Enamel cast iron saw its first rise in popularity throughout Europe soon after it was invented in the late 1700’s
before quickly moving to the American continent and into our way of life. Enamel cast iron utilizes a process in which
tiny, colored glass particles are melted and then fused onto cast iron at temperatures in excess of 176°. This process gives
enameled cast iron the glassy coating which is available in a variety of colors.

Enamel cast iron cookware is available in a wide array of styles similar to traditional cast iron
cookware. Whether you are looking for a cast iron skillet, cast iron casserole pot
or the highly versatile cast iron dutch oven, you can find the product with the enamel cast iron coating.
No matter what kind of
enamel cast iron cookware
you purchase, they are just as well suited for the oven as they are the stove top.

Enamel cast iron cookware offers a number of benefits over all other types of cookware, including traditional cast iron.
These benefits make enamel cast iron cookware the ideal choice for a wide array of stove top and oven cooking. Some of
the benefits of cooking with enamel cast iron cookware include:

• Versatility – Whether you are using an
  enamel cast iron skillet
  or an enamel cast iron dutch oven, they are perfect for the stove top or the oven. In fact, because of the enamel
  coating, enamel cast iron will not harm electric or glass stove tops like traditional cast iron may.
• Easy Cleanup – The glassy coating of enamel cast iron makes cleaning it even easier than traditional cast iron
  cookware. Just use hot, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. In fact, many styles of enamel cast iron cookware are even dishwasher-safe.
• Even Heating – As with all types of cast iron cookware, enamel cast iron provides even heat distribution to your food.
  This is especially useful with
  enamel cast iron casserole pots
  and dutch ovens when baking at low temperatures in an oven.
• No Seasoning – Because of the enamel coating on enameled cast iron cookware, there is no need for seasoning before use.
  In fact, the enamel coating makes enameled cast iron skillets, casserole pots and dutch ovens non-stick – similar to properly seasoned
  traditional cast iron cookware.
• No Rust – Unlike traditional
  cast iron cookware,
  which is prone to rusting when not seasoned properly or when submerged in water for long periods of time, enamel cast
  iron cookware’s coating protects it from the effects, allowing you to boil water, soak and place your enamel cast
  iron dutch ovens and skilets in the dishwasher.
• Variety – One of the most notable benefits of enamel cast iron is the variety of colors it gives to
  consumers. Enamel cast iron cookware is available in a wide array of colors that you can purchase to match your existing
