Nontoxic and Nonstick
Wondering makes cast iron better? Adding nutritional value, such as boosting antioxidant content in your food, cooking with a cast iron can help to preserve a higher amount of antioxidants naturally present in your food. Due to its wonderful heat retention properties, cast iron helps to prevent oxidation of the antioxidants in your food. Made of 100% cast iron, RJ Legend’s 1.9Q Dutch Oven Pot is perfect for this recipe. This dutch oven pot also features 3 coatings of enameled layering that is naturally nonstick. Due to the cast iron having naturally nonstick properties, there are no added harmful chemicals or coatings, making this a safer option for cooking and serving food.
Butter Chicken with Ghee?
What is ghee? Similar to Butter, Ghee is essentially concentrated butter (without milk solids – great for those who are lactose intolerant). This means all the nutrients and vitamins in regular butter are concentrated in ghee as well – making this a nutritional powerhouse!
