Enameled cast iron is a remarkable and robust material that
performs well with modern requirements for food preparation and
cooking. Whether you choose to stir-fry, slow-cook a casserole,
sear a steak or bake a cake, there is a shape that is suitable.
Cast iron performs well for either slow cooking or
high-temperature searing.
Cast iron can be used reliably on any heat source, including
induction, and with any oven or grill. It has the ability to
retain heat efficiently, which allows for use of lower heat
settings in stovetop and oven cooking. On the table, a hot
covered dish will keep food hot for second servings.
Cast iron can also be used to keep foods cold. A chilled dish
becomes an ideal cold food server on a hot summer day. It can
also be placed in the freezer for food storage or advanced food
preparation.
The vitreous enamel surface is impermeable and therefore ideal
for raw or cooked food storage, and for marinating with ic
ingredients such as wine.

Cooking tips for grilling:
--------------------------
Grills may be preheated to reach a hot surface temperature for
searing and caramelization. This advice does not apply to any
other products. For correct grilling and searing, it is important
that the cooking surface is sufficiently hot before cooking
begins. Sear lines from ribbed grills will not be produced if the
pan surface is too cool, or if the food is too wet. Place the
empty pan on medium heat and allow it to heat for several
minutes. Do not add oil to the cold pan -- the oil may become too
hot and smoke.
Take a few drops of water on your fingers and scatter over the
hot surface. If they sizzle and evaporate almost immediately it
is hot and ready for use. If the water produces steam and has no
sizzle, heat the pan a little longer and repeat the water test
again. When the surface is hot enough, lightly oil it with
cooking spray or brush it with oil using a Le Creuset silicone
basting brush. Vegetable, ground nut or corn oils are
recommended. Olive oil may cause excessive smoking.
Once a patina covers the cooking surface very little oil will be
necessary. For distinct sear lines, leave the food undisturbed on
the surface for several minutes. If the food is moved too quickly
the lines will be poor, and steam from the food may be released
onto the surface.
Any food for grilling or searing must be quite dry before it is
placed on the hot surface. Wet foods will not achieve good sear
lines and may result in a steamed appearance and flavor. Use
paper towels to pat off excess moisture from foods. Oil can then
be brushed over the food if desired. Foods that have been
marinated should also have excess moisture removed with paper
towels.
