When cleaning enameled cast iron cookware, avoid using abrasive cleaners or metal brushes to avoid scratching the enamel surface. It’s best to use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to clean enamel cookware. In addition, regularly apply a layer of cooking oil to the enamel surface to prevent rust and maintain its luster.

By following these tips, you can effectively repair chipped enamel cookware, extending its lifespan and maintaining its functionality and aesthetic appeal. Remember that proper care and maintenance are essential for preserving the beauty and utility of enamel cookware.

Like their aluminum counterpart, carbon steel frying pans are an excellent conductor of heat. However, they are a more durable and long-lasting option with the proper care, plus they can be used on induction cooktops. They can maintain both low and high temperatures for greater versatility and can cook both delicate foods like eggs and fish as well as sear thick meats like steaks and pork chops. Like cast iron, carbon steel pans require regular seasoning to maintain their non-stick capabilities. However, they heat up faster and are more lightweight, making them a great alternative to cast iron skillets. It is important to note that carbon steel pans are not ideal for cooking acidic foods as they can alter the foods' taste.
