Every Azerbaijani family needs a saj. But what is it? A saj is a pan with a concave surface. They date back to ancient times and were traditionally made from clay and cast iron, although today they are also made from steel. What’s really notable about the saj is its versatility. You can use the concave side to cook delicious meals of meat and vegetables over lighted charcoals, an open fire, a barbeque or a gas stove, or you can use it as a plate for eastern dishes that need to be served hot. The reverse side is perfect for baking breads like lavash or lepeshka, garnished with sesame seeds and other Uzbek spices.

The saj is uniquely designed to stop food from going cold when served and to retain its wonderful aroma, so your guests can enjoy their meal to the fullest.

The saj does not require any special care or storage methods. Cast iron is naturally non-stick and burn-proof, so it is easy to wash. All you need to do before you start cooking is to grease the surface with vegetable oil or fat.
