re just to protect you from the heat.

Few cons of cooking with any cast iron
As much as I love cast iron and it’s my favorite material to cook with, I must be as objective as I can in this review and let you know of something that you may consider before investing in a cast iron set.
One of the few cons of cooking with cast iron pans is that they are heavy, even when they are empty. So, that can be something to think about.
Also, the nonstick properties that you get with a properly seasoned pan are not everlasting. You will have to retouch your seasoning every now and then depending on how much you use the pans.
Final Thoughts
Cast iron cookware is always a good choice, and I must say these Uno Casa products would be a great addition to your kitchen.
In short, their pans and skillets are high-quality, affordable, versatile, and durable gear that you can use for almost anything you want to cook. Totally recommended!
