Cast iron is renowned for its heat retention properties, which extend not only to the cookware itself but also to its lids. When used together, they create a sealed environment that traps heat and moisture, ensuring even cooking and enhancing the flavors of your dishes. The heavy weight of a cast iron lid helps it to stay firmly in place, preventing steam from escaping and allowing food to cook more efficiently. This is particularly beneficial for slow-cooked dishes, stews, and braised meats where tenderness is key.
The seat of the valve, where the gate meets when closed, is often made from resilient materials such as brass, stainless steel, or rubber, forming a tight seal to prevent leaks. The body of the valve can be made from various materials such as cast iron, carbon steel, and ductile iron, depending on the application and the nature of the media being controlled.
