Hey all you cast iron fans! Take a look at these cast aluminum pans from design firm Matteo Thun and Partners. More pics below...
Archetun Collection of Cast Aluminum Pans
The Archetun collection of skillets, pans and saucepans was designed by Matteo Thun to cater for the simple, elegant Mediterranean diet. They are made of cast aluminum, which the designers feel is the best material for a fast, precise control of heat. The pans are designed to be durable: extremely resistant to wear, tear and abrasion, with a thick structure, a continuous profile, clean lines and comfortable, heatproof handles. Beautiful basics, they say.
We think they're lovely and sleek yet with that classic, heavy-duty appeal of the cast-iron skillets we all love.
Availability? No word on that - we'll do some digging, though.

I think that's the first time you can call a cast iron skillet, sexy.

Are the insides of these lined with anything? Absorbing aluminum through cookware can be extremely bad for your health.

They've got all of the visual style of cast iron with none of the practical features (price, heat retention, naturally nonstick)! Seriously, why would you waste your money on these? Maybe there's a reason they're not for sale.

Why not reinvent a cast iron skillet with none of the Good qualities! (price, heat retention, naturally nonstick)!
Well, perhaps Aluminum is not good for you, but we can amp that up by adding a Non stick surface that we know is Bad for you!
These are Great "Prop" pans for people who want a beautiful non working Kitchen.
