According to her, drying the pots immediately after washing has made a significant difference.

"It’s important that after you wash them, you dry them straight away and make sure there is no water left in them. This has really helped me keep them in great condition," she said in the video.

She also shared practical cooking tips, noting that cast iron heats up very quickly. As a result, @suveena_ishka advised people to cook on low heat to prevent food from burning. She added that one of her favourite features of the pots is their ability to retain heat.

"What I absolutely love is that these pots hold heat very well. Even after the food is cooked, it stays hot for a long time, which is perfect when serving," she explained.

Reflecting on her overall experience, @suveena_ishka said she was impressed by how durable and efficient the pots have been. After six months of use, she confidently recommended them to others, highlighting that they cook food beautifully and are a healthy option for everyday meals.
