Calphalon Enameled Cast Iron Cookware PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mark Jala   
Calphalon Enameled Cast Iron is made of heavyweight cast iron that distributes heat evenly and has an attractive porcelain enamel exterior. The interior is satin enamel, handles are oversized for easy lifting, and it is oven safe up to 500 degrees. Exterior enamel colors include chive (green), mustard (yellow) and cabernet (deep red). Calphalon sells five pieces of cookware in their Enameled Cast Iron line- an 8 quart oval Dutch oven, an 8 quart Round Dutch oven, a rectangular baker, a fry pan, and a panini pan with press.

DishwasherSafe.gifYou should not use metal utensils with this line. It does not need to be seasoned like regular cast iron cookware. It has a lifetime warranty. The Calphalon enameled cast iron cookware is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended.

CalphalonEnameleCastIron.jpgThere are few reviews of Calphalon Enameled Cast Iron. The person who does not appreciate the panini pan says of this cookware, "When I first washed it, the knob on the top came unscrewed in my hand as I was drying it. This is supposed to be solid cast iron!  It's cheaply assembled from parts, not cast in one, durable piece. The enameling is also applied sloppily. There are bubbles in it, so in many spots it's thin, potentially causing the cast iron underneath to rust over time.  Quality control appears very poor for a $100 pan."

The five star reviewer says, "I use this panini grill with press at least 3 times a week and it has held up for 7 months now, without a scratch!  A beautiful asset to any kitchen and the red is stunning!  A must have, and a great price!"

The single reviewer of the rectangular baker says, "This pan is amazing!!! You can put it on the stove and saute your veggies and ground your meat, add the extra ingredients and pop it in the oven.  The pan heats up fast and evenly resulting in less cooking time.  Compared to my standard Pyrex, I have cut the cooking time in half on most of my casseroles and dishes.  In the end, I have one dish to clean and I cut my cooking time in half."

Overall there are few reviewers of this line at Amazon, but most endorse the product quite earnestly.
