Cast Iron Cookware Is Something That Will Last A Lifetime
Did you know that there are two different types of cast-Iron Cookware? bare cast-iron and Enamel Cast iron cookware. The majority of people that purchase cast-iron Cookware preferred to use enamel because it doesn't rust is easy as you sometimes find with bare cast-iron. Another really good advantage is that it is much easier to clean. There are then other people say Enamel Cookware is much healthier because it is protected with a glaze of vitreous enamel (also called Porcelain Enamel).
Something else that you need to also know is that enamel is also a very expensive cookware product purchase. Most of the costs occur in manufacturing because it has been said it's a very complicated process in order to make. Another thing you should note is that you should never use water and soap to clean it because it can potentially ruin any cast-iron cookware by turning it rusty.
If you purchase cast-iron cookware before you do anything you need to make sure you correctly seasoned so you need to make sure you are familiar with this process before using it. Usually you'll get instructions from the manufacturer of the preferred way to do this. I'm sure you're well aware that any cast-iron cookware that has been taken care of will last a long time and is something that will definitely be used by many family members.
I'm sure you have also seen many cast-iron antiques and was really just a matter of paying a visit to your local stores and you'll start to see the type of cookware that can be passed on through the generations. And this happens, this cookware it can last that long. You need to make sure that you season it and take care of it to ensure that it remains in working order.
In order to make sure that your castiron cookware lasts you need to make sure you maintain it will. If you find it is starting to host a little bit or oil is missing you need to make sure you clean it properly in hot-water and enjoying it thoroughly. You then need to make sure you heat up your own to around 250° you then need to use some oil and simply smear a little bit on the surface and use something like paper kitchen towel to smear the inside of the cast-iron cookware with the oil. You can pop it into the oven for a couple of hours a good tip is to make sure you turn it upside down so that no oil gathers in the middle. Make sure to put some foil underneath this in your oven is you do not want the oil to drip inside.

Can you bake mac & cheese in Enameled Cast iron?
I have a Le Creuset 3.5 Qt braiser....can I bake mac & cheese in that, or will it burn on the edges before the middle gets hot?
I assume I would have to butter it WELL or else it will stick.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Yes you can. There's enough oil in the cheese so that you don't have to butter it. Butter burns anyway.
