Enameled Cast Iron Cookware Vs Cast Iron Cookware

Cast iron cookware is popular around the world for its steady, even heat release, ideal for healthy cooking at low temperatures.

So Enameled Cast Iron Cookware Vs Cast Iron Cookware(Oil coating cast iron cookware), what is the difference between them?

Cast iron cookware is made of a single material, so it is relatively immune to sudden temperature change, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to rust if it is not maintained.

The enamel cast iron cookware has an enamel layer on the surface of the cast iron cookware, is not rust and does not require a lot of time to maintain. Enamel is a "composite material that fuses inorganic vitreous material on the base casting and firmly combines it with the casting". When the casting surface is coated, it can effectively prevent the cast iron from rusting, and at the same time, it will not let the oxide layer be produced on the surface during the heating process, and it can also resist the corrosion of various liquids. (So when we usually use enameled cast iron cookware to cook food, we do not need to worry about producing harmful substances due to high temperature, and the enameled cast iron cookware will not chemically react with food due to high temperature.) But the coefficients of thermal expansion and contraction of the two materials are different, so it should be noted that the enameled cast iron cookware can’t be used in the case of sudden temperature change.

Then the specific differences between the enameled cast iron cookware and the cast iron cookware are as follows, welcome to continue reading if you have an interest:

1. Different materials

Cast iron cookware is mainly made of iron with a small amount of sulfur, phosphorus, manganese, silicon, carbon, etc.

Enameled cast iron cookware is made of iron, carbon, and inorganic glass enamel.

2. The colors are different. The enameled cast iron cookware has colorful and rich colors because of the inorganic glass enamel. The color of the cast iron cookware is basically oil black.

3. Different heat transfer

Cast iron cookware has the characteristics of a thinner wall than enameled cast iron cookware and fast heat transfer. The enameled cast iron cookware has the characteristics of fast heat conduction, even heating, and good heat preservation performance.

4. Different characteristics

Cast iron cookware has a rough surface; enameled cast iron cookware has good air-tightness.

5. Different uses

Cast iron cookware is mostly used for frying and frying dishes; enameled cast iron cookware is mostly used for stewing and cooking dishes。
