enameled cookware
Coated cast iron
Enameled cookware is pots and pans made of cast iron or steel coated with a layer of porcelain enamel—glass fused to metal at high heat.
The coating creates a nonreactive, easy-to-clean surface that won't absorb flavors or odors: Her enameled Dutch oven is perfect for slow braises.
Unlike bare cast iron, it requires no seasoning but chips if dropped or overheated.
