So... "CHEF ATTY"...

... what is your take on enameled cast iron cookware???

Haven't tried it. But it's something that I WOULD try. I'd get one good pan or pot and see how it does over a year. The casseroles/Dutch Ovens are interesting.

The thing is, with cast iron, you don't want to simmer acidic stuff in it because you lose all the "natural non-stick" carbon coating. That's also why you don't want to use much soap when you clean them.

But the enameled stuff....doesn't have that problem. IDK about how non-stick it is though. I imagine that over time it get's marred and sticks just like any other pan, so you'd say to yourself "should have gotten stainless".

Basically, you want the cast iron for even heat and heat retention or for natural non-stick, particularly high-heat non-stick. That's why a Dutch Oven is appealing for this application.

So for "frying" you don't need it as much you do for browning-then-simmering.

I'd also check reviews.
