Why Enameled Cast Iron

Deep, steady heat. No seasoning required.

A solid cast-iron core holds heat through long cooking, while the enamel provides an easy-care surface that handles acidic ingredients.

Holds heat longer

Steady temperature supports braising, roasting and slow cooking.

No seasoning needed

The enameled surface arrives ready to cook.

Handles acidic foods

Tomato, citrus and wine cook directly against the enamel.

Stove to table

A finished piece that serves as beautifully as it cooks.

PROOF, NOT PROMISES

ENAMELED CAST IRON

Enameled cast iron—with food-contact testing you can verify.

A glass-based enamel covers the cast-iron core, giving you deep, steady heat without traditional seasoning. The non-reactive surface handles tomato, citrus and wine with simpler care.
