Country Living Enameled Cast Iron

Beautiful pan, extremely heavy. That's what you get with cast iron! That part I'm perfectly happy with. This thing is solid and it looks good. My problem is with the claim that it is easy to clean. Even at medium heat, this thing will have food debris crusted onto it that is impossible to clean easily. And since that is the case, you end up needing to soak it, which is against the recommendations for the product, but you aren't getting this thing clean without some serious scrubbing or soaking. So you've got two choices, and neither of them are good for the surface of the pan. I would recommend trying to cook at lower temperatures than you think you might need, since cast iron conducts heat very well, and this also lessens the crusting of food debris produced during cooking.
