Our Enameled Cast Iron Cookware doesn't require seasoning and is ready to use straight out of the box. This means you can cook a wide variety of dishes, including acidic foods (unlike seasoned cast iron), without any concerns. It is easy to maintain—just wash it with soap and water.

While seasoning isn’t necessary, you may notice a patina, or sheen, forming over time from the oils released during cooking. This is completely normal, and your pan can continue to be used without removing the patina.

Our Enameled Cast Iron Cookware is designed with a durable enameled coating that reduces sticking compared to traditional cast iron. For optimal performance, preheat the pan and use a small amount of oil or butter for an effortless cooking experience.

Absolutely! Our Enameled Cast Iron Cookware is compatible with all stovetops and is oven-safe up to 500°F

We recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to ensure your cookware’s longevity. Products like Barkeepers Friend®, Dawn Platinum™, and white vinegar are also great options for cleaning. For more details, check out our Care & Cleaning guide.

To protect the enamel coating, avoid using metal utensils like knives, whisks, or spatulas. Instead, use wooden (like our Prepware!), silicone, plastic, or nylon utensils. Avoid cutting food directly in the pan to prevent scratches.

Our Enameled Cast Iron stands out for its durability, superior heat retention, and even heat distribution. It’s perfect for recipes that involve searing, frying, and baking.
