Caring For Enameled Cookware

Since Fuller Brush has made enamelled cookware as part of it's "My Kitchen, My Home" collection, I thought I should do a post on the care of enamelled cookware.

I have to be honest, I had never owned any enamelled cookware until I purchased a couple saucepans from Fuller.

After using them, I have to wonder what made me wait so long!

They come with usage and care instructions, but being me I had to do a search to see what others had to say.  There are many websites with instructions, but they really all boil down (pardon the pun) to some key points, which are tailored here to the Fuller Brush cookware.

1. Enamelled cookware heats and cools slowly.  It holds an even heat during cooking, which requires less stirring.
2. Use plastic or wooden utensils. Avoid metal, which can scratch the enamel.
3. Use on any cooktop. Gas, electric or ceramic are all okay.  These pans are NOT made for use in the oven or over outdoor flames.
4. Never start heating your enamelled cookware empty. Always place a small amount of food, water or oil in the cookware.
5. Start low and turn the heat up accordingly until you've reached your desired cooking temperature.
6. Allow your enamelled cookware to cool before cleaning.
7. Clean with a mild detergent and a wash cloth. Use a nylon scrubber or brush for tough stuff.  Do not use metal! If you have food stuck on that you can't remove, add water to cover the food and slowly bring to a boil.  Then use a nylon brush to remove the food.

I know this list looks formidable. It really isn't. Once you start using your Fuller Brush cookware this will all become second nature and I'm sure you'll enjoy using your cookware as much as I do using mine!
