Cast iron enamel cookware can handle very high temperatures but the enamel layer can be delicate and susceptible to scratching.

Also, when cooking in the enamel cookware, use a wooden or plastic spatula instead of a metal spoon to avoid scratching or damaging the enamel layer.
Enamel cast iron cookware has a smooth, non-stick surface due to its enamel coating, making it easier to clean and maintain.
