Our extensive range of high-quality enameled cast iron cookware is designed for ease and versatility of use, seamlessly integrating with all styles of cooking, cooking appliances, and kitchen or dining decor. Before using your cookware for the first time, please read this section, as the information it contains will help you achieve the best possible cooking results.
Enameled cast iron is a remarkable and robust material that performs exceptionally well with modern food preparation and cooking requirements. Whether you choose to stir-fry, slow-cook a casserole, sear a steak, or bake a cake, there is a suitable shape and size to suit your needs. Cast iron excels at both slow cooking and high-temperature searing.
This versatile material can be used reliably on any heat source, including induction, and with any oven or grill. Cast iron's ability to retain heat efficiently allows for the use of lower heat settings in stovetop and oven cooking, and a hot covered dish will keep food hot for second servings.
Cast iron can also be used to keep foods cold. A chilled dish becomes an ideal cold food server on a hot summer day, and it can even be placed in the freezer for food storage or advanced food preparation.
High heat temperatures should only be used for boiling water for vegetables or pasta, or for reducing the consistency of stocks or sauces. Overheating cast iron will cause food to burn or stick, as this material retains heat so efficiently.
The vitreous enamel surface is impermeable, making it ideal for raw or cooked food storage and for marinating with acidic ingredients such as wine. For frying and sautéing, the fat should be hot before adding food. Oil is hot enough when there is a gentle ripple in its surface, and bubbling or foaming indicates the correct temperature for butter and other fats. If either begins smoking or if butter begins browning, it is too hot and should be cooled slightly before proceeding.
Our enameled cast iron cookware features several enhancements: - 45% larger handles for a secure grip, even with oven mitts - Superior heat distribution and retention - An advanced sand-colored interior enamel with even more resistance to wear - A larger composite knob that withstands temperatures up to 500°F - Colorful, long-lasting exterior enamel that resists chipping and cracking - Dishwasher safe
