Technical characteristics: Soapstone casserole, par excellence is steatite, used in this line of cookware and composed of: - 40/50% talc, which makes it easily workable and gives it non-stick properties; -40/50% magnesite combined with some minerals (chlorite, dolomite, actinolite), which makes it resistant and compact, capable of withstanding very high temperatures; - other pure minerals (epidote, titanite, serpentine, pyrite, magnetite, limonite, hematite, ilmenite) for the residual percentage.

Soapstone is a metamorphic rock predominantly composed of talc and magnesite. This material has exceptional resistance to thermal shock and has great heat retention capabilities. Both cooking slabs and actual pots can be made from this material.

The slabs, usually with a substantial thickness, can be placed over barbecue coals or in a fireplace. They are typically equipped with a metal frame to stabilize them on the fire and handles for moving them.
They are ideal for cooking meat, fish, and vegetables.
