I just bought it, why is it so heavy?

Some japanese brand called "Grand", the cheapest one and I didn't care about the name.

Why not make the inside of the iron hollow so it will be lighter?

Hollowed out iron turns into lead much faster than solid iron. You would only get three or four uses out of it.

>> No.12612175

>>12611793
Because cast iron already has shitty heat transfer and adding an air pocket inside the thing isn't going to help that.
Also could you even cast it with a hollow centre? Seems like you'd need a pretty complicated mold.
