The benefits of enameled cast iron:
Enamelled cast iron allows slow, steady, and deep diffusion of heat, making it ideal for long, simmered, or low-heat cooking. Its high thermal inertia guarantees even cooking and excellent heat retention. It is oven- and hob-compatible with all types of heat sources, and can also be used as a serving dish. The enamel protects the cast iron from oxidation, makes maintenance easier, and preserves the flavors of foods.

A vintage piece with character, sturdy and decorative, rare in its design and in the quality of its cast iron, intended for both lovers of traditional cooking and collectors of antique utensils.
