3398.0. "COOKWARE: Enamel Cookware" by BRAT::ALBERT () Thu Jan 02 1992 08:50

    
    I've searched this file for info on enamel cookware so excuse
    me if I am repeating this note. I received some enamel cookware
    for christmas and am curious on how it handles cooking, cleaning
    etc.... It looks to pretty to cook in. So far I have heard horror
    stories on things burning and the bottoms turning black. Any insight
    would be appreciated.

	If your referring to enameled cookware such as Le Crueset, which is enamel coated cast iron, I think it works great. The secret to using this heavy cookware is to use much lower temperatures while cooking. This stuff really holds the heat so you don't need to use such high temperatures. It can be used either on top of the stove or in the oven. Even the hard plastic cover handles can stand up to 325*F. I find it cleans up very nicely with very little scrubbing. If anything does get stuck to the bottom I just soak it for a little while and use a teflon scrubber to clean it. Once you get used to using this cookware you won't want to use anything else, it's great!
