Unlike traditional cast iron pans that are essentially “raw iron” with a thin layer of seasoning on them, enameled pans are a lot more durable, a lot more resilient, and a lot more nonstick right out of the box.
The enameled coating applied to these pans is usually made up of a powdered glass material mixed with a bit of clay and some water. Pigments are added into the mix to produce gorgeous and vibrant colors most of the time, but the end goal here is to create a second hardened – and super slick – surface on these pans.
