Hi all,
I have a enameled cast iron dutch oven. Fairly recent purchase.
I had been putting it on my stove top with about .5 gallon of water in it to humidify the room a bit. Even when the stove top hit 450-500 degrees, it never boiled, it simply steamed a little bit.
Anyway, several times it ran out of water. I filled it back up, no big deal, or so I thought? Now, the enamel feels rough all around the bottom and looks like its starting to break up.
I thought enameled iron was perfectly fine at these temps, even with nothing in them. Was I wrong? Or is it a dutch oven enamel issue?
Joe
