	Creating the Pattern: -	A tool is built with 2 pattern plates. The male pattern plate produces the interior shape, and the female pattern plate produces the exterior plate.
	Casting: -	The moulding sand is then injected and pressed between these plates to produce a sand mould. When the 2 sand moulds are secured together, they form a mould of the particular piece of cookware.
	Pouring: -	Molten cast iron is automatically poured into this sand mould, after which the mould is destroyed.
	Stripping: -	Once cooled, the piece is removed from the sand mould.
	Shot Blasting: -	The stripped raw piece is then blasted with small metal pellets to remove the sand.
	Fettling: -	Any burrs and rough edges are removed.
	Grit Blasting: -	Small steel filings blast the piece to give the piece a roughness with no impurities, ready for adhesion of enamel.
	Inspection/ Ground Coat: -	The piece is then inspected for any roughness, and then sprayed with the ground coat enamel.
	Colour: -	The colour is sprayed on and then dried and fired.
