What’s so special?
Well, first of all, what isn’t special about enameled cast iron? This stuff is a dream to cook with. It has all the great cooking qualities of regular cast iron, (even heating, stovetop-to-oven ready), but because of the enameling it doesn’t require the seasoning that bare cast iron requires. It’s also prettier!
The great features of enameled cast iron:
Even heatingRetains heat just like cast ironPut it on the stove, in the oven, in the fridge and even on the table for serving!Thanks to the enamel, it cleans up easilyEnamel is more durable than Teflon, but metal utensils are still verboten! Stick to wood or silicone.Even if the enamel does chip, the cast iron underneath is completely safe–keep on cooking! (Large exposed areas of bare iron will require the same seasoning as a regular cast iron pot to avoid sticking.)
