Benefits of Enamel Coated Cast Iron Cookware

There are many reasons why people love their cast iron cookware. Select a few pieces for your home to understand more about why these skillets are so popular.

• Cast iron allows you to slowly cook food for an intense flavor that bursts forth from a lightly charred surface when used with the right level of heat. In other instances, you can create thick stewed textures that are hearty and warming.
• Enamel coating is a bright and easy to clean, while allowing you to design a kitchen decor scene that suits your personality and matches your other home elements, like table linens, dinnerware patterns or candles and other centerpiece details.
• Your enamel coated cast iron skillet is a true oven-to-table piece. Line its surface with cuts or chops of meat, make an omelette or quiche, bake cornbread or sauté vegetables. Once you're done cooking, bring the skillet to the table and place it on a trivet for serving.

Shopping for Skillets, Grills and More

Discover the wide variety of options you have when choosing an enamel coated cast iron skillet or similar pieces. Start by browsing your favorite brands, like Staub or Le Creuset, both known for their cast iron and enamel pieces.

• A skillet is a cross between a fry pan and a griddle, so if you love using yours, you may want a griddle or grill.
• A grill features the ridges you expect from an outdoor grill. A cast iron grill goes on top of two burners so that you can make burgers, chops or fajitas.
• With a griddle, you can make pancakes by the stack or fry eggs, bacon or other breakfast foods.
• Enjoy pressing sandwiches or panini on the grill or griddle.

Many of these pieces can be used interchangeably, so begin by selecting an enamel coated cast iron skillet and see where your culinary interests take you.
