Heavy and cooks well
The enameled cast iron casserole, or dutch oven, is a great addition to any chef’s kitchen. It generally becomes a family heirloom, because the pot will outlast the chef.
The most well known brand is Le Creuset, but those are also the most expensive. I’ve found this Cuisinart to be very capable and it’s about half the price. Its taken some punishment from me over the past few weeks and performed admirably.
I have a Le Creuset enameled aluminum stock pot. I can’t see a noticeable difference in the quality of their enameling. This bad boy is serious cookware for serious cooking.
Cuisinart Enameled Cast Iron – WHAT A FIND!!!
If you are looking for affordable enameled cast iron this is it. I’ve used Le Creuset many times and it is great cookware…but this is just as good for much less money. I bought this piece – the 7qt oval Dutch Oven in Cherry Red for $89.90 on Amamzon..(the corresponding Le Creuset piece goes for $275.00) and is is beautifully made…not like some of the cheaper knock-offs. Its VERY heavy and the enamel is applied perfectly. Will buy additional pieces (5qt Dutch Oven, grill pan etc.) now that I know Cuisinart makes their Enameled Cast Iron so well.
Cracked and Disappointed
I bought this enameled cast iron pan in hopes that it would be high enough quality to last. Unfortunately, I found cracks in the enamel after only two uses of very light wear. My stovetop use did not exceed the medium setting and my oven use didn’t exceed 300 degrees. I would consider that very gentle handling! I will be returning this and buying a le creuset in hopes of a better result.
