Cast Iron Saucepan

Enameled cast iron saucepans are crafted from a base made from heavy-duty cast iron, an age-old material known for its durability and retention. This is then coated with enamel. The result? A glossy, impermeable layer that prevents the cast iron from rusting and eliminates the need for regular seasoning, a maintenance process that’s required to keep raw cast iron cookware in working order. The enamel surface is also non-reactive, meaning it won't interact with your ingredients to alter flavors, and it cleans up beautifully too.

Why Should You Use a Cast Iron Saucepan?

So, why should you choose a cast iron saucepan? Besides the versatility and resilience cast iron brings to cooking, the saucepan truly does it all across any heat source you choose, be it induction, electric, gas, or even an open flame.

Speaking of, cast iron excels in the backcountry, standing up to the challenge of an open fire just as well as it does your stovetop. It looks good, too—there's a rustic charm to cast iron that's truly timeless. Whether you're a home cook ready to elevate your culinary game or you’re on the hunt for durable, outdoor-friendly cookware, our enameled cast iron saucepan is the tool for you.

How to Use a Cast Iron Saucepan

For those new to the world of cast iron cookware, using an enameled cast iron saucepan is pretty straightforward. Start by preheating the pan on a medium setting, as cast iron's superior heat retention can lead to overheating if placed directly on high heat. When it's up to temperature, adjust the heat as needed for your recipe. One of the beauties of this pan is its versatility—sear steaks, simmer stews, sauté vegetables, or even bake bread, as there's hardly a task it can't handle.
