Enamel cast iron each piece is slightly unique, long term cast iron cooks appreciate this adds character and is not an integral flaw on the dish.

Enamelled Cast Iron:

Cast Iron is used primarily for its strength, conductivity and heat retention, making it ideal for cooking and presentation. Where very hot food is presented, such as fajitas or anything ‘sizzling’, cast iron will normally be used. The ‘enamelling’ comes from a special coating that is added to the cast iron and then baked on at high temperatures.

This helps to prevent premature rusting, and allows for easier care and cleaning, without the need to season the cast iron before cooking due to the smoother surface. This material is ideal when aesthetics are at the forefront of your decision, as the enamelling allows these dishes to be made into a wide variety of colours, for an eye-catching design for any table display.

An important point to consider when choosing this material is that, as with stoneware, abrasive cleaning should be avoided, and they should not be used for frying or fried foods as the enamel has a tendency to stick.
