Whether you’re slow-roasting dinner for a crowd or whipping up dinner for one, enameled cast iron is a must-have for any kitchen. Ready to take home a bright and colorful piece of USA Enamel™?

USA Enamel Dutch Oven 

If you often have a lot of folks around your table, an enameled cast iron dutch oven is a great choice. They’re extremely versatile and range in sizes from 4.5 quarts to 7 quarts, so you can make everything from sides and desserts to pots of chili and big roasts. We stand by the 6 quart as our most popular size because it can accommodate almost any recipe. That’s the place to start if this is going to be your first or go-to dutch oven! You can always add smaller and larger sizes to your collection.

USA Enamel Skillet with Food

USA Enamel Skillet 

This skillet takes everything you love about a cast iron skillet and tops it off with an enamel cooking surface and exterior that can stand up to acidic ingredients and marinate and store foods in the fridge—all without the risk of rust. If you’re in the habit of simmering acidic ingredients—think tomato sauce and lemon juice—for an extended period of time, this is the pan you want to reach for. The 11 inch size provides plenty of room for searing steaks, making a lemony pasta, or serving shakshuka. And the enamel cooking surface provides a great sear, even heat, and easy cleanup.

If you love grilled flavor—no matter what the season—this is the perfect pan for the job. The enamel grilling surface creates mouthwatering sear marks to proteins and veggies, so you can bring delicious (and beautiful) food to the table. That’s thanks to the cast iron core that provides a nice, even heat for the perfect sear. Of course it’s great for chicken, steaks, burgers, and pork chops, but we turn to this pan for panini-style sandwiches, grilled halloumi, and shrimp skewers, too. When you're done, all you have to do is gently clean with warm, soapy water so it’s ready for the next indoor grilling adventure. Low effort and big flavor—that’s a win-win.  
 

Put a bow on USA Enamel™

USA Enamel™ loves to celebrate life’s wins—big and small. That makes these colorful, enameled cast iron pieces the perfect way to say: “We love you!”, “High five!”, or “You did it!”. While USA Enamel™ makes a great gift for big moments like weddings, birthdays, and holidays, they’re also a nice way to honor all of the original occasions that come in between. Get a bottle of champagne ready!
