WHO WE ARE

Eric Vance© for Butter Pat Industries
Butter Pat Industries is a design-oriented manufacturer of cast iron cookware that believes beauty can still be part of utility. Our designs are inspired by historic sources but enabled by new technologies. We are foundrymen and designers, artists and engineers in Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland's Eastern Shore.

OUR STORY
We believe that the tools we use every day should be a pleasure to hold, in our hands and in our eyes. We still think beauty can be part of usefulness.

THE PROCESS
We hand-cast in limited quantities using our own innovative foundry process. We believe we make smoother and lighter cast iron cookware that will last for generations.
We know we do - we make them in the USA.
COWBOY CAULDRON COMPANY
We spend a lot of time cooking (and relaxing) around fires. "Temperature control" takes on a different meaning when you can’t turn a knob. The simple and elegant design of a Cowboy Cauldron makes handling cooking fire a lot easier.
