So Which One Is It?

Although “skillet” is in the name, these vessels are not made of cast iron but instead of stainless steel, just like frying pans.

Aesthetic Appeal: Enamel cookware is prized for its aesthetic appeal, with a smooth and glossy finish available in a variety of vibrant colors. The potjie pot, in particular, adds a touch of rustic charm to the kitchen and dining table, making it a conversation piece for gatherings and meals.

They have a single, long handle, like fry pans, but also usually feature a smaller side handle to help the cook lift the added weight of more food. Saute Pans also usually come with a lid designed to hold in moisture. This makes them much more useful for slow cooking with sauces.

How to clean: For burned stains, boil 2 cups water and 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar in the pan for 20 minutes, then scrub.

Carbon-steel pans are thinner and lighter than cast iron pans. They heat up quickly but lose heat just as fast. Like cast iron pans, they can also be seasoned to make them non-stick. They distribute heat evenly and are oven safe. Their main disadvantage is that they're prone to rust easily if not cared for properly.

    When it comes to maintenance, cast iron double griddles require minimal effort.  Regular seasoning and proper cleaning will keep your cookware in tip-top shape.  With its sturdy construction and low maintenance, cast iron double griddles are undoubtedly a favorite among home cooks and professional chefs alike.

Versatile Cooking and Baking: From stovetop to oven, enameled cast iron cookware sets are suitable for a variety of cooking and baking techniques. They can be used to prepare everything from hearty stews and braised meats to artisanal bread and flavorful desserts.
