How do you cook using enameled cast iron
Wash and dry cookware before first use. Enameled Cast Iron can be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cook tops, outdoor grill and over campfires. They are oven safe to 260 °C! YAY!
However, they are not safe for use in microwave ovens. You can use your preferred cooking oil or spray for better cooking and easier cleaning.
Do not heat an empty covered or uncovered casserole dish. Add your choice of water, oil or butter when heating. Do not leave a pan to boil dry, as this may permanently damage the enamel.
For added longevity, pre-heat and cool your cookware gradually. Low to medium heat is best when cooking as the stove-top provides best results due to natural heat retention of cast iron. The heat retention of cast iron is amazing and far better than other cookware.
Remember to protect the surfaces you're placing your delicious dish on, and pop the cookware on pot pads or heavy cloths.
Enameled cast iron is extremely durable however it may be damaged if accidentally dropped or knocked against a hard surface. If you have the unfortunate circumstance of discovering a chip, it is still safe to use your cookware if it is on the outside. Coat the chipped spot with oil to keep moisture out.
- Wash the skillet or grill pan with hot soapy water and a stiff brush on the black interior surface, rinse and hand dry thoroughly.
- Use 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil and rub thoroughly into the interior black cast iron with a paper towel (not on the outer enameled surface). Remove any excess oil as if you use too much your skillet or grill pan may become sticky. Do not use Olive Oil.
- Bake at 230C for an hour. Place pan upside down on oven rack and place drip tray on a lower rack (in case oil drops onto the base of your oven)
- Allow to cool and repeat as necessary to achieve the classic black stick-resistant layer that forms a well-seasoned cast iron pan.
- Once seasoned your skillet or grill pan will require very little oil during cooking.
Do the lid buttons and handles heat up?
Yes. The button doesn't heat up as much as the handles do since they are cast iron. When handling the cookware use a pot mitt or oven glove.
How do you clean the cookware?
We’ve created our share of messes in the test kitchen and have had a few cooking snafus that required tons of cleanup. Here’s how to clean your enameled cookware. (It also works well for cookware of any material, though it’s usually unnecessary for nonstick).
- Boil Water: Fill it halfway with tap water and put the pan on the stove-top, uncovered. Bring to a boil and boil briskly for two or three minutes, then turn off the burner.
- Scrape Off Residue: Then scrape the pan with a wooden spatula, pour off the water, and let the pan sit briefly. Residue will start to flake off as the pan dries. Wash the cookware with hot water and dish-washing liquid, and dry.
Remember to always cool before washing, do not put hot enameled cookware into cold water as thermal shock may occur, resulting in cracking or loss of enamel.
Is cast iron non stick?
Cast iron is different from your normal 'non stick' but the enamel coating provides a beautiful surface, ensure you have butter or oil.
Are they stocked in stores?
Not at this stage but stay tuned.
