Enamel Cast Iron is recognized as one of the best material available for cooking. The even thickness of the base, walls and lid means that heat distribution is even and energy efficient. It means your dishes will keep looking good from the oven to the table.
How to Maintain Cast Iron Cookwares
Never store food in cast iron
Never wash cast iron in a dishwasher
Never store cast iron utensils wet
Never go from very hot to very cold, and vice versa; cracking may occur
Never store with excess grease in pan, it will turn rancid
Never store with lids on, cushion lid with paper towel to allow air flow
Never boil water in your cast iron cookware – it will ‘wash’ off your seasoning, and it will require a re-seasoning
If you find food sticking to your pan, it is a simple matter to clean the pan well, and set it up for a re-seasoning, just follow the same steps. Don’t forget that dutch ovens and griddles need the same attention as a cast iron skillet.
