xWhat is the Iron Fish?
The Iron Fish is a reusable, fish-shaped kitchen tool that subtly infuses meals with iron as you cook. Crafted from natural iron, it releases a gentle, steady amount into boiling water, letting you enrich soups, grains, and sauces without changing the taste or texture of your foods.
This compact, durable accessory is designed for everyday use and is a practical option for households seeking simple, gradual iron supplementation through regular meals. The 2-pack comes with a burlap storage bag for easy organization and transport.
How to use
- Boil 1 liter of liquid, then add the Iron Fish with a few drops of acidity (such as lemon or vinegar).
- Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, then remove the fish and continue cooking with your ingredients.
- After cooking, clean, dry, and store the Iron Fish in the included burlap bag in the refrigerator.
What to expect
- When used as directed, the Iron Fish releases 6–8 mg of absorbable iron per session, roughly 40% of the daily iron requirement for an average person.
- Regular use with familiar foods can help you integrate iron into your routine without added steps.
- The appearance of rust is a normal, harmless sign of natural iron; it is safe to clean and continue using.
Care and safety
- To prevent rust buildup, clean the iron fish promptly after removing it from the pot and dry thoroughly.
- If rust appears, scrub with lemon juice or vinegar to restore appearance and continue using as directed.
- Do not use if you have a known Hemochromatosis-like condition; consult a clinician if you have concerns about iron intake.
The Iron Fish is designed to fit into everyday cooking, offering a practical way to enhance your meals with mineral content while you go about your usual recipes.
