Re: le creuset enamel skillets

Thanks, Dr. Mike.

My question is: why not buy a much cheaper cast iron skillet if the inside of le

creuset's aren't coated with enamel? Seems like I'd just be paying for

aesthetics in this case. Then again, maybe enamel coating for pan frying is not

a good idea from a cooking standpoint. I think I'll just be happy with my plain

cast irons--they do work well.

What makes you say that they are not coated with enamel?

No , these folks are obviously not marketing genius'.

Their website stinks and for some reason they opted to change the

color of the enamel inside the pan to black. I have no idea why but

I have had several emails with le creuset corporate and they maintain

that the inside of the pan is in fact enamel.

only the outside of the skillet.
