Is enameled cast iron cookware healthy?

When it comes to health some consider non-coated cast iron cookware to be beneficial because when cooking with it you get iron in the food you cook. If you are someone who battles iron levels this may be something you decide helps you.

However, if you cook with non-coated cast iron cookware too often there can be a chance of raising your iron to a toxic level. With enamel coated cast iron cookware you don’t have to worry about leaching iron, you also don’t have to worry about destroying your seasoning by having something acidic like granny’s pasta sauce.

The FDA also considers enameled cast iron cookware safe, with regulations in place to make sure that if your cookware is imported that it doesn’t have any potentially toxic substances like cadmium in their pigments.

Do you need to season enameled cast iron cookware?

No, for the most part of enameled cast iron cookware is not required to be seasoned like traditional non-coated cast iron one. That is what draws chefs to purchase it.

However, there can be a thin rim along the top of the pan that may need to be seasoned. If your enamel cast iron cookware has a rim use a paper towel, a little oil, and your oven can get it seasoned in no time. Far quicker and easier than a cast-iron skillet.

A Dutch oven is also known as a casserole dish in some countries. The French call them cocotte. It is a thick-walled cooking pot with a lid that fits tightly.

They are usually made of seasoned cast iron cookware and because they are so deep they can hold more of the tasty things.
