Why we started
Most kitchens in India already knew cast iron — a tawa handed down, a kadai that outlived every other pan in the house. What was missing was a modern range of it: consistent sizes, considered shapes, and clear guidance for people cooking on it for the first time. RIVEDA exists to make that range.
What we believe
That cookware should be bought once and used often. That a material you can repair is better than one you must replace. And that the honest thing to sell alongside a cast iron pan is the knowledge of how to look after it.
How we think about cookware
Every piece in the range answers to a specific way of cooking. A 22 cm tawa because not everyone wants to lift 3 kg every morning. A 12-pit appam pan because some households cook for eight. A smooth-surface tawa because thin dosas want a smooth surface. Nothing in the catalogue is there to make the list look longer.
Built for everyday cooking
Seventeen cast iron pieces across appam pans, tawas, fry pans, kadai, griddles and a Dutch oven, plus silicon accessories for handling them. Enough range to cook a whole day's meals; small enough that we know every piece in it.
Where it is made
RIVEDA is a cookware brand of Metalix Ferrocast, an iron casting works in the J.K Industrial Zone, Piplana, Rajkot — Gujarat's foundry belt. Our cookware is cast, machined and pre-seasoned in the same facility that supplies industrial and engineering castings, which is why the range is specified by weight and wall thickness rather than by finish alone.
ZED certified
Our foundry holds ZED certification under the Government of India's Zero Defect Zero Effect scheme for MSME manufacturing.
Cast iron grade
Cookware is cast in food-grade FG 200 / FG 260 grey cast iron and pre-seasoned with vegetable oil.
