Is cast iron with enamel coating safe?

Yes, enameled cast iron is completely safe and non-toxic. Unlike traditional cast iron, enameled cast iron does not leach any iron into your food. It is also more durable, protects your pan from rust, and does not require seasoning.

Are enameled cast iron pans non-stick?

Enameled cast iron cookware doesn't stick and makes for a much smoother cooking experience, at lower temperatures. Enamel works best at medium temperatures, whereas cast iron works great at low, medium, and higher temperatures.

Does enameled cast iron scratch?

Enameled cast iron has very few downsides, and this is one of them. If you drop or otherwise hit the surface with a heavy object or utensil, the material is prone to scratching, chipping\u2014and in extreme cases, cracking. This is because the enamel coating is made of a material similar to glass. But don't worry.

Which is better cast iron or enameled cast iron?

While enamel is useful in that it eliminates the pitted surface of cast iron where food can more readily get trapped and stick, it is not inherently nonstick and does not build up a seasoning. So each time you cook, you'll need a sufficient amount of fat to avoid stuck-on messes.
