I Made Iron Ingot Molds Using Just a Microwave!

In this video, I use a regular microwave oven to melt cast iron and create custom iron ingot molds for metal casting. These molds are perfect for pouring aluminum, brass, and copper ingots. I’ll also show you an alternative way to make custom ingots without using iron molds — great for small foundry setups or DIY metal casting projects. If you’re into metal casting, microwave kilns, or DIY foundry projects, this video will help you build durable, reusable molds with simple tools and materials.
