After decades of making knives and equipment for chefs in Australia, the USA, and France, food-loving mechanical engineer Mark Henry is launching his innovative new cast iron FonteTM ‘Tough Love’ pans via the crowdfunding site Kickstarter.com and he is casting them in Australia, from clean and safe Australian iron. (Mark Henry is the founder/engineer behind the well-known F?ri knives brand, which he sold in 2008.)
The FonteTM pans are unlike any before them, with their comfortable ‘Love Handles’ and graceful French-influenced ‘Lyonnaise sauteuse’ pan shape, while retaining all the famous benefits of cast iron: even heating, high temperature searing and frying, toughness. The pans come lightly ‘pre-seasoned’, for corrosion-resistance and near non-stick, without synthetic coatings.
With Kickstarter crowdfunding, anyone who pledges $99 towards the FonteTM project online is rewarded with a FonteTM Tough Love pan (shipping free in Australia). Each Kickstarter ‘backer’ will receive their pan cast with the historic marking ‘FIRST EDITION’ and the actual casting date. The Kickstarter deadline is September 21, so don’t miss this chance to secure this new iconic Australian brand, and first edition collectible heirloom that can be passed down for centuries!
