enameled

By some miracle, my first effort emerged from my enameled dish with its shape immaculately retained, strata recognizably separate.

Typically made of enameled cast iron or stainless steel, dutch ovens heat quickly and maintain temperature effectively, making it an ideal vessel for searing and browning.

While you can spend a ton of money on beautiful enameled cast-iron cookware like Le Creuset, less-expensive brands such as Lodge offer relatively similar cooking performance at a fraction of the cost.

Lives Lived: The Conceptual painter Jennifer Bartlett was a maverick best known for “Rhapsody,” a collection of 987 enameled steel plates stretching more than 150 feet.

She liked the enameled steel’s enduring “freshness,” she said; it would not age physically or look dated.
