cast-iron
Heavy cookware alloy
Cast-iron as an adjective describes objects made from cast iron, a hard brittle alloy of iron and carbon that is shaped by pouring molten metal into a mold.
A cast-iron skillet or cast-iron pan is prized for even heat distribution and durability.
The figurative sense emphasizes strength, rigidity, or unbreakable quality: a cast-iron alibi is airtight, a cast-iron stomach can digest anything, and a cast-iron guarantee is absolutely firm.
