Enameled Cast Iron Pots - A Review By Molly Steven

Molly Stevens recently reviewed enameled cast iron cookware, including several enameled cast iron pots and she gave us six choices according to best-fitting lid, favorite, big batches, most affordable, great find and easiest to maneuver.

Why should we listen to Molly Stevens? She’s a food writer, editor and a cooking teacher. She is very well known for her cookbook “All about Braising: The Art of Uncomplicated Cooking” which already won an award like the 2005 James Beard Foundation and another for International Association of Culinary Professionals ward. She has been a contributor to several food magazines out there like Bon Appetit, Saveur, and The Oregonian to name a few.

We can trust Molly Stevens’ taste most especially when it comes to braising. For most cooks out there they’d understand right away what braising means, for some they’d just see it in restaurant menus written like braised beef or braised pork spare ribs. It’s actually a combination of two cooking method that incorporates moist and dry heat, hence you’d see in Molly Steven’s article the particular interest in searing. Searing is a method of cooking where the surface of the food is blasted with high heat. The moist part is to boil in a slow simmer with a liquid mixture that will result to a soupy savory mixture.

According to Molly Stevens one of the best pots to use is in braising is an enameled cast iron pots. She has listed several advantages of this pan and according to her these they are easy to clean and are very durable. It may take time for it to be heated however once heated it holds it evenly. And the glossy enamel makes it better because it is easy to clean. She said that the shape that we should look for in enameled cast iron pots is round with wide sides which are straight. I have only found some of it online. Maybe you can treat it as updated version of her review.
