How to Clean and Care for Enameled Cast-Iron Cookware: Dutch Ovens and Skillets
How do I prevent my enameled cookware from scratching or chipping?
Unlike traditional cast iron, these pots have an enameled finish over the interior and exterior of the pot. It makes for a smooth, nonporous surface, although if not cared for properly the finish can chip. These pots can be used to cook just about anything and everything on the stove and in the oven, although because of the enameled finish, it’s not recommended they be used on the grill or over an open flame. It is also recommended you don't subject your pot to dramatic temperature changes and don’t heat an empty pot. Being cautious of this will help to keep your enamel intact. Always match the pan’s base size to the stovetop heat zone to maximize efficiency and to prevent overheating of the pan sides or damage to the handles.
| Reminder: If your enameled cookware does crack or chip, that is OK: There is just plain cast iron under the enamel, which is perfectly safe to cook with. |
