Enamelled cast iron casseroles are not a new invention, quite the contrary. They have been a staple in kitchens around the world for many decades. And with good reason.
Here we have compiled six reasons why an enamelled cast iron casserole deserves its place as a kitchen classic – in your home too.
Fantastic heat retention
When it comes to heat retention, cast iron is the most effective material you can get in ordinary casseroles.
This makes it perfect for creating a crust – for example, when browning minced beef for Bolognese sauce or making goulash.
And when the dish needs to simmer for a long time afterwards, the material really comes into its own.
A cast iron casserole does not need much heat once it has been heated, because it stores heat so efficiently.
So you save energy when you let your chili con carne simmer in a cast iron casserole.
No mysterious coatings
When you hear the word “enamel”, do you think of PFAS or a bunch of chemicals you have no chance of knowing or distinguishing between?
Then we have good news for you.
Our cast iron casserole is coated with a type of glass enamel,
and it is completely free of PFAS or other types of questionable chemicals found in many coated cookware items.
Incredible versatility
No matter what type of stove you have, you will enjoy an enamelled cast iron casserole.
It can be used on all heat sources.
And it is also sublime in the oven, both for baking and straight from the hob.
Make delicious casserole bread, roast chicken or put your boeuf bourguignon in the oven until it is tender and flavourful.
Thanks to the enamel, you can even use the casserole to store food, even if it is acidic.
And of course, you can put the casserole on the table with the hot dish inside – which will stay warm for a long time thanks to the casserole’s effective heat storage.
A casserole for generations
Our casserole is not just made to last a lifetime, it is made to last for generations.
When it comes to enamelled cast iron, there is one thing that is extremely important for the casserole’s durability: the enamel.
This is where good-quality casseroles differ from poor-quality ones.
Poor-quality enamel is not very strong and breaks easily – and once the enamel is broken, the casserole can no longer be used.
That is why we manufacture our casseroles at a French company with over 100 years of experience in making enamelled cast iron.
Here, each casserole is enamelled by hand in several layers for the strongest possible result.
We have not cut corners – and you will notice this for many years to come when your casserole continues to provide you and your family with wonderful culinary experiences.
Easy maintenance
An enamelled cast iron casserole is incredibly easy to clean.
Warm water, soap and a dishwashing brush are all you need for daily cleaning.
Thanks to the enamel, you don’t have to worry about rust forming as you would with raw cast iron, and the casserole does not need to be seasoned with oil.
Cook, wash up, put away – and it’s ready for the next time you turn on the stove.
Aesthetic addition
Last but not least, it’s hard to ignore the fact that a cast iron casserole is a beautiful addition to any kitchen.
Not only will it last a lifetime, but it’s also a piece of cookware you’ll want to look at for a lifetime.
Its timeless design and classic colours will complement your stove, dining table or the shelf where you store it.
